Authors: Ramírez Carlos Víctor Hernández , García Dulce Carolina Sánchez
Published: February 2025

Rickettsioses are a group of bacterial infections of zoonotic origin caused by intracellular bacteria of the genera Rickettsia and Orientia. These infections are transmitted to humans by arthropod vectors such as ticks, fleas, lice and mites. These illnes present clinically as acute febrile illnesses accompanied by symptoms such as headache, myalgia and general malaise, as well as skin manifestations that may include rash and scars and vary according to the species of rickettsia identified. From the point of view of public health and its impact on the population, the most important is Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), a serious infection caused by the bacteria, Rickettsia rickettsii, a pleomorphic, obligate intracellular coccobacillus, which was discovered in 1908 by Howard Ricketts who died of rickettsiosis in 1910 in Mexico, was first described in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States, and has been reported in Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina. In Mexico, the most affected region is the north of the country, where the fatality rate reaches an average of 30%, mainly affecting the vulnerable population, including children and adults in conditions of poverty, overcrowding and unhealthy environments.

A compreensão do ambiente em que vivemos nos ensina a proteger e cuidar dele. Entender os comportamentos e a percepção ambiental das pessoas pode melhorar a educação e a gestão ambiental. Este estudo analisou o conhecimento e a percepção de alunos do ensino médio sobre problemas ambientais e suas ações de proteção, incentivando a reflexão sobre um ambiente sustentável. A pesquisa, quali-quantitativa, incluiu 545 estudantes de nove escolas no Rio Grande do Sul: três privadas e seis públicas (duas técnicas e quatro regulares). Um questionário online com 32 questões foi aplicado e os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente com o teste de qui-quadrado. Os problemas ambientais mais impactantes identificados foram: desmatamento, poluição do ar e mudanças climáticas. A maioria dos entrevistados reconheceu as causas do aquecimento global e a importância das unidades de conservação (UC), embora apenas 27% pudessem nomear uma UC. As ações individuais mais citadas foram economia de água e energia. Sobre instituições de proteção ambiental, 66% não conseguiram citar nenhuma e apenas 26% conheciam o trabalho dessas instituições. Em relação ao licenciamento ambiental, só 22,6% tinham conhecimento sobre suas funções. A escola foi citada como a principal fonte de informação ambiental, seguida das redes sociais, reforçando a importância da educação ambiental formal. Os resultados sugerem uma maior integração entre instituições de proteção ambiental e escolas para aprimorar o conhecimento dos jovens sobre as questões ambientais e a sua governança.
Towards a decentring of standardised peace mediation governance
Authors: Seidel Katrin
Published: February 2025

Peace mediation has not only become a guiding paradigm for global governance, but also part of the toolkit of international peace diplomacy. Mediation promises to transform conflicts, promote peace and security, and prevent crises. Numerous international and (sub-)regional governance actors therefore compete for influence in a growing mediation market. Internationalised mediation approaches and practices are deeply rooted in Anglo-Eurocentric politico-philosophical thoughts and ‘liberal’ mediation theory. Peace mediation theory and discourse are remarkably silent on the question of entrenched knowledge hierarchies and their (re)production - a gap that becomes also visible in peace mediation in African contexts. This article critically reflects on the African Union’s peace mediation approaches against a backdrop of path dependencies of Eurocentric perceptions and internationally transferred standardised instruments. It problematises standardised peace mediation governance with its de-contextualisation, de-politicisation, and de-pluralisation effects and shows how hegemonic assumptions and principles embedded in the travelling mediation model are translated into peace mediation practices in African contexts. It furthermore criticises the coloniality implicit in these embedded hegemonic assumptions and principles, proposing angles for decentring and reimagining mediation as a decolonial device, operating across diverse conflict resolution knowledges.

Authors: Nguyen Thi Thuy Loan  , Diep Thanh Tung  , Nguyen Thi Ngan Ha  , Duong Kim Hau
Published: February 2025

In recent years, increased market demand has led many regions to promote shallot cultivation. The development of the shallot valuechain in the Mekong Delta has been faced with high logistics costs, which hinder the competitiveness of its agricultural supply chains. This study analyzes the shallot value chain in Tra Vinh Province, focusing on logistics costs for actors like farmers, collectors, wholesalers, and retailers. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the research identifies key logistics expenses, primarily transportation, followed by classification and packaging. According to the research findings, the shallot value chain in Tra Vinh Province is primarily domestic. Specifically, the primary market channels are farmers – collectors – wholesalers – retailers – consumers. Shallots are profitable for farmers, generating an average profit of 9.53 thousand VND/kg, a 1.64 profit margin. However, production has declined due to unfavorable weather and payment risks, causing farmers to reduce cultivation and switch to other crops. Regarding logistics costs, logistics functions and costs for each activity vary substantially among participants. Farmers performthe most logistics responsibilities along the value chain; therefore, their total costs are the greatest, with incoming logistics expenses accounting for the largest amount. Collectors have the fewest logistics functions and simply incur operational costs.

Published: February 2025

The current study investigated the effects of pre-writing techniques, including mind-mapping and outlining on Vietnamese EFL learners’ descriptive paragraph writing at a university in Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Participants include 77 Vietnamese EFL students at Tra Vinh University. Data were collected through a test (pretest and post-test) and a questionnaire with 20 items. Quantitative data were analyzed by using SPSS. The findings showed that the students in experimental group  2 with outline condition had higher post-test scores than those in experimental group 1. Both mind-mapping and outlining achieved significant improvement in terms of grammar, mechanics, content, organization, and vocabulary; however, the development of outline condition is more sharply observed. In addition, the results from the questionnaire administered to two groups showed that students from the two conditions think positively about the role of the pre-writing techniques in their descriptive paragraph writing performance. These insights underscore the significance of employing pre-writing techniques as a valuable tool in enhancing writing skills. Finally, some recommendations for future researchers are also mentioned.

Authors: Tapia-Muñoz Alejandro , Montecillo-Puente Francisco-Javier , Lara-Rivera Agustín
Published: February 2025

This work presents a non-linear feedback control proposal to make
corrections in the position of a 60 kg.cm torque servomotor, utilizing a
high gain observer simulating the application of a servomechanism
adjustment. The use of this type of control allows you to extend your
tuning to minimize errors caused by the presence of disturbances to the
system. The disturbances exposed in this article are modeled by the
presence of an oscillation of a servomotor position. To keep the position
deviation, it is proposed to use a servo with a high gain observer-based
feedback control to correct these disturbances

Published: February 2025

In tropical and subtropical áreas, one of the predominant activities is livestock production, especially extensive
livestock farming, wich bases its diet in grasses and forage. However, these are scarce in the dry season, so the
producer is forced to use other souces of food such agricultural waste, including corn stubble, wich is abundant, but
low in quality and poorly digestible, so the objetive of this study was to evaluate the in situ degradability of the dry
matter of corn stabble Zea mays (Zm),with diets of fruit meal of tree species: Acacia pennatula (Ap) Caesalpinia
coriaria (Cc), Senna atomaria (Sa), Guazuma ulmifolia (Gu) y Zyziphus mexicana (Zm). A proximaly chemical
analysis and fiber fractions were carried out: neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF),
hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin. For the kinetic test a Holstein cow of 600 kg was used, with incubation times of
0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours, where each of the flours from the fruits of the tree species were included. A
completely randomized desing was used, with a divided plot arrangement, the comparison of means was using the
Tukey test (P<0.05). The results indicate a dry matter content of 90.07% and crude protein of 5.35%. Dry matter
digestibility had positive and negative effects with the diets of tree species. It is concluded that the incorporation of

The influence of social media on the construction of adolescent identities: A study from social psychology in multicultural contexts
Authors: García-Ordóñez Omar Alfredo , Cejas-Leyva Luz María , Moreno-De La Herrán Itzel Arcelia , Ledezma-Mercado José Nahúm
Published: February 2025

Objective: This article analyzes the impact of cultural exchange facilitated by social
media on the formation of personal identity among adolescents, with a particular
focus on the context of Sonora, a region bordering the United States and therefore a
multicultural niche. It explores the factors contributing to the development of
identity patterns influenced by both internal social agents (family, school, and local
environment) and external ones (social media and foreign cultures). Through a
qualitative and bibliographic analysis, the study identifies the main risks and
opportunities associated with cultural integration during a critical stage of personal
development, adolescence. The findings suggest that while social media fosters
access to enriching cultural diversity, it can also lead to social cohesion challenges
and identity crises in adolescents, especially when local values and traditions are
undermined. This study offers a reflection on the importance of local cultural
foundations while promoting a balance between global and local identity to avoid
social isolation and foster harmonious coexistence in multicultural contexts.

Authors: Trejo-Torres Zaira Betzabeth , Rodríguez-Uribe Juan Carlos , Benitez-Alonso Margarita
Published: February 2025

Traditional construction faces challenges such as the complexity of
designs, inefficiency in production and waste generation, which has
motivated the search for innovative and sustainable solutions. 3D
printing is positioned as a promising alternative, allowing the creation of
complex structures more quickly and with less environmental impact.
The approach is deductive, analyzing benefits such as production
efficiency, waste reduction, and design flexibility, as well as limitations
related to initial costs and technical requirements. The hypothesis states
that 3D printing can accelerate processes, reduce costs and adapt
constructions to local needs. At a global level, examples in the United
States and Mexico highlight the ability of this technology to reduce time
and optimize resources. In Huichapan, its application will be able to
transform the local sector, offering efficient and sustainable solutions in
a context where accessible housing and adaptation to local materials and
conditions are priorities.

Published: February 2025

Objective: to analyze the main methodological resources of logogenics in order to
reflect on its contribution to the development of language skills in children and
adolescents with prelinguistic hearing impairment. Logogenics, developed by
Bruna Radelli, is a method that facilitates the acquisition of Spanish and other
languages in prelinguistic deaf children and adolescents through reading and
writing. Based on generative grammar, it relies on the innate ability to understand
and produce sentences. The results show that logogeny allows these students to read
and write autonomously, understanding and producing diverse sentences. This
article contributes to a series of reflections on the fact that, although logogenics
does not focus exclusively on the teaching of reading and writing, the latter becomes
an essential means to reflect on language and develop linguistic competences in this
population.
The Confrustion Constellation: A New Way of Looking at Confusion and Frustration
Authors: Baker Ryan Shaun , Cloude Elizabeth Brooke , Andres Juliana , Wei Zhanlan
Published: February 2025

There has been considerable research on confusion and frustration that has treated them as two unitary constructs, distinct from each other. In this article, we argue that there is instead a constellation of different types of confusion and frustration, with different antecedents, manifestations, and impacts, and that the commonalities between many types of confusion and frustration justify thinking of them as part of the same constellation of affect, distinct from other prominent affective categories. We discuss how these types of affect have been considered historically and in key models. We then discuss unusual manifestations of each form of affect that have been documented in the literature, and what light they shed on the broader constructs. We conclude with a discussion of a new theoretical framing that treats confusion and frustration as a confrustion constellation, and the opportunities and open questions that this perspective presents.An updated version is now published in Cognitive Science.Baker, R.S., Cloude, E., Andres, J.M.A.L., Wei, Z.

As muitas polêmicas de Christian Kracht
Authors: Pereira Valéria Sabrina
Published: February 2025

The main characteristic of the avantgarde is rupture, often accompanied by fierce critique and a certain amount of scandal. If there is one figure in contemporary German-language literature whose reception is marked both by great anticipation for his new releases and by sharp reviews and comments on his publications, it is certainly Christian Kracht. Arrogant heir, homophobic and Nazi or questioning, (post-)ironic author and victim of an abusive upbringing? An analysis of what the critics affirm (and what others respond) and how Kracht has been using his own work and his lectures on poetics in 2018 to respond to this criticism may help us understand the interplay that takes place within the literary field, and how it influences the birth of the avantgarde.
DIGITAL INVENTORY OF BIOENERGETIC ASSETS: IMPLEMENTATION OF PRECISION AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: BILA Yuliya
Published: February 2025

Introduction. The digitalization of the economy, the limitation of natural resources, and economic challenges necessitate innovative approaches to the inventory of specific agro-industrial assets. Precision farming has become a vital tool for automated inventory, significantly influencing modern accounting methods. In the context of bioenergy development, where resources depend on the cultivation of energy crops, the accuracy of inventory is critical for effective agro-industrial management. Technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS), GPS navigation, satellite imagery, and drones enable detailed analysis of crop conditions, yield monitoring, and the assessment of available biomass. The use of sensor data and analytical software facilitates the identification of key indicators that form the foundation of objective accounting records.

The purpose of the article is to outline the directions for implementing precision farming technologies in the inventory process of bioenergy assets in agricultural enterprises.

Results. The study identifies the benefits of digitalized inventory for asset management in agricultural enterprises, including automation of operations, integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, continuity of execution, predictive analytics, and reductions in labor costs and routine errors. The main technologies applicable for automated inventory of bioenergy assets include satellite imagery, aerial observation by drones, GIS, soil sensors, GPS technologies, Variable Rate Technology (VRT), robotic systems, and electronic agro-activity maps. The study also highlights the outcomes of digital inventory for bioenergy assets, such as quantitative and qualitative assessment of bioenergy assets, efficient land resource utilization, yield forecasting, harvest planning and logistics, biomass loss reduction, and financial valuation of bioenergy assets.

Conclusions. Precision farming technologies offer significant opportunities for digital inventory of bioenergy assets, enabling a high level of data accuracy and improved management efficiency. Integrating these technologies with accounting software facilitates automation of accounting processes, reducing human error. This ensures cost reduction, improved data quality, and the creation of environmental sustainability in agricultural enterprises. In the future, these approaches will promote bioenergy as a leading area of renewable energy development.

Testosterone deficiency is caused by, among other things, old age, chronic disease, and testicular cancer, which results in decreased bone density. Estrogen plays a more important role in the process of bone growth and resorption than the hormone testosterone. Therefore, to prevent a decrease in density in conditions of testosterone deficiency, it is necessary to administer external phytoestrogens, including tempeh, containing isoflavones deidzein dan genistein. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of administering tempeh extract on the histological structure of the femoral trabeculae of orchidectomized mice. Mice were divided into 4 groups, namely negative control (without orchidectomy), positive control (orchidectomy), and 2 orchidectomy treatment groups, followed by administration of tempe extract at a dose of 0.6 g/ml/day (D1) and 1.2 g/ml/day (D2). Tempeh extract was administered by gavage for 15 days after a 30-day healing period for bilateral orchidectomy. One day after the last administration of tempeh extract, the mice were anesthetized and dissected to remove the femur bones to make preparations using the paraffin method and HE staining. The parameters observed were the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and the thickness of the femoral trabeculae. Giving soybean tempeh extract at a dose of 0.6 mg/ml/day by gavage for 15 days can cause an increase in the number of osteoblasts and trabecular thickness, as well as reducing the number of osteoclasts in the femur of orchidectomized mice.
Physical vapor deposition of polymer thin films
Authors: USUI Hiroaki
Published: February 2025

Physical vapor deposition (PVD) methods for polymer thin films were reviewed with an emphasis on those techniquesthat use energy beams such as UV light, electron beam and ion beam. One class of PVD is direct evaporationof polymer materials, which can produce thin films consisting of small molecular weight. Molecularly orientedthin films can be obtained with this method for some type of polymers. The other class, called vapor-depositionpolymerization involves polymerization reaction in the process of film growth. The vapor-deposition polymerizationcan be achieved either by stepwise reaction, such as polycondensation or polyaddition of coevaporatedmonomers, or by chain reaction through radical polymerization of single monomer species activated by UV light,electron beam, ion beam etc. Typical examples of film formation and applications are reviewed for each process.Also, mentioned is a strategy to covalently tether the interface between the polymer film and the substrate.
Advances and challenges in novel non-perovskite-based ferroelectrics film for memory device applications
Authors: Funakubo Hiroshi , Okamoto Kazuki , Mimura Takanori
Published: February 2025

Thin films of ferroelectric materials have been investigated for various applications because of their high dielectric constants, as well as piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Ferroelectricity has been explored for memory applications because of its two stable states after releasing an electric field, depending on the direction. Perovskite-based ferroelectrics have been studied for the last 30 years for these applications and have already been commercialized. However, the degradation of their ferroelectricity with decreasing film thickness (below 30 nm) makes high-density memory applications difficult. A recent "discovery" of novel ferroelectrics, e.g., fluorite-type structure HfO2-based films and wurtzite structure AlN-, GaN-, and ZnO-based films, have enabled significant reductions in film thickness without noticeable degradation. In this article, we discuss the status and challenges of these novel non-perovskite-based ferroelectric films mainly for memory device applications.

Authors: Abdelilah Hamada , Achraf Bahi , Brahmi Yasser El , Noureddine Njoumi , Abderrahmane Elhjouji , Abdelmounaim Ait Ali
Published: February 2025

Lemmel's syndrome is a rare and often underdiagnosed condition characterized by the compression of the common bile duct by a duodenal diverticulum, leading to the dilation of both intra- and extra-hepatic bile ducts. We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with unexplained bile duct dilation, where imaging studies, including biliary MRI (bili-IRM), revealed a duodenal diverticulum compressing the lower common bile duct. The patient was initially suspected to have obstructive cholangiopathy, but further evaluation through bili-IRM confirmed the diagnosis of Lemmel's syndrome. This case highlights the importance of considering Lemmel's syndrome in patients with unexplained biliary dilation, especially in the absence of identifiable stones or tumors. Timely recognition and differentiation of this rare condition from more common bile duct pathologies are crucial to avoid unnecessary interventions. The case is discussed in the context of its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies.

Orbital location is extremely rare, only a few separate cases have been reported in the literature and are mainly pediatric. In this article, we report the case of an adult patient affected with a locally aggressive desmoid tumor involving the orbit that was unsuccessfully treated with hormonal therapy then by chemotherapy which induced a hematological toxicity before undergoing the ultimate surgical removal followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. The aim of the article is to describe this unusual location for desmoid tumors and outline the challenges in the decision-making process and the therapeutic alternatives. The management of desmoid tumors is mainly based on the function preservation, but in case of symptomatic patients or aggressive course of the disease, the surgical approach must be considered.
Onset of Dermatillomania after Treatment with Methylphenidate in a Child with ADHD: A Case Report
Authors: Bensaid N. Ait , Kisra H.
Published: February 2025

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Dermatillomania, or skin picking disorder, is a behavioral condition often associated with obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Studies have shown that methylphenidate (MPH), a common treatment for ADHD, may induce obsessive-compulsive behaviors, including skin picking. In this report, we describe the case of a 15-year-old patient who developed dermatillomania a few weeks after starting MPH for ADHD. Despite discontinuation of MPH, the symptoms persisted and improved only with the addition of escitalopram, highlighting a potential link between MPH use and the emergence of dermatillomania.

Objective: Sexual crimes are one of the most offensive crimes committed against individuals. Given that individuals from every age and both genders are affected from this action. It appears as a serious problem that threatens society and preventive measures have to be taken against it. It is an undeniable fact that; mental health seriously affected by sexual assaulted or abuse. In this study, we aimed to evaluate forensic psychiatric examination reports of the cases that are send to examine whether or not any permanent psychiatric impairment after sexual assault or abuse.
Methods: Findings from examination of cases which are sent to Department of Forensic Medicine, Medical Faculty of Celal Bayar University between October 2012 and February 2014 for determining permanent psychiatric impairment were evaluated.
Results: Number of examined cases was 55 and number of diagnosed cases was 33. The age range of cases were from 7 to 77 years (SD=20.39±13.17). Of the cases; 57.6% (n=19) were younger than 18, 87.9% (n=29) were women, 63.7% (n=21) were simple sexual assaulted or abused, in the 72.8% offender was known by cases, in the 30.3% (n=10) crime happened at the home of offender or case. As a result of forensic psychiatric evaluation, in the %30.3 of cases (n=10) were detected permanent psychiatric impairment.
Conclusion: Examination of cases has to be performed scrupulously because, permanent psychiatric impairment by sexual crimes, not only negatively affect case his/her social environment but also it is a country's laws punishment-enhancing factor.

Intraduction: The aim of the study is to investigate the protective effect of 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate  on an acute pancreatitis model through an experimental study.
Materials and Methods: 30 Spraque-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into three groups:  Sham ,  Pancreatitis and  Pancreatitis + 2-APB. Pancreatitis was induced by L-arginine administration. The therapeutic agent 2-APB was performed i.v. at a dose of 2 mg/kg 10 min before pancreatitis induction. From blood samples, superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, aspartate aminotransferase , alanine aminotransferase and creatinine levels were measured and the rats were sacrificed subsequently. Tissue samples were evaluated histopathologically. TUNEL staining method was used to visualize apoptotic cells.
Results: 2-APB significantly reduced serum MDA and creatinine levels in pancreatitis + 2-APB group. Unfortunately, SOD levels reduced significantly, too. Edema and hemorrhage in pancreatic tissue were lower, necrosis and fibrosis were higher in the 2-APB administered group. Additionally, in 2-APB given group, it was found that vacuolisation, epithelial desquamation, and congestion reduced in renal tubular epithelial. The number of apoptotic cells did not change in the pancreatic tissue in TUNEL staining.
Conclusions: 2-APB reduces renal damage caused by acute pancreatitis. However, protective effect has not been on pancreatic tissue with 2-APB administered group. Although 2-APB, which was shown to prevent the degradation of kidney functions due to pancreatitis, do not minimize the pancreas tissue damage, it can improve the prognosis of pancreatitis by reducing the damage of distant organs

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease, which can involve liver, lungs, spleen, kidneys, orbita, heart, brain and bone. In case of rupture it can cause anaphylactic reactions, shock and cardiovascular collapse. Cyst hydatid is a very common health problem in our country among 30-50 year-old males therefore it is essential to include it in differential diagnosis idiopathic anaphylactic shock

Published: February 2025

Objective: To present the clinicopathological features of endometrial cancer (EC) patients with isolated liver or lung metastases and to compare the survival differences after diagnosis of recurrent disease.
 
Material and Methods: The clinical and histopathological data of the patients who were treated with a diagnosis of epithelial EC between January 1993 and May 1993 at Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Teaching and Research Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with isolated recurrence in liver (ILR) or lung (IPR) were included in the analysis.
Results: The clinical data of 162 patients with recurrent EC were available. Of these, 21 had IPR and 9 had ILR. Patients with ILR presented with more advanced stage, and omental and adnexal involvement was more common compared to patients with IPR. On the other hand, patients with IPR had higher grade disease. Fifty-seven percent of patients with IPR had grade 3 compared to 11% of grade 3 disease in ILR (p=0.02). The median time to recurrence (TTR) was 18 months (range 1-54) in the whole study population. While the median TTR of patients with IPR was 19 months, the median TTR of patients with ILR was 16 months (p=0.204). Both study groups have similar survival. The 1-year post-recurrence survival of IPR and ILR was 66% and 56% (p=0.129), respectively.
Conclusion: Although, isolated liver and lung metastases are the result of hematogenous spread in EC, clinicopathological features of these two recurrence patterns significantly differ. Clinicians should try to categorize these patients separately to better understand the prognostic outcomes.

Objective: Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening syndrome characterized by muscle necrosis and the release of potentially toxic intracellular muscle constituents into the circulation. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most important complication of rhabdomyolysis and is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality. The main objectives of this study were (1) to characterize the most common etiologies of rhabdomyolysis and (2) to determine the complications and outcomes (rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI, need for renal replacement therapy [RRT] and, 28-day mortality) in our sample. 
Material and Methods: This retrospective, cross sectional, and single-center study was conducted in the ED of university hospital between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013. We analyzed the clinical spectrum and evaluated the complications and outcomes for each patient. 
Results: Forty-three eligible cases were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 52.0±21.9 years (range 16 to 92), and 81.4% were men. The two most common causes of rhabdomyolysis in this sample were trauma and infections (n=16; 37.2% and n=12; 27.9%, respectively). AKI occurred in 23 patients (53.4%), 13 of whom (30.2%) required RRT. All-cause 28-day mortality rate was 44.2% (n=19). The nonsurvival group had significantly increased peak creatinine level, increased phosphate level, and prolonged aPTT (P <.001, P =.003, and P =.001, respectively).
Conclusion: A substantial proportion of patients with rhabdomyolysis developed the complications of AKI and required RRT. Early recognition and aggressive fluid replacement should be considered for ED patients with rhabdomyolysis.
