Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem, particularly in older age and in those with diabetes mellitus (DM), with high comorbidity and treatment costs.

Study Design: Prospective observational cohort study.

Setting & Participants: 17,979 participants, 22% women with a mean age of 50.0 (SD 8.8), in the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study (CCLS) seen initially between 1971 to 2009 who also received Medicare coverage from 1999 to 2009.

Predictors: Age, body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose levels, current tobacco use, and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Outcomes: Incident CKD and DM were determined from Medicare administrative claims data.

Results: During 116,973person-years of observation, 2022 cases of incident CKD occurred. Multivariable-adjusted proportional hazards models revealed a 24% lower risk of CKD among moderate fit (hazards ratio[HR] 0.76, 95% CI 0.67-0.85 compared to low fit) and a 34% lower risk of CKD among high fit (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.58-0.76 compared to low fit). Even following the development of DM, fitness was associated with lower risk of CKD (HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.89-0.99) per 1-MET increment.

Limitations: Relatively homogeneous population of well-educated Caucasians.

Conclusion: Results of the present study suggest that higher fitness is associated with lower risk of CKD decades later even in at-risk populations such as diabetics. The findings support a role for enhancing fitness through regular physical activity in preventive strategies for CKD including those who may develop DM in later life.

Importance: Treatment to lower high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces incident coronary artery disease (CAD) risk but modestly increases the risk for incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). The extent to which genetic factors across the cholesterol spectrum are associated with incident T2D is not well understood.

Objective: To investigate the association of genetic predisposition to increased LDL-C levels with incident T2D risk.

Int Urol Nephrol

January 2025

Department of Urology, School of Medicine, Shanghai East Hospital, Tongji University, No. 150 Jimo Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai, 200120, China.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive value of Prostate Spherical Volume Ratio for Lower urinary tract symptoms and clinical progression of Benign prostatic hyperplasia. And compared with other prostatic anatomical parameters.

Methods: A total of 154 patients with Benign prostatic hyperplasia who underwent MRI and urodynamics were included in the study, while prostate anatomical parameters such as prostate spherical volume ratio, prostate volume, intravesical prostatic protrusion, prostatic urethral length and presumed circle area ratio were determined based on MRI measurements.

Association of frailty index with incidence of chronic kidney disease: China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.

Eur Geriatr Med

January 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, 710004, Shaanxi, People's Republic of China.

Aim: Frailty is an important risk factor for a wide range of chronic diseases and for mortality risk. This study aims to explore the relationship between frailty and incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly on the change and accumulation of frailty.

Methods: Frailty status was assessed using the frailty index (FI, constructed by 31 items) and categorized as robust, pre-frail, and frail.

Background: Recent studies suggest that duloxetine administration before non-laparoscopic surgery may reduce postoperative pain and analgesic requirement without increasing adverse event occurrence.

Aim: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on preoperative administration of duloxetine versus placebo for postoperative pain relief in adults undergoing laparoscopic surgery, assessing efficacy- and safety-related outcomes.

Method: We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library, covering all records up to July 19, 2024.
