Severe Hyporesponsiveness to Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents in Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis-Reconsidering the Relationship with Thrombo-Inflammation and Oxidative Stress.
Diagnostics (Basel)
October 2024
Department of Nephrology, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, IL 60153, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between thrombo-inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) hyporesponsiveness in chronic hemodialysis patients.
- It included 96 patients, analyzing various biomarkers and clinical data to calculate the ESA-hyporesponsiveness index (EHRI).
- Findings indicate that low body mass index (BMI) and high levels of L-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) are significant predictors of ESA resistance, suggesting these factors could help identify patients at risk for reduced responsiveness to ESA therapy.
Comparison of Knowledge About Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Relation to Gender Among Healthcare Professionals and in the General Population.

Center for Clinical Pharmacology, Military Medical Academy, Faculty of Medicine of the Military Medical Academy, University of Defence, Belgrade, SRB.
Introduction: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are derived by reprogramming adult somatic cells using a forced expression of four specific transcription factors in a highly controlled artificial environment. The aim of this paper is to examine the knowledge about these cells of the general population and the population of health workers in relation to gender.
Methods: The research was designed as a cohort study conducted with a validated questionnaire to assess knowledge about iPSCs.
Association between paediatric eye injuries, later academic success and social performance.
Med Glas (Zenica)
May 2024
Eye Institute Knezovic, Zagreb, Croatia.
Aim: To investigate an association between eye injury and later academic and social performance.
Materials: A retrospective longitudinal study of taking measurements multiple times was conducted including all severe eye injuries admitted during 2011-2017 at the main regional clinic to investigate changes in academic success and social inclusion before and after an injury. Parents/caregivers were surveyed asking questions on academic performance, and community/social involvement.
Decentered Individualized Sphero-Cylindrical (DISC) Ablation and Corneal Crosslinking in Patient with Progressive Keratoconus.
Case Rep Ophthalmol Med
July 2022
Eye Institute Knezović, Zagreb, Croatia.
Aim: To report a new method with which we have treated a 29-year-old patient with keratoconus and progressive bilateral visual loss during the past few years.
Methods: The patient underwent inferotemporal decentered individualized sphero-cylindrical (DISC) ablation and crosslinking (CXL) of the left eye. After administration of topical anesthetic, the patient was subjected to phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) laser ablation of the central 7.
