Severe Renal Arteriosclerosis in Lupus Nephritis Predicts ASCVD
Severe renal arteriosclerosis in diagnostic lupus nephritis biopsies is associated with 9-fold higher odds of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

A Swedish study of patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease found that women were less likely than men to experience disease progression and to die from any cause or cardiovascular causes.
Diets that promote hyperinsulinemia and inflammation increase the likelihood of advanced or fatal prostate cancer, a new study suggests.
In a study of men on active surveillance for localized prostate cancer, each 1-unit increase in Mediterranean diet score, calculated based on patients’ baseline food frequency questionnaire information, was associated with a 12% decreased risk for Gleason grade group progression.
Six months after receiving low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy nearly 52% of men reported having satisfactory sexual intercourse, a study found.
A small study suggests that poor medication compliance and certain histopathologic features may be associated with development of end-stage kidney disease within 3 years of lupus nephritis diagnosis.
Use of active surveillance or watchful waiting for low-risk prostate cancer in the United States increased from 2010 to 2015, but the extent to which these management strategies are used varies widely depending on where patients reside, a study found.
In a study, statin use was associated with a 36% decreased risk for death among men initiating androgen deprivation therapy for recurrent prostate cancer following primary or salvage radiation therapy.
Surgical and nonsurgical local salvage treatments for prostate cancer (PCa) that recurs following radiation therapy offer similar 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates, but re-irradiation appears to result in less toxicity, according to a new meta-analysis. A team led by Amar U. Kishan, MD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, analyzed data from 150 studies…
