: Limited evidence exists regarding the association of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with long-term outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to assess the association of CKD with 10-year outcome after PCI. This study included 5571 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing PCI. Patients were categorized in groups according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values: eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m, (normal kidney function), 60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m (mild kidney impairment), 30 to <60 mL/min/1.73 m (mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe kidney impairment) and <30 mL/min/1.73 m (severe kidney impairment). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 10 years. All-cause deaths occurred in 155 patients (86.3%) with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m, 602 patients (59.1%) with eGFR 30 to <60 mL/min/1.73 m, 775 patients (31.3%) with eGFR 60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m and 220 patients (15.8%) with eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m (adjusted hazard ratio = 2.16, 95% confidence interval 1.84 to 2.54, < 0.001, for 30 mL/min/1.73 m decrement in the eGFR). There were CKD-by-age (Pint < 0.001) and CKD-by-clinical presentation (Pint = 0.017) interactions showing a stronger association of CKD with mortality in younger patients and those presenting with acute coronary syndromes. The C statistic of the multivariable model for mortality increased from 0.748 [0.737-0.759] to 0.766 [0.755-0.777] ( < 0.001) after the inclusion of eGFR in the model. In patients with CAD undergoing PCI, CKD was associated with higher mortality at 10 years compared with patients with preserved renal function. The association between CKD and mortality was stronger in patients of younger age and those presenting with acute coronary syndromes.

Background: Stimulating diuresis is crucial in heart failure (HF) treatment. Diuretic resistance develops in approximately 30% to 45% of patients with HF.
Objective: We investigated the feasibility and safety of lateral epidural stimulation (LES) to enhance diuresis by stimulating renal afferent sensory nerves.

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) has been revealed as a valuable approach against viral infections because of the fast therapeutic effect and low possibility of resistance development. The photodynamic inhibition of the infectivity of human herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) strain Victoria at different stages of its reproduction was studied. PDI activity was determined on extracellular virions, on the stage of their adsorption to the Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cell line and inhibition of the viral replication stage by application of two tetra-methylpyridiloxy substituted gallium and zinc phthalocyanines (ZnPcMe and GaPcMe) upon 660 nm light exposure with a light-emitting diode (LED 660 nm).

Arthropod-borne viral diseases are acute febrile illnesses, sometimes with chronic effects, that can be debilitating and even fatal worldwide, affecting particularly vulnerable populations. Indigenous communities face not only the burden of these acute febrile illnesses, but also the cardiovascular complications that are worsened by urbanization. A cross-sectional study was conducted in an Indigenous population in the Northeast Region of Brazil to explore the association between arboviral infections (dengue, chikungunya, and Zika) and cardiac biomarkers, including cardiotrophin 1, growth differentiation factor 15, lactate dehydrogenase B, fatty-acid-binding protein 3, myoglobin, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponin I, big endothelin 1, and creatine kinase-MB, along with clinical and anthropometric factors.

Tripartite Motif-Containing 44 (TRIM44) is responsible for cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infections. However, the role of TRIM44 (scTRIM44) during viral infection remains unclear. In the present study, we analyzed the molecular characteristics of scTRIM44 and its role in infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), largemouth bass virus (LMBV), and Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) infection.

Introduction: The development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common and significant complication, contributing to morbidity after liver transplantation (LT). Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common in the overall population, and relevant reinfection after LT may occur. CMV-associated kidney damage has been discussed, but the clinical significance on CKD development after LT remains unclear.
