Association of Sleep Problems With Dialysis Shifts in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Introduction According to a 2023 poll by the International Society of Nephrology, 850 million individuals worldwide suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis (HD) is the primary treatment for 69% of the patients with CKD. While HD effectively regulates fluid balance and electrolyte levels, patients often face challenges such as weakness, exhaustion, and cognitive changes, which impact their quality of life. Sleep-related issues, including poor quality, excessive morning sleepiness, insomnia, and restless leg syndrome (RLS), are particularly common among HD patients.

Management of COVID-19-Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) During Pregnancy Following In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is recognized for its heterogeneous clinical presentation, complex pathophysiology, and broad spectrum of manifestations. Obstetric patients have been a subject of considerable interest due to their potential vulnerability to more severe infection and adverse pregnancy outcomes, exemplified by this report of a 43-year-old pregnant female with severe COVID-19 infection and respiratory complications. This case report aims to contribute to the existing scientific knowledge by presenting a detailed clinical profile of a patient with COVID-19 who achieved pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and discussing the management and outcomes of the infection.
