Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become an increasingly important public health disease with a high incidence rate and mortality. Although several studies have explored the effectiveness of resistance exercise in improving the prognosis of CKD patients, the number of studies is still limited and the results are still controversial.
Objectives: We conducted this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) studies to evaluate the effectiveness of resistance exercise on CKD patients.
Purpose: The research on symptom management in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has shifted from separate symptoms to symptom clusters and networks recently. This study aimed to evaluate the unpleasant symptoms of DKD patients, and to investigate how these symptom clusters could affect patients.
Methods: 408 DKD patients were recruited in this cross-sectional study.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates food literacy (FL) in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in China, emphasizing its importance for effective nutrition management to control disease progression.
- - Conducted with 203 patients, findings reveal a mean FL score of 38.75 and identify factors like education, motivation for diet control, satisfaction with dietary behavior, and health information-seeking as significant influences on FL.
- - Improved FL among these patients is necessary, with the study suggesting that healthcare workers should consider these influencing factors in their dietary advice and support.
Background: The impacts of nurse-led disease management programs on the quality of life for patients with chronic kidney disease have not been extensively studied. Furthermore, results of the existing related studies are inconsistent. The focus of the proposed meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy of nurse-led disease management programs in improving the quality of life for patients with chronic kidney disease.

The cell survival rate, apoptosis status, potassium channel currents, intracellular free glutamate concentration and GluR2 expression in PC12 cells exposed to OGD in the absence or presence of TPEN for different time were investigated. The results showed that OGD exposure increased apoptosis, reduced the cell viability (P < 0.
