Article Synopsis
- The study examines the medication trends in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Taiwan from 2000 to 2018, focusing on those approaching end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
- Researchers found that the use of erythropoietin significantly increased while blood transfusions decreased, indicating improved treatment strategies for anemia.
- Notably, blood pressure and glucose management showed a shift towards more effective medications, suggesting a positive impact of CKD prevention programs on patient care quality.
The synchronous existence of two different tumors in the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon. We report the case of a 75-year-old man who had a concurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumor and adenocarcinoma at the gastroesophageal junction. The two tumors arose at the same site but had distinct morphologies.

The Fe3O4/SiO2(Ir) nanocomposite demonstrates its versatility in various applications: the magnetic core provides the capability for magnetic resonance imaging and the great enhancement of the spin-orbit coupling in the iridium complex makes it well suited for phosphorescent labeling and simultaneous singlet oxygen generation to induce apoptosis.

As the size (diameter) of the quantum dots increases, the TPA cross section is found to be empirically related via a power-law proportionality of 3.5+/-0.
