Introduction: Given the high prevalence and significant challenges of frailty, a state of increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes, among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, this cross-sectional study aimed to investigate its prevalence and explore its association with nutritional status and other relevant factors.
Methods: The study involved 290 MHD patients with an average age of 52.98 ± 13.65 years. Frailty assessments, nutritional evaluations, and medical status measurements were performed. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and multivariate logistic regression.
Results: Among the patients, 70.3% were identified with frailty (16.9% frail, 53.4% pre-frail). Frailty was more prevalent in female patients compared to males and correlated positively with age, marital status, caregiving needs, comorbidities, dialysis duration, and higher nutritional risk scores. Negative correlations were observed with serum albumin, hemoglobin, body weight, and height.
Conclusion: A significant prevalence of frailty was found in MHD patients, with notable associations to various demographic, clinical, and nutritional factors.

Relationship between triglyceride glucose-body mass index and coronary artery calcium score in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Background: This study investigated the association between coronary artery calcification (CAC) and triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
Methods: We used computed tomography (CT) to assess coronary artery calcification score (CACS) using the Agatston method. The TyG index was multiplied by BMI to derive the TyG-BMI index.

Background: To prevent the development of cholangiocarcinoma, an effective screening opisthorchiasis viverrini and/or differential diagnosis of and the cholangiocarcinoma is crucial needed. The level and quality of cfDNA in plasma are being investigated for their potential role as biomarkers in cholangiocarcinoma.
Methods: The study enrolled 43 healthy controls (N), 36 -infected subjects (OV), and 36 cholangiocarcinoma patients (CCA).
Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between blood pressure variability (BPV), crystalloid osmotic pressure, and cardiovascular events (CEs) in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).
Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted on 71 patients with end-stage kidney disease who underwent hemodialysis at Beilun District People's Hospital from September 2021 to September 2022. The patients were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of CEs: a cardiovascular event group and a non-cardiovascular event group.
The effect of coronary artery calcifications and radiotherapy on the risk of coronary artery disease in high-risk breast cancer patients in the DBCG RT-Nation cohort.

Background And Purpose: Radiotherapy improves outcomes for breast cancer. However, prior studies have correlated the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) to the mean heart dose (MHD), mean dose to the left anterior descending artery (LAD_mean) and the left ventricle V5Gy (LV5). Other studies showed an increased risk of CAD for patients with pronounced coronary artery calcification (CAC) at the time of radiotherapy.

Introduction: In China, an increasing number of patients with end-stage renal disease are undergoing hemodialysis treatment. While this treatment yields relatively positive outcomes, the prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis ranges from 24 to 80%, which is significantly higher than the general population.
Method: In this retrospective study, a total of 120 patients with kidney disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) were enrolled.
