Abstract Chronic pain is a multifactorial condition often accompanied by comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular dysfunction. Traditional injury-based models have provided valuable mechanistic insig...

Abstract Populations residing in high-level natural radiation areas (HLNRA) along the monazite-rich coastal belt of Kerala, India, are chronically exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation, with lifetime cumulative doses ex...

Chronic renal failure is a irreversible deterioration of the renal regulatory mechanisms of the fluid electrolyte balance and metabolic-endocrine functions as a result of reduced glomerular filtration rate. Hemodialysis,...

Both uremia and bioincompatibility of hemodialysis result in a chronic systemic inflammatory syndrome. There is evidence for the activation of monocytes and subsequent release of several proinflammatory cytokines in urem...

Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia in chronic kidney disease patients. When compared to warfarin, new oral anticoagulants are found to be non-inferior or superior in safety and eff...

Chronic pancreatitis is a rare cause of oxalate nephropathy. The aim of this case report was to present a patient hospitalized with acute kidney injury who was diagnosed with oxalate nephropathy and concurrent chronic pa...

OBJECTIVE: Proteinuria is an important marker that accelerates chronic kidney disease. Known antiproteinuric treatments are not always sufficient. In recent years, animal studies have shown that vitamin D has positive ef...

BackgroundChronic low back pain (CLBP), with or without radicular pain (RP), is a major cause of disability and reduced quality of life. Psychological comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, and chronic pain disorder ...

Abstract Growing evidence indicates a crucial role of the gut microbiota in physiological functions. Gut-brain axis imbalance has also been associated with neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Studies have s...

Chronic kidney disease can be defined as chronic and progressive deterioration of the regulation of fluid-solute balance and metabolic-endocrine functions of the kidney due to diminishing glomerular filtration. Inflammat...

Copper is an essential trace element in the human body, extensively involved in key physiological and biochemical processes such as antioxidant defense, energy metabolism, neural signaling, and immune regulation. In rece...

The aim of this study was to determine the levels of sialic acid in the sera of patients with chronic renal failure and the effect of hemodialysis was also investigated. Regarding this aim, total sialic acid levels (TSA)...

Abstract Background A increase in average life expectancy leads us to an older population with multimorbidity. Understanding their self-care needs is essential for a response that promotes self-care with better health ou...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and pattern of common skin diseases in chronic kidney patients under medical treatment, and to determine their relations with chronic kidney disease stagin...

Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased mortality and high cardiovascular (CV) risk. Slow heart rate recovery (HRR) is an index of cardiac autonomic dysfunction and also a prognostic tool for...

L-carnitine (L-C) deficiency seen in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients may contribute to heart failure and arrhythmias, through damaging the myocardial energy metabolism. In this study, the effect of L-C treatment on le...

İn the present study, anti-HCV IgM (EIA, Abbott), HCV-RNA by PCR and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were determined in 30 hemodialysis patients (16 F, 14 M) detected for anti-HCV positivity (ELISA-I1, Abbott) at ...

Objective: This study aimed to compare quality of life and sleep between patients with hemodialysis and patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) who did not receive hemodialysis treatment. Material and Meth...

Objective Patient autonomy has great importance for a valid informed consent in clinical practice. Our objectives were to quantify thedomains of patient autonomy and to evaluate the variables that can affect patient aut...

Scaling Root-Planing (SRP) is a mechanical treatment for removing hard and soft deposits as well as bacteria that adhere to the tooth surface. The additional use of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) can lead to damage of pathog...

Chronic pain affects hundreds of millions worldwide, yet current treatments—from NSAIDs to opioids—fall short and bring unwanted side effects. Neuroinflammation drives bidirectional glial-neuronal communication, a co...

Aim: to systematize data on the clinical, diagnostic, and prognostic significance of pulmonary arterial stiffness (PAS) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to elucidate its pathogenetic role in pulmonary ...

The clinical evolution of patients with chronic Chagas disease (CCD) is mainly associated with an excessive inflammation and a defective immunomodulatory profile caused by the interaction between T. cruzi and the host. R...
