Renal Function in Receptors With Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant From the Same Donor.

Unlabelled: Controversy surrounds the suitability of simultaneous liver-kidney transplant (SLKT) when compared with sequential transplant. Pretransplant renal failure is a post-transplant mortality predictor, and studies demonstrate worse functioning and lower survival of the renal graft when compared with kidney transplant alone (KTA).

Background: This study compares renal function in patients with SLKT and those who received the contralateral kidney from the same donor.

Impact of socioeconomic and health-related factors on consumption of homeopathic and natural remedies in Spain in 2006, 2011 and 2017.

Objective: Complementary and alternative medicine use and type of use may be influenced by sociodemographic and economic determinants through which we could identify characteristics of patients with greater trend to use it. This paper aims to describe the changes in the consumption of homeopathic and natural remedies in Spain for three time points in order to discern changes in rate of consumption, associated factors and whether their use has been affected by a period of economic recession.

Methods: This study utilized 2006, 2011 and 2017 cross-sectional data from the Spanish National Health Survey, a nationally representative survey of the population aged more than 15 years old and resident in Spain.
