Background/objectives: Myosteatosis has been associated with sarcopenia, and increased mortality risk in patients on hemodialysis. We aimed to explore the associations between myosteatosis, as assessed by computed tomography (CT), with demographic parameters, body composition metrics, muscle strength, metabolic parameters and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Subjects/methods: We enrolled 216 patients (age 60.
Background: Postural instability is considered a late complication of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, growing evidence shows that balance and gait problems may occur early in the disease.
Objective: To describe balance, gait, and falls/near falls in persons with newly diagnosed, untreated PD ("de novo"), and to compare this with persons with mild-moderate PD (Later PD).
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 3,632 reports, 24 studies with over 60,000 participants showed a significant prevalence of hypokalemia, linked to higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, as well as increased risk of peritonitis.
- * However, the certainty of these findings is low, and the effectiveness of potassium supplementation in these patients remains unclear due to variability across studies.
Article Synopsis
- The Physical Activity Elements and Adverse Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in Guangdong study aims to assess physical activity levels in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD) patients in China, focusing on how these levels relate to adverse health outcomes.
- The study will involve 374 ND-CKD participants using the ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer to measure various aspects of physical activity, including traditional Chinese exercises like tai chi; data will be collected annually for up to 5 years.
- Ethical approval has been secured, with informed consent obtained from all participants, and findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal to share results with the broader medical community.
Mineral bone disease (MBD) is common in dialysis patients. Genetics and the hormonal environment influence the clinical picture and outcomes of women. This study aimed to determine how these factors affect mortality.
