Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have presented variable findings concerning the reduction of phosphorous level by nicotinamide. This systematic review is aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of nicotinamide in hemodialysis patients and was conducted by adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. Studies for inclusion were identified by running the suitable keywords in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central till June 13, 2018. Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to judge the quality of the included RCTs. The primary outcome was change in serum phosphorus, calcium, and calcium-phosphorus product levels. Change in other biochemical parameters including serum calcium, parathormone, platelets, lipid profile parameters, and the safety profile was considered under secondary outcomes. Review Manager (RevMan v5.3) was used for the risk of bias estimate. A total of 12 articles were qualified for inclusion in this study. All the included RCTs showed a statistically significant reduction in mean serum phosphorous and calcium-phosphorus product levels in the treatment arm as compared to the placebo group. Among several biochemical parameters analyzed, only high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was found to be significantly increased from baseline to the endpoint of the study in the nicotinamide group, while the placebo group showed no significant difference. Flushing and diarrhea, followed by thrombocytopenia, were the most commonly reported adverse events in the treatment group. Nicotinamide was found to be effective in reducing the phosphorous level and calcium-phosphorus product level and increasing the HDL cholesterol level in dialysis patients. The safety profile was found to be satisfactory.

Evaluating Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Pediatric CKD: Correlations with Renal Function and Mineral Metabolism.
Pediatr Rep

Department of Pediatrics, "Victor Babes" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania.
Background: Pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires reliable biomarkers for early detection and monitoring. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has emerged as a potential marker due to its responsiveness to renal impairment and involvement in mineral metabolism.
Objectives: To evaluate serum NGAL levels in pediatric CKD patients and explore correlations with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), ferritin, calcium-phosphorus (Ca*P) product, and total serum protein.

Background And Aim: Recent Mendelian randomization and meta analysis suggest a controversial causality between C3-epimer of 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 (C3-epi-D3) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The clinical evidence regarding the impact of C3-epi-D3 on the progression of T2DM is currently insufficient. This study aims to investigate whether C3-epi-D3 has any effect on metabolic disorders of T2DM patients.

Rice is the staple food for 1/3 of the world's population, but soil pollution with cadmium (Cd) is harmful to rice production and human health. Therefore, how to reduce the Cd content in rice grains is a hot topic worldwide. However, so far, little is known about Cd remediation technologies for paddy soils from the perspective of patents.

Article Synopsis
- - In China, a large number of spent laying hens, primarily around 100 weeks old, are disposed of each year, with their sale becoming an important source of income for the poultry industry.
- - A study conducted on 90 Rhode Island Red hens highlighted that body weight (preferably 1.5 to 2 kg) significantly influences their market price, while dislocations during slaughter adversely affect carcass quality.
- - The research indicated that dislocations, occurring mainly due to external forces during culling, do not correlate with bone health, emphasizing the need for better handling to improve product quality and farmer profits.

Article Synopsis
- Dairy cows undergoing the transitional period are more prone to oxidative stress and diseases like left displacement of the abomasum (LDA).
- The study compared blood biomarker levels between cows with LDA and healthy cows to understand the connections between oxidative stress and metabolic changes.
- Results indicated that cows with LDA had significantly higher levels of various metabolites and oxidative stress indicators, suggesting a link between oxidative stress and the health issues observed in these animals.
