Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how a personalized dietary plan affects kidney stone formation (urolithiasis) and related urinary parameters over 3 months in patients with different types of kidney stones.
- - It involved 69 patients with various types of stones and measured changes in urinary components like calcium, oxalate, and uric acid before and after the dietary intervention.
- - Results showed significant reductions in urinary oxalate levels and improvements in crystalluria for some stone types, highlighting the positive impact of diet in managing kidney stones.
Background: Galectin-3 is a new biomarker assumed to reflect fibrogenesis and inflammation. We aimed to investigate the relation of Gal-3 with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction.
Methods: The prospective study enrolled 62 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction who underwent coronary angiography.
Purpose: Brown tumors are rare and severe manifestations of secondary hyperparathyroidism. We propose in this study: to define and illustrate brown tumors observed in our hemodialysis center; to show the frequency for 20 years in our center; to identify risk factors compared to the rest of dialysis patients; and finally to offer improved support for reducing the incidence.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective and descriptive study, over a period of 20 years (1993-2013), including 311 cumulative patients which are chronic hemodialysis in our unit.
