We describe the MRI findings of bilateral ovarian theca lutein cysts in a pregnant patient with chronic renal failure. The recognition that pregnancy in chronic renal failure may result in theca lutein cysts, presumably due to excessive serum beta human chorionic gonadotropins (hCGs) secondary to impaired renal excretion, expands the differential diagnosis for this MRI appearance, in addition to the usual considerations of gestational trophoblastic disease, multiple gestation, and ovarian hyperstimulation.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant public health challenge, with rates consistently on the rise. Enhancing kidney function prediction could contribute to the early detection, prevention, and management of CKD in clinical practice. We aimed to investigate whether deep learning techniques, especially those suitable for processing missing values, can improve the accuracy of predicting future renal function compared to traditional statistical method, using the Japan Chronic Kidney Disease Database (J-CKD-DB), a nationwide multicenter CKD registry.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic health problem whose prevalence is increasing. Nutrition and nutrition-related factors, one of the modifiable risk factors for CKD, are of primary importance. The key to planning optimal nutritional therapy is accurately determining energy requirements and total energy expenditure.

Disrupted feeding and fasting cycles as well as chronic high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity are associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors. We designed studies that determined whether two weeks of time-restricted feeding (TRF) intervention in mice fed a chronic HFD would reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors. Mice were fed a normal diet (ND; 10% fat) ad libitum or HFD (45% fat) for 18 weeks ad libitum to establish diet-induced obesity.

Introduction: Bone turnover markers reflected the bone remodeling process and bone health in clinical studies. Studies on variation of bone remodeling markers in different stage CKD were scant, and this study investigated the role of bedside intradialytic cycling in altering concentrations of bone-remodeling markers in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Materials And Methods: Participants were segmented into four groups: a group with eGFR >60 ml/min/1.

Introduction: This study focuses on the association between musculoskeletal disorders and chronic kidney disease (CKD), specifically end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Its primary objective is to explore the spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders and to identify their prevalence rates and symptoms within diverse CKD subpopulations.
Materials And Methods: The screening process yielded 13 studies conducted in various countries and regions.
