Interdisciplinary Care for Geriatric Syndromes in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Qualitative Study.

Background: Despite their prevalence, prognostic significance, and prioritization by patients, key geriatric syndromes, such as cognitive impairment, frailty, and depression are not routinely addressed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) care in the United States (US). In an interdisciplinary care model, health professionals with diverse expertise collaborate to address all symptoms and functional impairments occurring alongside a patient's chronic disease. Thus, routinely addressing geriatric syndromes in CKD may require implementing this evidence-based model of care and adapting it to the needs of patients with CKD.

Impact of obesity on doxorubicin pharmacokinetics in women with breast cancer.

IntroductionExperts suggest doxorubicin clearance is decreased in women with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥35 kg/m. However, few data support this recommendation.MethodsWomen receiving doxorubicin for breast cancer in three BMI groups were recruited (n = 15).

Leveraging Electronic Health Record Data to Identify Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) Veteran Participants in the Pride in All Who Served Program.

Background: Pride in All Who Served (PRIDE) is an intervention in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) focused on enhancing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) veterans' access to affirmative care services, social support, and engagement with VHA. Evaluation of PRIDE to date has focused on self-report data, missing critical opportunities to examine the impact of this program on health outcomes and utilization indicators detectable in the electronic health record (EHR).

Objective: This study is the first to: (a) comprehensively identify a sample of LGBTQ+ veterans who attended PRIDE, and (b) describe the sample demographics, health conditions, and health care utilization.

Combined effects of time-restricted eating and exercise on short-term blood glucose management in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The TREx study, a randomised controlled trial.

Aims: Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a chrono-nutrition strategy where the daily 'eating window' is reduced to 8-10 h. We investigated the acute (14-h) effects of TRE, with and without post-meal exercise, on blood glucose and insulin concentrations in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: Fourteen participants (5 F, 9 M; HbA1c: 7.

Evaluation and Management of Chronic Kidney Disease: Synopsis of the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline.

Description: The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) organization updated its existing clinical practice guideline in 2024 to provide guidance on the evaluation, management, and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults and children who are not receiving kidney replacement therapy.

Methods: The KDIGO CKD Guideline Work Group defined the scope of the guideline and determined topics for systematic review. An independent Evidence Review Team systematically reviewed the evidence and graded the certainty of evidence for each of the review topics.
