Objective: Patients with end-stage renal disease have multiple comorbidities and are at increased risk for postoperative complications and resource utilization. Our goal was to determine the rate and causes of 30-day and 90-day hospital readmissions after the creation of outpatient hemodialysis access.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all outpatient upper extremity hemodialysis access creations performed at our medical center from 2008 to 2015.
Objective: Thirty-day readmission is increasingly used as a quality of care indicator. Patients undergoing vascular surgery have historically been at high risk for readmission. We analyzed hospital readmission details to identify patients at high risk for readmission in order to better understand these readmissions and improve resource utilization in this patient population.

- * The study investigates how microRNAs (miRNAs) influence the levels of these autoantigens, using bioinformatics to identify potential miRNAs and various experimental methods to confirm their regulatory effects in mouse islet cells.
- * Results show that specific miRNAs from the 14q32 cluster can modulate the mRNA levels of T1D autoantigens, highlighting the role of miRNAs in regulating the expression of these proteins associated with the disease.*
