Levels of Plasma Endothelin-1, Circulating Endothelial Cells, Endothelial Progenitor Cells, and Cytokines after Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Children with Congenital Heart Disease: Role of Endothelin-1 Regulation.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) can be complicated by pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for corrective surgery may cause endothelial dysfunction, involving endothelin-1 (ET-1), circulating endothelial cells (CECs), and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). These markers can gauge disease severity, but their levels in children's peripheral blood still lack consensus for prognostic value.

[Severe post-COVID-19 dialysis dependence and inpatient acute kidney injury].

Background: COVID-19 challenged our health system, within the broad clinical spectrum acute kidney injury was presented as a catastrophic event, acute kidney injury and the risk of dependency after dialysis constitute a clinical problem with high repercussions in the funcionality.

Objective: To identify risk factors for dialysis dependence after acute kidney injury from COVID-19.

Material And Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was carried out at the Hospital de Especialidades del Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI, of the Mexican Institute of Social Security, from March 2020 to March 2021.

Kidney graft functionality 1 year after kidney transplantation.

Objective: To determine the evolution, associated factors and the outcomes of transplanted people one year after the evolution of a cohort in Mexico.

Method: Kidney transplant cohort from 2013 to 2017 in Mexico. 1118 patients were analyzed.

Change in the Pattern of Posttransplantation Anemia in Kidney Receptors: Sex Role in Recipients and Type of Donor.

Objective: Posttransplant anemia (PTA) in kidney recipients is a complication that has repercussions mainly of cardiovascular consequence. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of anemia, as well as the relationship between kidney recipient and donor sex, in the presence or absence of anemia at 12 months after kidney transplant (KT).

Material And Methods: Observational, longitudinal study of KTs made over a 5-year period, from 2013 to 2017, in a renal transplant unit from La Raza National Health Care Medical Center.

[Holter heart rhythm disorders in patients with acute kidney injury during hemodialysis].

Background: The presence of acute renal injury has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (sudden death and arrhythmias).

Objective: To know the frequency of heart rhythm disorders documented by Holter in patients in need of intermittent hemodialysis due to acute renal injury.

Material And Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted including patients with a diagnosis of acute renal injury who received intermittent hemodialysis; demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected from 28 patients.

Alelos HLA más comunes y asociados con riesgo o protección en enfermedad renal crónica de etiología no determinada.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease accounts for part of overall health expenditure; a potential etiology is related to variations, absence or presence of some human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles.

Method: An analysis of HLA reports of 1965 kidney recipients with no determined etiology, and 1361 kidney donors was performed. It was carried out with Luminex based in cell flow fluorometry for the A, B, DRB1 and DQA loci.

Ablative stereotactic neurosurgery for irreducible neuroaggressive disorder in pediatric patients.

Introduction And Objectives: The irreducible neuroaggressive disorder (IND) is a well-described entity known to be associated with impulsive and aggressive behavior. While various studies have assessed available pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment regimens, patients with IND continue to pose a major threat to themselves and society. While targeted stereotactic therapy for IND has gained traction in recent years, there is a paucity of information describing comparative effectiveness of different validated anatomic regions.

Effects of high-efficiency postdilution online hemodiafiltration and high-flux hemodialysis on serum phosphorus and cardiac structure and function in patients with end-stage renal disease.

Background/aim: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease and has a strong association with hyperphosphatemia. Dialysis is the major treatment tool for attaining serum phosphorus control. Phosphorus removal can be increased with hemodiafiltration.

[Factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension].

Objective: To assess health care characteristics for hypertensive patients and their association with uncontrolled hypertension in a primary care outpatient clinic.

Design: Cross-sectional.A review was conducted of 50% of 8080 (n= 4040) files.

Hindlimb claudication reflects impaired nitric oxide-dependent revascularization after ischemia.

Although vascular remodeling is important in preventing tissue damage and restoring muscle function, there is no evidence of a relationship between vascular remodeling and muscle function after peripheral vascular occlusion. Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in the process of vascular remodeling in hindlimb ischemia. Thus, development of alterations in hindlimb gait after ischemia may be associated with impaired nitric oxide-dependent, vascular blood flow recovery.

[Hyperleptinemia as a risk factor in obesity-related hypertension].

Background And Objective: Obesity is a risk factor for high blood pressure (HBP). However, the mechanism has not been dilucidated yet. High concentrations of leptin (LEP) contributing to an increased blood pressure in obese patients via increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system.
