This sample size is an estimate of the number of patients required in accordance with the pursued study objective. In this context, it is more efficient in terms of both cost and time to use samples than to work with the entire ...

ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...
