Objective: To examine the effectiveness of interventions for psychological issues faced by individuals post stroke when initiated in the chronic stage of stroke.
Method: MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Scopus databases were searched from 1980 to July 2012. A study was included if (1) the study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT); (2) at least 50% of individuals in the study were entered into the study at over 6 months post stroke; (3) the study examined the effect of an intervention on psychological functioning; and (4) study participants were ≥ 18 years of age. Similar interventions were grouped and results summarized. Data on the study design, participant characteristics, interventions, outcomes, and adverse events were extracted from each of the selected studies.
Results: Nine RCTs met inclusion criteria. All 9 studies examined effectiveness on mood and 3 on adjustment. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation had the strongest evidence of effectiveness in improving mood followed by pharmacotherapy; whereas exercise appeared to be effective in improving adjustment and coping among individuals in the chronic stage of stroke.
Conclusion: Overall, interventions provided in the chronic stage of stroke appear to be effective in improving mood and adjustment up to 3 months post intervention. The use of multidisciplinary interventions and acceptance models may be important in the overall adjustment process.

Maximal oxygen uptake (VOmax) in healthy subjects is primarily limited by systemic oxygen delivery. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), VOmax is potentially reduced by both central and peripheral factors. We aimed to investigate the effect on VOpeak of adding arm exercise to leg exercise.

Background: Iron deficiency is prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), even in those without anemia. However, the effects of iron deficiency on CKD progression and all-cause mortality in non-dialysis-dependent CKD (NDD-CKD) patients without anemia remain incompletely understood.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective nationwide cohort study included adult patients with non-anemia NDD-CKD from 24 hospitals across China.

Background: The factors influencing diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis renal survival and prognosis remain uncertain. Additionally, there's no literature on the clinical outcomes of IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and IgA vasculitis nephritis in type II patients.
Methods: This study retrospectively examined 107 patients diagnosed with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis through biopsy.

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in lupus nephritis and beyond.
Lupus Sci Med
January 2025
Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Objectives: To study neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels in peripheral blood in SLE, and to propose a mechanism by which neutrophils secrete NGAL on stimulation with immune complexes (IC).
Methods: NGAL was measured by ELISA in two independent Swedish SLE cohorts acting as exploratory and validation cohort (n=124 and n=308, respectively), disease controls (n=38) and healthy controls (n=77). NGAL levels were measured in supernatant from IC-stimulated neutrophils in the presence or absence of a toll-like receptor 8 inhibitor (TLR8i).
