Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
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 ...

Vulnerable Populations

open access: yesJournal of Hospice & Palliative Nursing, 2009
Human grief is a universal experience that scholars and practitioners have been interesting in for years. Despite the numerous studies about the phenomena of grief, there are many aspects of grief that remain vague. Much of the reviewed literature on the phenomena of grief and bereavement is in the psychosocial sciences.

Clinical Effectiveness of Traditional Polyherbal Formulations for Wound Healing: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal
Chronic wounds, especially in diabetic patients, are difficult to manage because of delayed healing and high infection risk. Traditional polyherbal formulations, which are composed of multiple medicinal plants with synergistic effects, are widely used in

An Efficient Gatekeeper Algorithm for Detecting GxE

open access: yesCancer Informatics, 2010
The risk for many complex diseases is believed to be a result of the interactive effects of genetic and environmental factors. Developing efficient techniques to identify gene-environment interactions (GxE) is important for unraveling the etiologic basis

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Impact of Kefir Consumption on Inflammation, Oxidative Stress Status, and Metabolic-Syndrome-Related Parameters in Animal Models: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesFoods
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex condition defined by central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and systemic inflammation. Kefir, a fermented beverage rich in probiotics and beneficial compounds, has emerged as a functional food that may ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.
