Long term simulation analysis of deceased donor initiated chains in kidney exchange programs.

Kidney exchange programs (KEPs) aim to find compatible kidneys for recipients with incompatible donors. Patients without a living donor depend upon deceased donor (DD) donations to get a kidney transplant. In India, a ©DD donates kidneys directly to a©DD wait-list.

Targeting Predialysis Glucose up to 180 mg/dl Reduces Glycemic Variability in End Stage Diabetic Nephropathy.

Context: Glycemic variability plays a major role in the development as well as the progression of cardiovascular disease in diabetes.

Aims: We compared the mean plasma glucose and glycemic variability (GV) parameters on and off hemodialysis (HD) in patients with End-Stage Diabetic Nephropathy (ESDN) and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Settings And Design: Cross-sectional study.

A Unified Citywide Dashboard for Allocation and Scheduling Dialysis for COVID-19 Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant global disruption, especially for chronic care like hemodialysis treatments. Approximately 10,000 end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients are receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) at 174 dialysis centers in Greater Mumbai. Because of the fear of transmission of infection and inability to isolate patients in dialysis centers, chronic hemodialysis care was disrupted for COVID-19-infected patients.

An atlas of human metabolism.

Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are valuable tools to study metabolism and provide a scaffold for the integrative analysis of omics data. Researchers have developed increasingly comprehensive human GEMs, but the disconnect among different model sources and versions impedes further progress. We therefore integrated and extensively curated the most recent human metabolic models to construct a consensus GEM, Human1.
