Background and objectives Higher fruit vegetable intake is associated with lower cardiovascular all-cause mortality in the general population. It unclear whether this association occurs patients on hemodialysis, whom high generally discouraged because of a potential risk hyperkalemia. We aimed to evaluate between hemodialysis. Design, setting, participants, & measurements Fruit was ascertained by Global Allergy Asthma European Network food frequency questionnaire within Dietary Intake,...
Background and objectives Fatigue is a very common debilitating symptom identified by patients as critically important core outcome to be included in all trials involving receiving hemodialysis. A valid, standardized measure for fatigue needed yield meaningful relevant evidence about this outcome. This study validated patient-reported Design, setting, participants, & measurements longitudinal cohort was conducted assess the validity reliability of new (Standardized Outcomes...
Background Mediterranean and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diets associate with lower cardiovascular all-cause mortality in the general population, but benefits for patients on hemodialysis are uncertain.Methods DASH diet scores were derived from GA2LEN Food Frequency Questionnaire within DIET-HD Study, a multinational cohort study of 9757 adults hemodialysis. We conducted adjusted Cox regression analyses clustered by country evaluate association between score tertiles (the...
Introduction Adults with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) treated haemodialysis experience mortality of between 15% and 20% each year. Effective interventions that improve health outcomes for long-term dialysis patients remain unproven. Novel testable determinants in are needed. Nutrition dietary patterns potential factors influencing other settings warrant exploration multinational studies men women dialysis. We report the protocol “DIETary intake, death hospitalisation adults HaemoDialysis...
The treatment of HTA plays a central part in the management Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) all its stages, especially patients following substitute renal functions. HBP can be both cause and consequence CKD. control CKD represents one most important concerns clinicians. is non pharmacological as well pharmacological.
Patients on hemodialysis suffer from high risk of premature death, which is largely attributed to cardiovascular disease, but interventions targeting traditional factors have made little or no difference. Long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) are putative candidates reduce disease. Diets rich in PUFA recommended the general population, although their role setting uncertain. We evaluated association between dietary intake and mortality for patients.The DIET-HD study a...
As presepsin levels increase with kidney dysfunction (KD), our aim was to establish cutoff points for adapted the level of KD in order avoid bacterial infection overdiagnosis, antibiotic overprescription, and risk resistance. This is a unicenter retrospective study, which included all patients admitted on an emergency basis 2 departments teaching hospital during 2-year interval whom determined at department prior admission. Serum creatinine (sCrt) employed estimate severity using 3...
Uric acid is the end product of endogenous and exogenous purine nucleotides catabolism, serum concentrate being determined by production elimination ratio. Elimination achieved through renal excretion � two thirds- rest digestive way. In most studies, hyperuricemia defined as ] 7 mg/dL uric in men 6 women, guides for gout treatment recommend target value under [1]. According to NHANES ( National Health Nutrition Examination Survey) register, prevalence has increased 3.2% that 1.2% during...
Background and Objectives: Skin cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies. The main goal therapeutic management total excision with prevention recurrence metastasis. quality life patients skin affected by morbidity risk, surgery, cosmetic or functional aspects. aim this study was to evaluate prior post surgical intervention. Material methods: We performed a prospective on 247 tumors. Quality evaluated through an initial questionnaire that given all consenting patients. This...
Integrated Care Settings (ICS) provide a holistic approach to the transition from chronic kidney disease into renal replacement therapy (RRT), offering at least both types of dialysis.To analyze which factors determine type referral, modality provision and dialysis start on final RRT in ICS clinics.Retrospective analysis 626 patients starting 25 clinics Poland, Hungary Romania during 2012. Scheduled initiation with permanent access was considered as planned start.Modality information (80%...
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity plays an important role as a pivotal source of reactive oxygen species. The aim our study was to investigate possible correlations XOR serum levels with oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity - TAC, anti-oxidative responsive 1 antibody OXSR1) and inflammation markers (interleukin 6 IL-6), in 20 hemodialysis diabetic patients. present included the patients group (10 males 10 females) control (20 healthy volunteers). For (ng/mL), TAC (U/mL) OXSR1...
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal (ESRD) patients. Recent population based epidemiological studies demonstrated a correlation between reduced function risk for all causes cardiovascular mortality, 50% patients dying before commencement replacement therapy. Vascular calcifications (VC) arterial stiffness are major contributors to independent predictors ESRD Scarce information available on factors prognosis predialysis with VC. The aim this...
Background and Objectives: The main cause of morbidity mortality in hemodialysis patients is cardiovascular disease, which quite common. objective our study was to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress, inflammation, vascular valvular calcifications patients. Materials Methods: This observational had 54 patients, with an average age 60.46 ± 13.18 years. Cardiovascular ultrasound used detect and/or measure aortic mitral valve calcifications, carotid femoral atheroma plaques,...
Silver is used nowadays in numerous domains, from the manufacture of jewelery to medical field. It has also healing properties being as a wound dressing that creates an aseptic environment. The management using skin grafts often requires hospital admission, period immobility, attentive donor site care and pain control. A prospective study was realized evaluate silver efficacy treating lesions after grafting chronic ulcers. Our evaluation showed good results with accelerated re-epithelialization.
The monitoring and care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) before the dialysis initiation contribute to a better survival rate an improvement in quality life. who do not benefit from good predialysis management have worse short long‑term prognosis. A retrospective, unicentric study was performed evaluate status stage 5 CKD at time renal replacement treatment. total 109 were included study. evaluation clinical manifestations leading hemodialysis initiation, laboratory data when...
Vanadium has been shown to be beneficial in the oral treatment of animal models type 1 and 2 diabetes. The aim study was evaluate short-term effects sodium metavanadate prediabetic BB-DP rats. To do this, 96 rats were divided into 4 equal groups. Groups V1, V2, V3 treated with (0.1, 0.2 0.3 mg/ml respectively) chloride (0.5 mg/ml) drinking water for 7 days. Group C received only mg/ml). Blood glucose (BG), glycosuria, ketonuria, body weight insulinemia determined. age onset diabetes...
Thyroid angiosarcoma (AS) is a specific type of vascular tumor that arises from the endothelial cells, being highly aggressive, with increased recurrence rates and metastasis.It characterized by positive markers co-positive for cytokeratins epithelial membrane antigen.We are describing case 76-year-old patient who presented to hospital dyspnea asthenia.The clinical paraclinical investigations confirmed presence right large thyroid nodule, which turned out at immunostaining AS.Even if AS rare...
Breast implants are nowadays used in breast augmentation and reconstruction. These can have a silicone or saline filling textured smooth surface. Textured been more frequently due to their capacity of impairing moving developing capsular contracture. associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma has correlated with the presence even if pathogenesis is not entirely understood other factors might be involved.
It is already known that Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to various degrees and forms of lung parenchyma damage, but some cases take a strikingly severe course difficult manage. We report the case 62-year old male, non-obese, non-smoker, non-diabetic, who presented with fever, chills, shortness breath.
