Effect of bixalomer on coronary artery calcification in hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia: a multi-center, randomized controlled trial

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2019
Background Calcium carbonate is a first-line therapy for hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients but is associated with progressive coronary and aortic calcification. Sevelamer compounds are alternatives to calcium-containing phosphate binders as they

THSD7A Exacerbates Atherosclerosis via Activation of Signaling Axis αvβ3/CEBPD/IL1A

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
THSD7A exerts pro‐inflammatory effects and exacerbates atherosclerosis. Mechanistically, THSD7A regulates endothelial cell inflammation and atherosclerosis by activating the αvβ3/CEBPD/IL1A signaling axis. THSD7A is not only a genetic marker but also a potential therapeutic target for coronary artery disease (CAD).

Impact of Acute Functional Decline on Frailty and Mortality in Acutely Hospitalized Older Persons

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Older persons with acute functional decline are often severely frail. Male sex, cognitive impairment, diabetes mellitus type 2, cancer, hearing impairment, and nursing home living increase the risk of severe frailty or death and should be considered when person‐centered care is planned for hospitalized older people.
