    Abstract

    To review kidney pathology of tropical and nontropical infectious diseases in the pediatric population.We review 4 tropical and 2 nontropical infectious diseases that affect the kidneys of children in terms of their direct and indirect pathogenetic mechanism in inducing kidney damage.We demonstrate clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, kidney pathology, and laboratory diagnostic methods for (1) renal cryptococcosis, which represents involvement of a pure direct pathway; (2) schistosomiasis and dengue fever as examples of dual direct and indirect pathways; and (3) congenital syphilis, visceral leishmaniasis, and Chagas disease, which represent indirect pathways.Infective agents affect the kidneys of children mainly through indirect mechanisms, such as through immunological mechanisms as part of an antigenic response. A direct mechanism of kidney injury, however, is less known within the medical community simply because the direct mechanism is rarely encountered in nontropical countries. In some infectious diseases, both indirect and direct pathways are responsible in inducing 2 sets of morphologically separate kidney lesions.

  • No One Dies Alone: Addressing a Gap in Medical Education JOURNAL OF COMMUNITY HOSPITAL INTERNAL MEDICINE PERSPECTIVES Wang, L., Reisler, J., Mallya, M. 2022; 12 (6): 24-26

    Abstract

    Medical school curriculum typically consists of didactical experiences with minimal patient interaction for junior students followed by clinical experiences with supplementary didactics for senior students. Due to the focus on understanding basic medical concepts and disease pathophysiology during the first few years of medical school, students have limited exposure to real-life clinical situations that involve complex, difficult concepts such as death and dying. This leaves students ill-prepared to contribute meaningfully to patients' end-of-life (EOL) care that they will inevitably encounter during their clerkship years. We believe that students would benefit from increased exposure to these difficult situations through structured educational environments, such as the No One Dies Alone Program. In this way, students can become more familiar with the difficult concepts of death and dying, learn how to make meaningful contributions in their patients' EOL care, and ultimately provide patients with the "good death" they deserve.
