The dynamic effects of nutritional status on chemotherapy-related toxicity in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Eur J Clin Nutr
January 2025
Department of Nutrition and Food Safety, School of Public Health, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China.
Background/objectives: Understanding the dynamic changes in nutritional status of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) during chemotherapy is crucial, as it significantly impacts chemotherapy-related toxicity and survival outcomes.
Subjects/methods: This multi-center study included newly diagnosed NHL patients. Nutritional status and chemotherapy-related toxic effects were assessed over the first five chemotherapy sessions, with follow-ups conducted every 3 months.
Characterization of the immune cell profile in metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Division of Hematology-Oncology, Department of Internal Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Chang Gung University Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated cancer, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown efficacy in its treatment. The combination of chemotherapy and ICIs represents a new trend in the standard care for metastatic NPC. In this study, we aim to clarify the immune cell profile and related prognostic factors in the ICI-based treatment of metastatic NPC.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, HonorHealth, Scottsdale, USA.
Background Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) remains a significant complication following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), affecting 22%-30% of patients. This study evaluates the efficacy of NephroCheck, a biomarker-based test measuring insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2), in predicting postoperative AKI. Methods In this retrospective observational cohort study, 21 patients undergoing isolated CABG were analyzed.

Multiorgan Transplant Program, Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Kidney failure is a prevalent condition with tendency for familial clustering in up to 27% of the affected individuals. Living kidney donor (LKD) transplantation is the optimal treatment option; however, in Canada, more than 45% of LKDs are biologically related to their recipients which subjects recipients to worse graft survival and donors to higher future risk of kidney failure. Although not fully understood, this observation could be partially explained by genetic predisposition to kidney diseases.

December 2025
Division of Nephrology, Department of Internal Medicine, Shin-Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD) have an unparalleled risk of vascular calcification (VC) and high alkaline phosphatase (Alk-P) levels. However, whether VC contributed to the cardiovascular risk modified by serum Alk-P levels was not addressed in the population.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on chronic HD patients, between October 1 and December 31, 2018, with aortic arch calcification (AoAC) scores and serum Alk-P levels.
