AI Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how hemodialysis affects the oxygen-binding ability of hemoglobin (measured by p50) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and explores the relationship between p50 and various blood parameters.
- - A total of 180 CKD patients were analyzed, dividing them into hemodialysis (HD) and non-hemodialysis (non-HD) groups, finding that HD patients required higher doses of erythropoietin but had similar hemoglobin levels compared to non-HD patients.
- - Results indicated that non-HD patients experienced more severe metabolic acidosis and lower blood pH, while p50 values differed significantly between the two groups, suggesting a potential impact of dialysis on oxygen delivery
Article Abstract
: The ability of hemoglobin to bind and dissociate oxygen is crucial in delivering oxygen to tissues and is influenced by a range of physiological states, compensatory mechanisms, and pathological conditions. This may be illustrated by the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC). The key parameter for evaluating the oxygen affinity to hemoglobin is p50. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of hemodialysis on p50 in a group of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). An additional goal was to assess the correlation between p50 and the parameters of erythropoiesis, point-of-care testing (POCT), and other laboratory parameters. : One hundred and eighty patients (106 male, 74 female), mean age 62.5 ± 17 years, with CKD stage G4 and G5 were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Patients were divided into two groups, including 65 hemodialysis (HD) patients and 115 patients not receiving dialysis (non-HD). During the standard procedure of arteriovenous fistula creation, blood samples from the artery (A) and the vein (V) were taken for POCT. The causes of CKD, as well as demographic and comorbidity data, were obtained from medical records and direct interviews. : The weekly dose of erythropoietin was higher in HD patients than in non-HD patients (4914 ± 2253 UI vs. 403 ± 798 UI, < 0.01), but hemoglobin levels did not differ between these groups. In the group of non-HD patients, more advanced metabolic acidosis (MA) was found, compared to the group with HD. In arterial and venosus blood samples, the non-HD group had significantly lower pH, pCO and HCO. This group had a higher proportion of individuals with MA with HCO < 22 mmol/L (42% vs. 24%, < 0.01). The absolute difference of p50 in arterial and venous blood was determined using the formula Δp50 = (p50-A) - (p50-V). Δp50 was significantly higher in the HD group in comparison to non-HD (0.08 ± 2.05 mmHg vs. -0.66 ± 1.93 mmHg, = 0,02). There was a negative correlation between pH and the p50 value in arterial (pH-A vs. p50-A, r = -0.56, < 0.01) and venous blood (pH-V vs. p50-V, r = -0.45, < 0.01). In non-HD patients, hemoglobin levels correlated negatively with p50 (r = -0.29, < 0.01), whereas no significant relation was found in HD patients. : The ODC in pre-dialysis CKD (non-HD) patients is shifted to the right due to MA, and this is an additional factor influencing erythropoiesis. Hemodialysis restores the natural differences in hemoglobin's dissociation characteristics in the arterial and venous circulation.

Effect of hemodynamic suppression on cognitive function in patients after carotid artery stenting.
Int Angiol

Department of Vascular Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China -
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed how carotid artery stenting (CAS) affects cognitive function in stroke patients, focusing on those experiencing hemodynamic depression (HD).
- - Out of 130 patients, 51.54% experienced HD, and those in the HD group showed significant declines in cognitive scores (MMSE and MoCA) compared to those without HD at multiple follow-up times.
- - Patients without HD tended to see improvements in their cognitive scores post-surgery, while those with HD faced greater challenges, highlighting the need for attention to HD prevention to support better recovery outcomes.
Huntingtin CAG repeat size variations below the Huntington's disease threshold: associations with depression, anxiety and basal ganglia structure.

Huntington's disease (HD) is strongly associated with psychiatric symptoms, yet, associations between huntingtin gene (HTT) CAG repeat size variations and psychiatric phenotypes outside the HD complex are still under-investigated. In this genetic case-control study we compared the distribution of HTT CAG repeat sizes in predefined ranges between patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) (n = 2136) and anxiety disorders (ANX) (n = 493), and healthy controls (CON) (n = 1566). We used regression models to study interactions between the alleles and associations with fine-granular clinical phenotypes and basal ganglia structure.

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is common among hemodialysis (HD) patients. Endoscopic examination of the upper and lower GI tract often fails to identify hemorrhagic lesions in anemic HD patients. The study aims to evaluate lesions of the small bowel mucosa in HD vs non-HD patients with suspected small-bowel bleeding (SSBB) using capsule endoscopy (CE) after negative upper and lower GI endoscopies.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on estimating pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for an obese hemodialysis patient using gentamicin, highlighting how obesity affects drug clearance (CL).
- - A 53-year-old obese woman receiving hemodialysis was analyzed, showing a significant reduction in her non-HD gentamicin clearance compared to population averages, with her creatinine clearance (CrCL) indicating potential inaccuracies in renal function assessment.
- - Results from different modeling software (NONMEM and Monolix) underscored the necessity for individualized PK evaluations, particularly for obese patients undergoing hemodialysis, to accurately determine drug clearance impacts.
