Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and high blood pressure (HBP) are the main risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Relationships between variants within the gene and the presence of environmental risk factors for CKD, such as HBP and hyperglycemia have been suggested; however, their interactions remains unclear. To analyze the association of variants with metabolic and kidney parameters. Six-hundred and fifty-one patients grouped according to the diagnosis of T2DM ( =166), T2DM+HBP ( =348) and HBP ( =137) were included. Metabolic characteristics were evaluated to identify risk factors and presence of CKD. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using two pairs primers for rs35652124 and rs6721961 and by real-time PCR for rs2364723. Logistic regression analyses, adjusted for confounding factors and correction for multiple tests were performed. Significant associations between decreased risk for presenting with CKD and the rs35652124 (A allele) and the rs2364723 (G allele) variants were detected. Other variables consistently associated with these alleles were HBP, BMI, waist circumference, uric acid and triglycerides. Haplotypes AAC and GCG ( rs35652124-rs6721961-rs2364723) showed similar trends. After adjustment for age and sex and correction for multiple tests, only rs35652124 (Odds Ratio [OR] = 0.5; Confidence Interval at 95% (CI95%), 0.3-0.9; = 0.04) and rs2364723 (OR = 0.3; CI95%, 0.1-0.8; = 0.009) variants remained associated with deceased risk for CKD in T2DM patients. This study showed for the first time that variants are associated with decreased risk for CKD in the presence of environmental/metabolic risk factors related to kidney damage, including HBP, hyperuricemia and albuminuria in Mexican patients with diabetes.

A conceptual framework for identifying and managing system vulnerabilities for diversion of controlled substances in healthcare.
Res Social Adm Pharm
January 2025
Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, University of Toronto, 155 College Street, Suite 425, Toronto, Ontario, M5T 3M6, Canada; Research & Innovation, North York General Hospital, 4001 Leslie Street, Toronto, Ontario, M2K 1E1, Canada.
Purpose: Diversion or theft of controlled substances is a recognized problem affecting healthcare systems globally. The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for identifying and characterizing system factors leading to vulnerabilities for diversion within hospitals.
Methods: We applied a qualitative framework method, which involved 1) compiling a list of critical diversion vulnerabilities through observations and proactive risk analyses in the inpatient pharmacy, emergency department and intensive care unit of two Canadian hospitals; 2) coding the vulnerabilities into deductively and inductively derived themes and subthemes; and 3) building a conceptual framework.
Statin Use With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Survival in Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer.
Clin Lung Cancer

Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD; The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, MD.
Objective: To determine the association between concurrent statin use with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and lung cancer-specific and overall mortality in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Materials And Methods: SEER-Medicare was used to conduct a retrospective study of Medicare beneficiaries ≥65 years of age diagnosed with NSCLC between 2007 and 2017 treated with an ICI. Patients were followed from date of first ICI claim until death, 1 month from last ICI claim, or 12/31/2018, whichever came first.

Few studies have analyzed the freedom to choose their renal replacement treatment (RRT) modality in Spain. In a total of 673 patients with ACKD (stage 4 and 5) seen at the outpatient ACKD clinic of Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain) from 2009 to 2020, we retrospectively compared immigrant and Spanish patients in order to analyze the impact of migration on RRT decision-making and its subsequent evolution in advanced CKD (ACKD) consultation and identifies the social and economic needs of this population.

Background: Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive liver disease even after Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE), and the most common cause of liver transplant (LT) in the pediatric population. This study aimed to unveil the risk factors for LT in BA patients post-KPE.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of BA patients in a northern Taiwan Children's Medical Center from Jan 2000 to Oct 2020.
Blood pressure targets, medication considerations and special concerns in elderly hypertension III: Focus on stroke and neurodegenerative disorders.

Department of Neurology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Controlling hypertension has become an important issue in the elderly population in whom neurological comorbidities are highly prevalent. Most of the large-scale trials focusing on hypertension management in older populations have excluded patients with comorbid neurological disorders. However, this population requires special considerations, as the benefits of antihypertensive agents are mostly uncertain and there is a higher risk of adverse events.
