ABSTRACT Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at higher risk of severe COVID‐19 and may exhibit suboptimal vaccine responses. This study evaluates the factors influencing vaccine‐induced immunity in HD patients following the second dose of the Vaxzevria. A total of 276 HD patients and 126 controls were included. Antibody responses were assessed using binding

A battery-less implantable glucose sensor based on electrical impedance spectroscopy
The ability to perform accurate continuous glucose monitoring without blood sampling has revolutionised the management of diabetes. Newer methods that can allow measurements during longer periods are necessary to substantially improve patients’ quality ...

Abstract Background Early diagnosis of malnutrition is essential for rapid decision‐making regarding nutrition care to improve patient outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and to assess the association of GLIM with 1‐year mortality and length of hospital ...

Abstract Introduction Peritoneal solute transfer rates (PSTR) are reported to increase with time. Changes in PSTR were reviewed in long‐term peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients to determine whether lower glucose degradation products (low GDP) dialysates prevented an increase in PSTR. Methods PSTR was determined with a 4‐h peritoneal equilibrium test with

Abstract Aims Obesity, systemic inflammation, and hyperinsulinemia are all features of metabolic syndrome and frequently occur together. We aimed to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with incident non‐communicable chronic disease (NCD) or all‐cause mortality, independent of C‐reactive protein (CRP) and fasting insulin.

Bioimpedance measurement: a non-invasive diagnosis of limb compartment syndrome
IntroductionThe methods for diagnosing compartment syndrome non-invasively remain under debate. Bioimpedance measurements offer a promising avenue in clinical practice, detecting subtle changes in organ impedance due to volume shifts. This study explores

ABSTRACT Introduction Weight loss results in reduced energy expenditure (EE) due to body composition alterations (e.g., fat‐free mass and fat mass losses) and mass‐independent adaptations in EE (e.g., hormones). Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RA) are indicated for obesity management; however, their effects on EE remain unclear ...

Abstract Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of fibrotic interstitial lung disease arising from pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanical and cardio‐circulatory abnormalities. More recently, it has been recognized that impairment in locomotor muscle function (e.g., reduced muscle mass/strength or heightened fatigability) might also play a ...

Abstract Carbohydrate supplementation optimises athletic performance, but the metabolic and performance impacts of commercial products/compositions are underexplored. We compared the efficacy of three commercial carbohydrate supplements: a glucose–fructose bar (GF‐Bar), a glucose–fructose hydrogel (GF‐Gel) and a maltodextrin‐based gel (MD‐Gel ...
