The gut microbiota influences the gut-skin-kidney axis, but its role in uremic pruritus remains poorly understood. This study aimed to explore differences microbial profiles between hemodialysis (HD) patients with and without identify potential signatures associated pruritus. We conducted a cross-sectional of HD Stool samples were collected from all participants, composition was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Alpha beta diversity metrics calculated assess diversity. LEfSe analysis...
Quality indicators (QIs) are essential for evaluating healthcare quality, but their validation nondiabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) populations is limited. We aimed to assess the association between QIs and outcomes in CKD patients. Using Taiwan's National Health Insurance claims data death registries, we analyzed 27,842 adults with stage 3B-5 from 2016 2019. Three were assessed: renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor prescription, proteinuria testing, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory...
Abstract Background Psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) phototherapy is associated with an increased risk of nonmelanoma skin cancers may be cutaneous melanoma in White populations. However, data on the safety PUVA non-White populations are scarce. Objective To assess cancer among psoriasis patients receiving phototherapy. Methods We conducted a nationwide Taiwanese cohort study spanning from 2001 to 2018 relation patients. Results Among 13,245 psoriatic patients, was (adjusted hazard ratio...
The safety of ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy with respect to cutaneous carcinogenesis has not been established for patients chronic kidney disease. To investigate this issue, a nationwide cohort study 10,805 advanced disease was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Taiwan, Taiwan Cancer Registry, and national death registry. After median follow-up 75 months, 16 2,161 in UVB group 63 8,644 non-UVB developed skin cancers. Compared group, did show an increased risk cancer...
Abstract Background and Aims The benefits risks of a protein-restricted diet supplemented with ketoanalogues (KA) in patients chronic kidney disease (CKD) are still being explored. Combining KA supplementation may potentially preserve the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) CKD patients. However, concerns about protein-energy wasting nutritional remain uncertain. Previous systematic reviews have often included crossover or non-randomized studies combined data from dialysis patients, introducing...
Background: The rapid growth of platform work has raised concerns about its impacts on conditions and occupational safety health. This study explored the health status location-based workers compared them with those general working population.Methods: We incorporating semi-structured interviews 33 a cross-sectional survey 484 workers. interview part four themes related to work: motives, conditions, work-related issues, assistance desired from government. was conducted assess including...
SummaryThe effect of acute thermal injury on subcutaneous oxidative stress, in anesthetized rats, was evaluated. A microdialysis probe implanted the tissue for continuous sampling interstitial fluids, and microdialysates were injected onto either an on-line or off-line high performance liquid chromatography system. Hydroxyl radicals, glutathione, ascorbic acid concentrations analyzed. Acute induced by skin contact a hot (90°C) iron bar 30 15 s. Subcutaneous hydroxyl radical production,...
The worldwide prevalence of congenital rubella syndrome has drastically decreased after the uptake vaccine to prevent infection. However, outbreaks have occurred in some countries due their own vaccination policies, and this phenomenon not yet been investigated Taiwan. Our study aims fill gap. We constructed an analytical database containing 10,824 pregnant women at Taipei City Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan from January 2004 July 2012. They were categorized into five birth cohorts according...
The effect of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion on left ventricular interstitial 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG), a possible biomarker for in vivo oxidative deoxyribonucleic acid damage, anesthetized rats was investigated. A microdialysis probe implanted. Levels 8-OH-dG microdialysates were analyzed via an on-line high performance liquid chromatography system equipped with electrochemical detector. Myocardial 10 or 20 min, induced by clamping the anterior descending coronary artery, did...
Abstract Background and Aims Uraemic pruritus is a common distressing comorbid disease among patients undergoing haemodialysis (HD). The aetiology of uraemic multifactorial not fully understood. role skin microbiota in chronic inflammatory has long been discussed, but evidence regarding the relationship between Staphylococcus aureus (SA) colonization limited. rate SA nasal carriage HD was more than double that healthy individuals, phage type infection often same as carried patients' nares....
