The dialysis membrane based on a hydrophilic polymer (Hydrolink NV) was designed to enhance the movement of adsorbed water at blood–membrane interface, aiming achieve antithrombogenic and antifouling effects. This study aimed assess performance albumin loss Hydrolink NV dialyzer in hemodialysis (HD) post-dilution hemodiafiltration (HDF) with different infusion flows (Qis) compare it FX CorAL HDF. A prospective carried out 20 patients. Patients underwent five sessions same routine parameters:...
Inducing magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) involves locally raising the temperature to 39–45 °C, which increases susceptibility of tumor cells therapeutic agents without damaging healthy tissues. Recent studies on trapezoidal pulsed alternating fields (TP-AMFs) have proven their considerable efficacy in increasing nanoparticles (MNPs) compared sinusoidal fields. Thermal therapies been known incorporate multiple combinations approaches optimize medical procedure for healing cancer patients such as...
Sensing of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) in the hypothalamus modulates energy balance, and its disruption leads to obesity. To date, effects saturated or unsaturated LCFA on hypothalamic-brown adipose tissue (BAT) axis underlying mechanisms have remained largely unclear. Our aim was characterize main molecular pathways involved hypothalamic regulation BAT thermogenesis response with different lengths degrees saturation. One-week administration high-fat diet enriched monounsaturated FA led...
ABSTRACT The SF1 neurons of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) are pivotal in governing body weight and adiposity, particularly response to a high-fat diet (HFD). Previous studies have shown that activation induces satiety, increases energy expenditure, promotes preferential use fats as substrate. Furthermore, necessary for recovering from insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Here we demonstrate essential role nutritional sensor CPT1c by dietary fats. Mice deficient CPT1C (SF1- -KO) unable adjust...
Modern hemodialysis employs weak acids as buffers to prevent bicarbonate precipitation with calcium or magnesium. Acetate, the most used acid, is linked chronic inflammation and poor dialysis tolerance. Citrate has emerged a potential alternative, though its effect on efficiency not clear. This study aims compare efficacy of acetate- citrate-based dialysates, focusing protein-bound uremic toxins doses. single-center prospective crossover includes prevalent patients participating in...
Stroke induces brain injury, especially severe in hypertensive patients, and elevates mortality rates through non-neurological complications. However, the potential effects of a transient ischaemic episode on peripheral vasculature individuals remain unclear. We investigated whether cerebral ischaemia (90 min)/reperfusion (1 or 8 days) alterations mesenteric resistance artery (MRA) properties adult male spontaneously rats (SHR). In addition, we assessed reported cerebroprotective...

Pain is a frequent and disturbing symptom among hemodialysis patients. Protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) are related to cardiovascular overall mortality, they difficult remove with current treatments. The PBUT displacers, such as furosemide, tryptophan, or ibuprofen, may be promising new strategies for improving their clearance. This study aims compare ibuprofen versus other analgesic drugs in removal. A prospective was carried out 23 Patients underwent four dialysis sessions routine...
