Associations between body mass index categories and geriatric assessment tests among older adults with chronic kidney disease: A prospective study

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The optimal body mass index (BMI) among older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in geriatric assessment tests has not been studied. This study investigates the relationship between BMI and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) parameters among older adults with CKD.

Association between serum bicarbonate and low mid‐upper arm circumference in patients with non‐dialysis‐dependent chronic kidney disease: A cross‐sectional study

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although previous experimental studies showed that metabolic acidosis promoted muscle catabolism and impaired protein synthesis, few epidemiological studies reported an independent association between serum bicarbonate levels and muscle atrophy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Risk Analysis Index Outperforms the Modified Frailty Index in Predicting Outcomes in Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In an aging population, patients undergoing thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy are at an increased risk of adverse outcomes; thus, measuring patient frailty is a key metric to assess risk. This study innovatively compares the utility of the Risk Analysis Index (RAI) with the 5‐factor Modified Frailty Index (mFI‐5) in predicting ...

Lipid Nanoparticles Delivering ClpP‐mRNA Suppress Pyroptosis and Senescence in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via mTOR/BNIP3‐Activated Mitophagy

open access: yesRare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a predominant cause of low back pain, significantly impacting quality of life. Mitochondrial fitness is essential in the progression of IDD, as it regulates cellular senescence and pyroptosis. This study investigates the role of mitochondrial caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) in alleviating senescence and

New Hybrid Nanocomposite Films for Optical Diagnostics and Optical Temperature Sensing: Synergy Among α‐Synuclein, Gold and Upconverting Nanoparticles

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Gold and upconverting nanoparticles coated with alpha‐synuclein were exploited to produce a quasi‐monolayer hybrid film. The film was then characterized, and its behaviour as a primary optical nano‐thermometer was studied. The film was also used in a proof‐of‐concept study of image‐based optical nanothermometry exploiting a home‐built up‐conversion ...
