Conservative Treatment of Hemorrhoids: Results of an Observational Multicenter Study.

Introduction: This study was conducted to determine the frequency of complaints in a cohort of patients with symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease (HD) treated with micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF, Detralex). MPFF was selected for conservative treatment in this population owing to its proven effects on hemorrhoidal symptoms in a large number of patients.

Methods: This multicenter, non-interventional study was part of the international CHORUS survey (Chronic venous and HemORrhoidal diseases evalUation for improvement of Scientific knowledge), conducted in nine centers in different regions of Russia with the participation of 80 coloproctologists.

A single center, open-label, randomized, parallel group study assessing the relationship between asymptomatic bacteriuria and inflammation in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Introduction: The significance of asymptomatic bacteriuria in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients remains controversial. We hypothesized that the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria as a sole clinical manifestation of urinary tract infection (UTI) in asymptomatic MHD patient may contribute to the chronic inflammatory response. Our aim was to explore the relationship between asymptomatic bacteriuria and elevated levels of inflammatory markers in MHD patients.
