Background: Dietary fiber (DF) intake may have a protective effect against type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, its relationship with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains unclear.
Aim: To investigate the potential association between DF intake and the prevalence of DKD in individuals diagnosed with T2D.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey collected between 2005 and 2018.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the risk factors for challenging radial artery cannulation in adult surgical patients, aiming to enhance preoperative decision-making and reduce complications.
- A total of 530 patients were analyzed through a cohort study, identifying significant factors like wrist circumference, anatomical anomalies, and certain health conditions that affect cannulation difficulty.
- The resulting predictive nomogram demonstrated reliable indicators for assessing the risk of difficult cannulation, with strong validation results showing good predictive accuracy.
Purpose: Bladder spasm (BS) and catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) are complications after transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). The pudendal nerve (PN) innervates the perineum. Therefore, we evaluated whether PN block (PNB) can reduce the incidence of BS and CRBD in patients undergoing HoLEP.
