Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease, increasing survival rates and improving quality of life. Diet affects patient weight and well-being, can trigger certain diseases, and influences post-surgery outcomes. The purpose of the study was to investigate dietary strategies in patients with chronic kidney disease, in early and long-term donor kidney recipients, and to formulate specific nutritional recommendations.

Article Synopsis
  • Photodynamic therapy (PDT) effectively targets and destroys cells associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), with a high rate of complete regression observed in both low- and high-squamous intraepithelial lesions among 143 patients studied.* -
  • The study demonstrated significant changes in patients' inflammatory responses post-treatment, including increased white blood cell counts and elevated body temperatures, indicating an immune response triggered by the therapy.* -
  • Acute inflammation resulting from PDT may enhance its antiviral and antitumor effects by activating the immune system and causing changes in local blood flow in the treated areas.*

Cervical cancer is a largely preventable malignancy of the uterine cervix. The tendencies in cervical cancer morbidity and mortality have remained similar for the past decade, albeit with increasing frequency in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Moreover, in the majority of LMICs, cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer and the second most common cause of cancer-related death among reproductive-age women.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the common facilitators and barriers associated with the implementation of hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) across diverse hospital settings in seven countries. Through a two-round Delphi study, insights were gathered from a panel of 15 HTA specialists from France, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, Poland, Switzerland, and Ukraine. Experts initially conducted a comprehensive review of the HB-HTA implementation in their respective countries, identifying the barriers and facilitators through descriptive analysis.

Background: Cervical cancer poses a considerable worldwide health issue, where infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) plays a vital role as a risk factor. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment for HPV-related cervical lesions, which uses photosensitizers and light to selectively destroy abnormal cells.

Objectives: Our objective is to present a comprehensive overview of the different types of molecules employed in PDT to reduce the occurrence and fatality rates associated with cervical cancer.

This study provides an overview of the effectiveness and safety of PDT for the treatment of HPV-associated precancerous cervical conditions and contains recent findings from relevant research studies. A comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Central Library, and Google Scholar was conducted, including analytic epidemiological studies, and 11 papers were included. The narrative synthesis approach was used to summarize the results of the included studies.

Transplantation is the most effective treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease, as this procedure prolongs and improves the patient's quality of life. One of the key problems is the risk of graft rejection. The purpose of this research was to identify and analyse prognostic factors that will prevent rejection.

Knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the spread of cancer at the cellular and molecular levels is expanding rapidly. However, the central regulators governing the initiation and the rate of tumor growth remain poorly established. The fundamental principles of innate and adaptive immunity may explain how immune cells generate a specific response to tumor tissue.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the development and activities of the Hospital-Based Health Technology Assessment (HB-HTA) Unit in the Hospital of the President's Affairs Administration, one of the first examples of the implementation of HB-HTA into the practice of Kazakhstani hospitals.

Methods: Details of the development of the Unit were obtained from the hospital's administrative records. The Unit's own records were used to describe the reports prepared and the clinical areas that were covered.
