Local heat decreases renal colic pain
Local heat decreases the pain, anxiety, and nausea of renal colic during emergency transport. Family physicians should offer this to patients as a supplement to routine care of renal colic pain, while watching for other studies that assess its use for different kinds of pain and in settings other than emergency transport.

Are diuretics helpful in acute renal failure?
Although widely used to treat acute renal failure, diuretics may actually be harmful.
The results of this observational study demonstrated a higher risk of death and nonrecovery of renal function when diuretics were initiated during the first week of hospitalization. It didn’t matter whether a single or combination diuretic was used.
A randomized controlled trial would better answer this question by minimizing the inherent flaws in an observational study. Although this study doesn’t conclusively prove that diuretics cause poorer outcomes, it certainly raises the possibility and should prompt us to think twice before initiating diuretic therapy for acute renal failure.
