Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) presents a significant clinical challenge due to its high fatality rate and limited surgical candidacy. With only 30-40% of patients eligible for surgery upon diagnosis, alternative therapies are imperative. This study assesses the efficacy of Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization for unresectable ICC patients in a non-university tertiary care center (NUTCC).

Objective: Our aim is to review the safety and efficacy of hydroxyurea (HU) on -thalassemia patients.
Methods: Studies that evaluated the safety and efficacy of HU on β-thalassemia patients were searched in Pub-Med, Cochrane Databases, Web of Science, China-Biology-Medicine, CNKI, Embase, VIP, and WanFang data. The proportions of response rate (RR) (50% fall in transfusion need in transfusion-dependent -thalassemia patients, or 1 g/dL elevate in hemoglobin (Hb) levels in transfusion-independent -thalassemia patients) and good RR (transfusion-free in transfusion-dependent -thalassemia patients or 2 g/dL elevate in Hb levels in transfusion-independent β-thalassemia patients) were utilized to evaluate the effect size (ES).

Background: The difference between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated from cystatin C and creatinine (eGFRdiff) serves as a biomarker of kidney function impairment. However, the role of eGFRdiff in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health and its impact on mortality in CKM syndrome patients has not yet been studied.
Methods: This study included 3,622 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2004.
