Objective: To study the influence of moderate physical activity on serum concentrations of digoxin, digitoxin and albumin.

Methods: Blood samples were drawn from 10 consecutive mobile patients on digoxin and 12 patients on digitoxin therapy before and following a 10-min walking period. Digitalis serum concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay, and albumin serum concentrations by laser nephelometry.

Results: Following physical activity, digoxin serum concentrations dropped immediately to 79% of baseline values and remained significantly decreased for 20 min. Digitoxin concentrations did not change significantly.

Conclusion: In contrast to digoxin, the effect of physical activity the serum concentration of digitoxin can be disregarded.

Association between estrogen and kidney function: population based evidence and mutual bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.

Clin Exp Nephrol

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, China.

Background: Previous studies have suggested a potential role of estrogen in the pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, the association and causality between estrogen and kidney function remain unclear.

Methods: The cross-sectional correlation between serum estradiol concentration and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) was analyzed using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2016. Causality was tested using mutual bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approaches based on six large-scale GWAS studies.

Evaluation of the serum level of Lipocalin 2 in vitiligo.

Arch Dermatol Res

January 2025

Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine, Fayoum University, Fayoum, Egypt.

Vitiligo is considered as depigmenting skin disorder where patches of skin losing their pigment. Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) is one of the Inflammatory adipokines that has a potential role in skin disorders and other inflammatory diseases as well. To measure the concentration level of LCN2 in vitiligo patients compared to healthy controls and to investigate its relation to disease activity and other clinical data to evaluate its role in the pathogenesis of the disease.
