Article Synopsis
  • O-prenylation of 3-aryl-benzopyrans boosts their biological effects, leading to the synthesis of various substituted compounds for testing their abilities to promote bone growth and inhibit cancer cell growth.* -
  • Compounds 21a, 22b, 23c, and 24c exhibited strong osteogenic activity at low concentrations, while certain other compounds showed activity at higher doses.* -
  • Notably, compound 27 showed the highest anticancer activity against breast cancer cells, specifically MDAMB-231, while demonstrating selectivity for non-cancerous cells, indicating potential for targeted cancer treatment.*

Objectives: The primary aim of this study is to determine if patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on peritoneal dialysis (PD) have a higher risk of developing acute pancreatitis (AP) than patients on hemodialysis (HD). The secondary aim is to compare the outcomes of AP between the two groups.

Method: This is a retrospective case-control study.

Background: Hemodialysis (HD)-related lower extremity (LE) muscle cramps are a common cause of morbidity in end-stage renal disease patients on maintenance HD. Numerous pharmacologic and physical measures have been tried with variable success rates.

Methods: Sequential compression devices (SCD) improve venous return (VR) and are commonly used to prevent LE deep venous thrombosis in hospitals.
