This article reviews the developments in understanding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prognostic factors, and current treatment standards for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated Acute Kidney Injury (ICI-AKI). It notes that ICI-AKI, frequently presenting as acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, affects 2-5% of patients treated with ICIs. Treatment involves holding ICIs, discontinuing associated drugs, and initiating immunosuppression with corticosteroids.
A professional journal providing continuing education (CE) credits, clinical articles, management advice, and technology reviews focused on evidence-based endodontic principles, optimizing pulp dissolution, complex root canal systems, and new technologies like GentleWave.

Time is ripe to complement the question “what is health and disease?” in philosophy of medicine with a “philosophy of physiology.” Indeed, the actors in this debate share the conviction that a “foundational” concept dictates to this scientific field what is to be considered healthy or pathological and leaves it to explore only facts and mechanisms. Rejecting this presupposition, philosophy of physiology accepts that biomedical sciences explore and redefine their own object: the healthy, the pathological. Indeed, various theories of disease and health, that philosophers have rarely studied, form the core of biomedical research, too hastily considered as a science “without theories.” The Element identifies them, and clarifies their content, presuppositions, and scope.
