AI Article Synopsis

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects about 13.4% of people worldwide and is linked to other health problems like heart disease and diabetes.
  • Obesity can either cause kidney disease or make it worse, so losing weight through diet is important.
  • The Italian Society of Endocrinology and other groups suggest diets like low-carb or Mediterranean to help manage obesity and prevent CKD from getting worse.

Article Abstract

Purpose: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health concern with an estimated prevalence of about 13.4% worldwide. It is cause and consequence of various comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases. In parallel, common pathological conditions closely related to ageing and unhealthy dietary habits increase the risk of CKD development and progression, including type 2 diabetes and obesity. Among these, obesity is either independent risk factor for new onset kidney disease or accelerates the rate of decline of kidney function by multiple mechanisms. Therefore, the role of diets aimed at attaining weight loss in patients with obesity is clearly essential to prevent CKD as to slow disease progression. Various dietary approaches have been licensed for the medical dietary therapy in CKD, including low-protein diet and Mediterranean diet. Interestingly, emerging evidence also support the use of low-carbohydrate/ketogenic diet (LCD/KD) in these patients. More specifically, LCD/KDs may efficiently promote weight loss, improve metabolic parameters, and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, resulting in a dietary strategy that act globally in managing collateral conditions that are directly and indirectly related to the kidney function.

Conclusion: This consensus statement from the Italian Society of Endocrinology (SIE), working group of the Club Nutrition - Hormones and Metabolism; the Italian Society of Nutraceuticals (SINut), Club Ketodiets and Nutraceuticals "KetoNut-SINut"; and the Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN) is intended to be a guide for Endocrinologist, Nutritionists and Nephrologist who deal with the management of patients with obesity with non-dialysis CKD providing a practical guidance on assessing nutritional status and prescribing the optimal diet in order to best manage obesity to prevent CKD and its progression to dialysis.

Background: Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting language abilities, with clinical variants (nonfluent/agrammatic variant [nfvPPA], semantic variant [svPPA], logopenic variant [lvPPA], and mixed-PPA [mPPA]) categorized based on linguistic features. This study aims to compare PPA cohorts of native speakers of two different languages: English (an analytic language with deep orthography) and Italian (a synthetic language with shallow orthography).

Methods: We considered 166 English participants (70 nfvPPA, 45 svPPA, 42 lvPPA, 9 mPPA) and 106 Italian participants (14 nfvPPA, 20 svPPA, 42 lvPPA, 31 mPPA).

Purpose: After primary systemic therapy (PST), agreement on the extent of locoregional therapy is lacking in breast cancer patients who convert from a node-positive to a node-negative status. The aim of this survey was to investigate radiation therapy approaches after PST according to different axillary surgical strategies and disease responses.

Materials And Methods: The European Breast Cancer Research Association of Surgical Trialists developed a web-based survey containing 39 questions on locoregional management based on clinical scenarios in initially node positive breast cancer patients undergoing PST.

About the ozone ability in using adaptive chaos to restore a healthy state in the oxygen-ozone adjunct therapy.

Italian Scientific Society of Oxygen-Ozone Therapy (SIOOT) and High Master School of Oxygen-Ozone Therapy, University of Pavia, Italy.

The action of ozone in medicine is a subject of interest and lively, controversial debates. Its mechanisms of action are still far from fully understood. However, it is possible that ozone triggers a series of dynamics in living organisms related to chaos, multi-stable phenomena, and oscillatory processes.

More Than the Sum of Its Parts: Disrupted Core Periphery of Multiplex Brain Networks in Multiple Sclerosis.

Hum Brain Mapp

January 2025

Queen Square Multiple Sclerosis Centre, Department of Neuroinflammation, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, University College London, London, UK.

Disruptions to brain networks, measured using structural (sMRI), diffusion (dMRI), or functional (fMRI) MRI, have been shown in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), highlighting the relevance of regions in the core of the connectome but yielding mixed results depending on the studied connectivity domain. Using a multilayer network approach, we integrated these three modalities to portray an enriched representation of the brain's core-periphery organization and explore its alterations in PwMS. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we selected PwMS and healthy controls with complete multimodal brain MRI acquisitions from 13 European centers within the MAGNIMS network.
