Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major risk factor for valvular heart (VHD). Mitral annular and aortic valve calcifications are highly prevalent in CKD patients commonly lead to stenosis regurgitation, as well complications including conduction system abnormalities endocarditis. VHD, especially mitral regurgitation stenosis, associated with significantly reduced survival among patients. Knowledge related VHD the general population not always applicable because pathophysiology may be...
Denosumab is widely used for bone diseases with increased resorption. Its effectiveness in patients severe secondary hyperparathyroidism on dialysis unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of denosumab who are dialysis. 6-month prospective, open-labeled evaluated 12 (five women, seven men; mean age 53.5±3.8 y). All had intact PTH (iPTH; > 1000 pg/mL), low mass (T-score < −1.0 SD), pain were poor surgical candidates. Serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (AP),...
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) may worsen with administration of denosumab in chronic renal failure patients low bone mass.This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effect coadministration calcitriol and on PTH secretion parathyroid structure incidence adverse effects SHPT was a 24-week, open-label at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital Kaohsiung, Taiwan.Dialysis (intact hormone [iPTH] > 800 pg/mL) mass (T score < -2.5) were enrolled.Patients received (60 mg) doses adjusted achieve...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common age-related neurodegenerative diseases, and neuroinflammation has been identified as its key pathological characteristics. Triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) amplify inflammatory response play a role in sepsis cancer. Recent studies have demonstrated that attenuation TREM-1 activity produces cytoprotective anti-inflammatory effects macrophages. However, no study examined neurodegeneration. We showed LP17, synthetic...
Falling is a serious issue among elderly community dwellers, often resulting in disability. We aimed to investigate the risk factors for falls dwellers.We recruited 232 participants from multiple learning and care centers, who provided their information through questionnaires. They were divided into two groups, according falling events after 1-year follow-up. Univariate multivariate logistic regressions used statistical analysis.A total of 64 reported fall at The group comprised older single...
The induction of hepatic alpha 2u-globulin synthesis by glucocorticoids in isolated hepatocytes occurs via an increase the level its mRNA as measured cell-free translation and hydbridization to cDNA probe. To explore whether this is a direct or indirect consequence interaction dexamethasone-receptor complex with genome, requirement for ongoing protein was examined. Concentrations cycloheximide too low prevent precursor incorporation into total poly(A)-containing RNA do hormonal mRNA....
Summary Objective Secondary hyperparathyroidism and its associated abnormalities in mineral metabolism haemodynamic changes increase the cardiovascular risk patients with end‐stage renal disease ( ESRD ). Our objective was to determine association of parathyroidectomy PTX ) major events nondiabetic dialysis severe secondary SHPTH Design Patients We performed a cohort study fifty‐three who were treated maintenance haemodialysis had intact parathyroid hormone PTH levels > 800 pg/ml....
Hyperkalemia increases the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in hemodialysis patients. Our objective was to determine association between administering low potassium dialysate hyperkalemic patients and SCD.We conducted a retrospective cohort study with undergoing maintenance from May 1, 2006, through December 31, 2013. The composition adjusted over time according monthly laboratory results. A 1.0 mEq/L applied predialysis hyperkalemia (>5.5 mEq/L) included as time-dependent confounding...
