Fried potato products are the largest dietary source of acrylamide, a potential carcinogen formed at high temperatures. Previous studies suggested that garlic powder could decrease the development of acrylamide; however, there has not been much focus on the effect of garlic extract. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of garlic extract exposure on the development of acrylamide in French fries in popular home cooking techniques such as pan-frying, air-frying, and oven-frying.

- The study looks at primary FSGS (pFSGS) in Turkey and compares it to trends in other countries, noting that pFSGS cases are rising in the USA but not in Europe or Asia.
- Researchers used data from Turkish patients with confirmed pFSGS, finding that many are men around 40 years old, with most experiencing nephrotic syndrome as the main symptom.
- Key findings show that many patients have specific kidney issues, with differences between males and females in blood pressure and kidney function, while overall cases of pFSGS remain stable in Turkey.
Proton pump inhibitors with calcium acetate on serum phosphorus levels in hemodialysis patients.
Caspian J Intern Med
January 2023
Background: The increase in serum phosphorus level is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with chronic renal failure or undergoing dialysis due to end-stage renal disease. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are the general name given to agents used to suppress stomach acid. In this study, the clinical benefit of using PPIs in addition to drugs used for phosphorus control was investigated.

We aimed to investigate the infection rate among HD outpatients and implement CDC's surveillance system. A multicenter prospective surveillance study is performed to investigate the infection rate among HD patients.

- The study aimed to compare clinical outcomes between peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients who had COVID-19 and a control group of PD patients without COVID-19, as there was limited data on this topic.
- The research involved 223 patients (113 with COVID-19 and 110 controls) and found that while general characteristics were similar, the COVID-19 group had lower serum albumin and hemoglobin levels and more complications like respiratory symptoms and rehospitalization on day 28.
- Over a 90-day period, mortality rates were low (1 death in the COVID-19 group), and although some health issues persisted for patients who had COVID-19, overall mortality did not significantly differ from the control group.
