Uremic and Post-Transplant Gastropathy in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and End-Stage Renal Disease.

Gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal lesions are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and in post-renal transplant period. However, etiology of mucosal lesions pre- and post-transplant is very different. Gastropathy in non-transplant ESRD patients usually develops because of uremia, chronic anemia, and fluctuations in the gastric blood supply during hemodialysis, eventually leading to uremic gastritis.

Effect of Adjuvant Chemotherapy on Left Ventricular Remodeling in Women with Newly Diagnosed Primary Breast Cancer: A Pilot Prospective Longitudinal Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the left ventricular (LV) remodeling response to chemotherapy in low-cardiac-risk women with newly diagnosed nonmetastatic breast cancer. Cardiotoxic effects of chemotherapy are an increasing concern. To effectively interpret cardiac imaging studies performed for screening purposes in patients undergoing cancer therapy it is necessary to understand the normal changes in structure and function that may occur.
