An analysis of the results of chronic hemodialysis on central systems and individual apparatuses in 20 patients with the terminal stage of renal insufficiency was performed. It was established that the use of chemically pure water, disposable systems and dialyzers for hemodialysis ensured a decrease in the number of complications and improved the patients' rehabilitation. Bicarbonate hemodialysis proved to be a highly effective method for the treatment of patients with sodium acetate intolerance, decompensated metabolic acidosis and low arterial pressure. A single-needle approach to the patient's vascular system provided for a less marked decrease in uremic toxins, however statistically significant differences were undetectable as compared to the common methods.

Comparison between monotest and traditional batch-based ELISA assays for therapeutic drug monitoring of infliximab and adalimumab levels and anti-drug antibodies.
Clin Chem Lab Med
January 2025
Product Development and Support, Progenika Biopharma, SA, Derio, Spain.
Objectives: To compare a new ready-to-use monotest immunoassay, CHORUS Promonitor, for the quantification of serum biological drug levels and anti-drug antibodies of anti-TNF agents, against the reference batch-based ELISA test, Promonitor.
Methods: Blood samples were collected from patients treated with anti-TNF agents, infliximab (IFX) or adalimumab (ADL). IFX and ADL levels, as well as anti-IFX and anti-ADL antibodies were quantified and compared between the standard ELISA reference test, Promonitor, and the automated monotest ELISA assay, CHORUS Promonitor.

Objective: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a significant global health burden, characterized by the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries. Treatment decisions are often guided by angiography-based scoring systems, such as the Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) and Gensini scores, although these require invasive procedures. This study explores the potential of electrocardiography (ECG) as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for predicting CAD severity, alongside traditional risk factors.

Aim: Ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) is an established surgical treatment for rectal prolapse and outlet obstruction. In contrast to continental Europe, in the UK and US the use of synthetic mesh has been abandoned in favour of biologic mesh, due to concerns regarding mesh related morbidity. The current study investigated if either material is superior, in terms of clinical recurrence and mesh related complications.

The efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been established, but the efficacy and safety of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) and pulsed field ablation (PFA) remain unclear. This retrospective cohort study included 223 patients with paroxysmal non-valvular AF and HFpEF who underwent their first AF ablation between January 2017 and December 2021 and were divided into RFA (n = 77), CBA (n = 127), and PFA (n = 19) groups. After a mean follow-up of 11.
