U-Shaped Association Between Dietary Copper Intake and New-Onset Chronic Kidney Disease: A 30-Year Follow-Up Study From Young Adulthood to Midlife.

Scope: The relationship of dietary copper intake with new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) remained unclear. We aimed to examine the association of dietary copper intake with new-onset CKD in a 30-year follow-up study from young adulthood to midlife.

Methods And Results: A total of 4038 U.

Efficacy of light-transmitting eye shields for wound dressing in preventing pediatric emergence agitation following bilateral strabismus surgeries: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Emergence agitation (EA) occurs in preschool children after ophthalmic surgery as eye shields induce visual disturbance. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of light-transmitting eye shields as an alternative to traditional medical gauze eye shields for wound dressing in terms of EA incidence following strabismus surgery.

Methods: We randomly assigned 70 preschool children undergoing bilateral strabismus surgery to receive either light-transmitting (LT group, n = 35) or medical gauze (MG group, n = 35) eye shields upon the completion of surgery.

Development of a machine learning predictive model for central venous catheter-associated thrombosis in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

Background: Central venous catheters (CVCs) are placed where the vena cava meets the right atrium. Their common use raises the risk of catheter-related thrombosis (CRT), a potentially life-threatening complication.

Aim: This study leverages machine learning to develop a CRT predictive model for abdominal surgery patients, aiming to refine clinical decisions and elevate treatment quality.

Wnt3a Enhances Mesenchymal Stem Cell Engraftment and Differentiation in a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Rat Model.

Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) therapy is a novel approach for treating COPD. However, the difficulty in engraftment and easy clearance of BMSCs in vivo has hindered their clinical application. Hence, exploring effective methods to improve the engraftment and differentiation rates of BMSCs in vivo is urgent.
