The kidney in hematologic disease. A review.

Int J Pediatr Nephrol

Published: April 1987

The kidney is involved in a variety of systemic diseases and conditions including collagen, endocrine, liver, infectious, neoplastic, and cardiac diseases, as well as pregnancy. Renal involvement in hematologic diseases has not been stressed. In this review we will summarize the role of coagulation in the pathophysiology of renal disease and present renal involvement in sickle cell anemia, hemolytic uremic syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, leukemia, and other less common hematologic diseases.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated already existing stressors within health care. In August 2020, a campus-wide COVID-19 well-being survey indicated high levels of burnout, stress, and mental health concerns among certified nurse practitioners (CNPs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and physician assistants (PAs) within our Department of Medicine.

Purpose: In response to this survey, an interdisciplinary task force was formed by CNPs, CNSs, and PAs across departmental specialty divisions to conduct focus groups to gain a deeper understanding of workplace experience both prepandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Links Ingestion, Homeostasis, and the Heart.

Compr Physiol

February 2025

Physiology and Behavior Laboratory, Department of Health Sciences and Technology, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone released from enteroendocrine cells in the distal small and large intestines in response to nutrients and other stimuli, not only controls eating and insulin release, but is also involved in drinking control as well as renal and cardiovascular functions. Moreover, GLP-1 functions as a central nervous system peptide transmitter, produced by preproglucagon (PPG) neurons in the hindbrain. Intestinal GLP-1 inhibits eating by activating vagal sensory neurons directly, via GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs), but presumably also indirectly, by triggering the release of serotonin from enterochromaffin cells.

Background: Elevated blood pressure (BP) prompts immediate emergency department (ED) visits instead of outpatient care, thus constituting a high-weight concern for the ED. This study investigated the short- and long-term outcomes of high BP patients in the ED.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), reviewing ED visits from January to December 2022.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common urological cancer globally and shows a favorable prognosis in early stages of the tumor progression. Due to the poor prognosis for metastatic RCC patients, it is crucial to explore the molecular biology of RCC progression to establish efficient diagnostic and therapeutic markers for these patients. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical roles in regulation of tumor cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis during RCC progression.
