Background: Short-daily haemodialysis (SDH) has been strongly recommended over conventional haemodialysis (CHD) for end-stage kidney disease patients, though few studies have directly compared the effects of these two haemodialysis (HD) modalities on clinical variables related to patient's health.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in individuals undergoing HD, comparing epidemiological, clinical, metabolic, inflammatory, anthropometric, bone health/metabolism, and skeletal muscle function according to dialysis modality. One-hundred seventy-eight patients (20.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the radiological signs in patients with Patau syndrome and semilobar holoprosencephaly, while also exploring how these two conditions relate to each other.
- It presents a case of a female infant diagnosed with trisomy 13 and semilobar holoprosencephaly, characterized by significant brain anomalies that adversely impacted her overall health.
- Patau syndrome, caused by an abnormality on chromosome 13, often results in various developmental issues, including heart, brain, and facial deformities, while holoprosencephaly occurs in a smaller percentage of those affected by this syndrome.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease, more prevalent in the elderly, is considered a public health issue worldwide.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of automated, peritoneal dialysis modalities, intermittent and continuous, on the inflammatory profile of elderly people with chronic kidney disease.
Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional and analytical study carried out in a dialysis clinic in Brasília - Brazil, with 74 elderly people aged 60 years or older.
