Introduction: Longer survival in dialysis led to a higher incidence of vascular access complications and failure. With the limited access to kidney transplantation programs and peritoneal dialysis, exhaustion of vascular access for hemodialysis is an increasingly common situation. Among the available options, atrial tunneled dialysis catheter (ATDC) has been reported as an effective vascular access in this population.

- - The prevalence of diabetes in Tunisia rose significantly from 15.5% in 2016 to 23% in 2023, with a corresponding study examining chronic kidney disease (CKD) among diabetic patients to understand its prevalence based on factors like specialist type and demographic characteristics.
- - An observational study conducted between January and February 2023 included over 10,000 diabetic patients, using KDIGO guidelines to diagnose CKD, focusing on data collected across various healthcare settings in Tunisia.
- - The results indicated that 38.7% of diabetic patients had CKD, with higher rates among males and older patients, as well as those diagnosed by nephrologists. CKD was more prevalent in the Mid-East region of Tunisia
Background: During its course, spondyloarthritis (SpA) may be associated with extra-articular manifestations affecting several organs. Renal involvement is one of the most common extra-articular manifestations and is dominated by secondary amyloidosis (AA), immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, and urolithiasis. Other nephropathies such as Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and hyalinosis (FSGS) are less common and are limited to few case reports.

Like any synthetic product, these are toxic and represent a significant health risk. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition of essential oil and its oxygenated fraction, as well as their in-vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

It is influenced by population demographics and the comprehensiveness of the healthcare system. The aim of this study was to evaluate incidence causes and risk factors associated with hospital readmission within the first year after transplantation.
