Purpose: To evaluate the sonoelastographic changes in the Achilles tendon in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) using virtual touch imaging quantification (VTIQ) elastography.
Methods: Twenty-six patients undergoing three hemodialysis sessions per week and 26 subjects admitted to our institution between January 2016 and April 2016 were included in this prospective study. The characteristics and body mass index of the patients were noted.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) impact intestinal bacteria in cases of peritoneal fibrosis using Wistar albino rats.
- Twenty-four rats were divided into three groups: a control group receiving saline, a chlorhexidine gluconate (CH) group, and an ESA group receiving CH along with epoetin beta; results showed significant changes in intestinal flora among the groups.
- Findings indicated that ESAs notably altered the intestinal microbial composition and thickened the peritoneum, suggesting that they may influence intestinal movement, leading to these changes.
In this study, the effects of four different drying processes, sun drying (SD), oven drying (OD), vacuum oven drying (VOD) and freeze drying (FD) for tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) in terms of thiolic and phenolic contents have been studied. Thiol content, total phenolic content (TPC), ascorbic acid (AA) content, and cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) were determined in fresh and dried samples. Glutathione (GSH) and cysteine (Cys) were determined as the thiol contents of tomatoes and ginger.

In general, the highest concentration of total phenolics was found in the mash-heated wines, whereas the total flavan-3-ol and total anthocyanin contents in all of the wines, decreased notably during the winemaking and ageing processes. As determined by HPLC, hydroxycinnamic acids were the major phenolic acids in the red wines.

Patients And Methods: Twenty-three elderly patients (>60 years) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5 underwent technetium-99 m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-99m-DTPA) radionuclide measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). To predict GFR, estimation formulas [Cockcroft-Gault (CG), 6-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (6-var-MDRD) and the corrected 24-hour creatinine clearance (24-h CCL) method] were used.
