CE offers a low running cost, short separation time, and a high-resolution technique that requires only a small amount of analyte. It has a wide variety of operation modes (CZE, CEC, CIEF, CITP, CAE, CGE and MEKC) that can be interfaced with MS for tissue and body fluid analysis, particularly urine and cerebrospinal fluid, to identify potential proteomic markers for the clinical diagnosis of many diseases (renal, genitourinary, vascular, diabetes mellitus, cancer, arthritis and neurological diseases) and for the monitoring of their therapeutic intervention. It has become evident that no one marker would be sufficient, but a combination of well-selected markers would be needed for that purpose. The potential of CE coupled to MS for studying the pathophysiology of these diseases and the development of biomarkers has been demonstrated. These biomarkers, when validated, will allow greater use of noninvasive methods for diagnosis of diseases, assessment of their progression, and monitoring individuals' response to therapy.

Background: Aortoiliac disease (AID) is a variant of peripheral artery disease involving the infrarenal aorta and iliac arteries. Similar to other arterial diseases, aortoiliac disease obstructs blood flow through narrowed lumens or by embolization of plaques. AID, when symptomatic, may present with a triad of claudication, impotence, and absence of femoral pulses, a triad also referred as Leriche Syndrome (LS).

Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture.

Itching tends to worsen at night in patients with itchy skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis. Unconscious scratching during sleep can exacerbate symptoms, cause sleep disturbances, or reduce quality of life. Therefore, evaluating nocturnal scratching behaviour is important for better patient care.

Background: Malnutrition is common with esophagogastric cancers and is associated with negative outcomes. We aimed to evaluate if immunonutrition during neoadjuvant treatment improves patient's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and reduces postoperative morbidity and toxicities during neoadjuvant treatment.

Methods: A multicenter double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) was undertaken.
