Disruptions in cognitive function have been reported in individuals undergoing haemodialysis and those with chronic kidney disease. This pilot study protocol primarily assesses the feasibility and acceptability of using mobile cognitive gaming apps for patient-led cognitive training during haemodialysis sessions. The protocol consists of three phases: (1) reviewing and evaluating available cognitive gaming apps, (2) conducting focus groups/interviews with people with kidney disease to determine app preferences, and (3) undertaking a quasi-experimental randomised controlled trial to compare cognitive outcomes between a patient-led app intervention group and a standard care control group over four months.

Muscle atrophy, an age-related condition, presents a growing healthcare concern within the context of global population aging. While studies have investigated for its potential antifatigue properties, reports on its active components remain limited. This study evaluated the efficacy of mycelium extract on muscle health, utilizing a 1:1 water-ethanol preparation administered to C57BL/6 mice exhibiting acute hind leg atrophy.

Introduction: Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is highly prevalent among patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD), and it has been proposed that oxidative stress (OS) may contribute to its pathogenesis. This study was an attempt to determine the association between the presence of PEW and OS levels in PD patients.
Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study involved 62 clinically stable PD patients aged ≥ 18 years, between September 2017 and July 2018.

Background: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common and serious complication in renal replacement therapy, especially in hospitalized patients. The absence of a standardized definition complicates data synthesis and the development of evidence-based guidelines. Current definitions vary, including different blood pressure thresholds, clinical symptoms, and the need for medical intervention during dialysis.
