Background: Development of PRAKI due to various gestation-related complication leads to poor maternal and foetal outcome. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of PRAKI resulting in CKD, associated factors and feto-maternal outcome.
Methods: In this prospective observational study patients with PRAKI requiring ≥ 1 session of haemodialysis were included and followed up for 6 months to assess renal outcomes.
Novel KIR alleles KIR2DL1*0040135, KIR2DL1*112, KIR2DL1*0040136 and KIR3DL1*0010122, were identified using next-generation sequencing.

- Spirometry is a test used to evaluate lung function by comparing it to normal levels in healthy non-smokers, focusing on metrics like forced vital capacity (FVC) and the FEV/FVC ratio.
- The study analyzed data from over 14,000 participants aged 40 and older across 41 sites, revealing regional differences in FVC tied to factors like age and height, categorized into four regions: Europe/richer countries, Near East, Africa, and Far East.
- Findings showed significant regional variations in FVC values between men and women, particularly in Europe compared to the Far East, but minimal differences in the FEV/FVC ratio across regions.
Article Synopsis
- There is a growing number of cancer cases prompting research into its causes, which has led to new targeted immunotherapy strategies that aim to reduce the negative effects of traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
- Various targeted immunotherapies have been tested for their effectiveness, such as vaccines that use specific tumor-related antigens, checkpoint blockade therapies involving monoclonal antibodies, and adoptive cell transfer methods like CAR-T cell therapies.
- The text reviews recent progress in these targeted immunotherapeutic strategies while also discussing their limitations in treating cancer.
