    Les tumeurs de Krukenberg (TK) se définissent comme des métastases ovariennes d'un cancer, le plus souvent digestif. Elles représentent 5 à 15% des tumeurs malignes ovariennes. Notre objectif était de décrire les caractéristiques épidémiologiques, diagnostiques, thérapeutiques et évolutives.Nous rapportons deux observations de tumeur de Krukenberg découvertes à l'occasion de l'exploration d'une ascite fébrile.Il s'agit de deux patientes multipares âgées respectivement de 32 ans et 50 ans. Les signes d'appel étaient essentiellement digestifs. La découverte de ces métastases ovariennes était survenue à distance des foyers primitifs. L'atteinte des ovaires était bilatérale dans le premier cas et unilatérale droite dans le second cas. Le diagnostic est apporté par la tomodensitométrie abdominopelvienne dans les deux cas. La fibroscopie oesogastroduodénale avait permis de retrouver le foyer primitif respectivement sous forme d'un processus bourgeonnant et d'un ulcère en position antrale avec des stigmates d'hémorragies. L'examen anatomopathologique des biopsies réalisées mettait en évidence un adénocarcinome tubuleux moyennement différencié de l'estomac avec composante mucineuse dans la première observation et un  dénocarcinome de type intestinal moyennement différencié dans la seconde. Le traitement chirurgical confirme le diagnostic histologique. Dans notre série, le traitement n'a pu être que symptomatique en raison de l'existence constante d'une carcinose péritonéale et de l'altération profonde de l'état général. Les deux patientes ont été confiées à l'institut de cancérologie pour une chimiothérapie palliative. La première est décédée 1 mois après. La tumeur de Krukenberg est une maladie rare. Le diagnostic est facilité par la radiologie et confirmé par l'histologie. Son pronostic demeure encore très sombre. Le seul espoir réside dans les mesures préventives

    EPIdemiology of Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury (EPIS-AKI) : Study protocol for a multicentre, observational trial

    More than 300 million surgical procedures are performed each year. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after major surgery and is associated with adverse short-term and long-term outcomes. However, there is a large variation in the incidence of reported AKI rates. The establishment of an accurate epidemiology of surgery-associated AKI is important for healthcare policy, quality initiatives, clinical trials, as well as for improving guidelines. The objective of the Epidemiology of Surgery-associated Acute Kidney Injury (EPIS-AKI) trial is to prospectively evaluate the epidemiology of AKI after major surgery using the latest Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) consensus definition of AKI. EPIS-AKI is an international prospective, observational, multicentre cohort study including 10 000 patients undergoing major surgery who are subsequently admitted to the ICU or a similar high dependency unit. The primary endpoint is the incidence of AKI within 72 hours after surgery according to the KDIGO criteria. Secondary endpoints include use of renal replacement therapy (RRT), mortality during ICU and hospital stay, length of ICU and hospital stay and major adverse kidney events (combined endpoint consisting of persistent renal dysfunction, RRT and mortality) at day 90. Further, we will evaluate preoperative and intraoperative risk factors affecting the incidence of postoperative AKI. In an add-on analysis, we will assess urinary biomarkers for early detection of AKI. EPIS-AKI has been approved by the leading Ethics Committee of the Medical Council North Rhine-Westphalia, of the Westphalian Wilhelms-University Münster and the corresponding Ethics Committee at each participating site. Results will be disseminated widely and published in peer-reviewed journals, presented at conferences and used to design further AKI-related trials. Trial registration number NCT04165369

    Cyst infection is a severe complication of renal and hepatic cystic disease that frequently leads to hospitalization. In most cases the diagnosis of cyst infection is made empirically as a cyst aspirate is frequently unavailable. This study aims to evaluate diagnostic criteria, microbiological findings and imaging modalities needed to diagnose cyst infection. In order to do so, we evaluated reports that characterize cyst infection cases published in the English language between 1948 and January 2014. We identified 70 articles documenting a total of 215 cyst infection cases (renal n = 119; hepatic n = 96). Six studies, including 74 cases of renal and 61 cases of hepatic cyst infection, used diagnostic criteria. The criteria that led to a definite cyst infection diagnosis were consistent, whereas criteria for a 'probable diagnosis' varied considerably. Cyst infection cases commonly have abdominal pain, fever and elevated serum inflammatory markers. Urine and blood cultures frequently remained negative, even in definite cases. The diagnostic properties of (18)fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) are probably best to diagnose cyst infection. Cyst aspirate indicating infection is currently the gold standard in diagnosing cyst infection. If not available, a combination of clinical and biochemical parameters is necessary to make a well-considered diagnosis, preferably including (18)F-FDG PET/CT
