Garrett and Braunstein introduced the concept of the "seat belt sign" in motor vehicle collision (MVC) victims. They defined this as abdominal wall bruising from a lap belt. These signs of trauma are not uncommon.

MBPS is considered to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between MBPS, graft function, arterial stiffness and echocardiographic indices in renal transplant recipients.

- - The study investigates the link between COVID-19 and autoimmune thyroid disorders, finding cases of conditions like Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis that developed in patients post-infection.
- - From the reviewed literature, 20 cases were identified; most were middle-aged women, with autoimmunity diagnosed around 7 to 90 days after COVID-19, and many patients achieved remission within three months.
- - The findings suggest that COVID-19 may trigger or worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases, highlighting the need for regular thyroid function assessments in COVID-19 patients, especially those with pre-existing conditions.
Introduction: Protein energy wasting/malnutrition is a strong predictor of morbidity and mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). We aimed to compare the effects of oral and/or intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) support on nutritional and inflammatory parameters in malnourished patients with MHD.
Methods: This is an observational study of 56 malnourished patients on MHD.
Objective: We aimed to analyze the relationship between the effect of total dietary fiber intake on C-reactive protein (CRP) and on oxidative stress parameters such as serum advanced glycation end products (AGEs), superoxide dysmutase (SOD), malondialdehyde, and arterial stiffness by pulse wave velocity (PWv) in maintanace hemodialysis (MHD) patients.
Methods: Among 650 MHD patients, 128 were selected according to inclusion criteria. The dietary survey was performed with a 3-day dietary history.
