Factors Associated With Erectile Dysfunction in Men: A Cross-Sectional Study From Balochistan, Pakistan.
Cureus
January 2025
Department of Physiology, University of Sindh, Jamshoro, PAK.
Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) in men is overlooked and is often linked with psychogenic causes. Due to cultural barriers, this area of research remains neglected.
Objective: The study was conducted to determine the factors that can be associated with ED in otherwise apparently healthy men.
Donor-derived cell-free DNA in chronic lung allograft dysfunction phenotypes: a pilot study.

Long-term survival after lung transplantation is limited due to chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), which encompasses two main phenotypes: bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS). Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is a biomarker for (sub)clinical allograft injury and could be a tool for monitoring of lung allograft health across the (pre)clinical spectrum of CLAD. In this proof-of-concept study, we therefore assessed post-transplant plasma dd-cfDNA levels in 20 CLAD patients (11 BOS and 9 RAS) at three consecutive time points free from concurrent infection or acute rejection, during stable condition, preclinical CLAD, and established CLAD ( = 3 × 20 samples).

January 2025
Department of Nephrology, Blood Purification Research Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, Fujian, China.
Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have increased insulin resistance (IR). The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is a marker of IR and is associated with the prognosis of patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the TyG index and the risk of death in patients on MHD.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients often suffer from complications such as anemia as the kidney function declines. More than 25% of CKD hemodialysis patients in China are complicated with renal anemia due to renal and hepatic impairment in the production of erythropoietin (EPO). In recent years, prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) inhibitors have been approved in China and Japan for the treatment of CKD patients complicated with anemia.

Air pollution, particularly fine particulate matter (PM2.5), is a global health issue affecting millions. In southern Chile, firewood used for heating exacerbates pollution, especially in winter.
