Effect of Cryptotanshinone on Measures of Rat Cardiomyocyte Oxidative Stress and Gene Activation Associated with Apoptosis
Conclusion: CTS protects cardiomyocytes against the H2O2-induced cellular injuries through ERK and NF- κB inactivation and ROS scavenging. Therefore, CTS is a promising reagent against ROS-induced cardiomyopathy.Cardiorenal Med (Source: Cardiorenal Medicine)

Dialysis Modality and Mortality in Heart Failure: A Retrospective Study of Incident Dialysis Patients
Conclusions: We found no difference in mortality by initial dialysis modality. Our data support the current practice of selecting dialysis modality based on patient preference for patients with pre-existing HF.Cardiorenal Med (Source: Cardiorenal Medicine)

Serum Copeptin, NLPR3, and suPAR Levels among Patients with Autosomal-Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease with and without Impaired Renal Function
Conclusions: This study showed that ADPKD patients with impaired and preserved renal function had higher copeptin, NLRP3, and suPAR levels than controls. Such findings support that cystogenesis and inflammation are associated with endothelial dysfunction, even in the early stages of ADKPD.Cardiorenal Med (Source: Cardiorenal Medicine)

Measures of Loop Diuretic Efficiency and Prognosis in Chronic Kidney Disease
Conclusion: Low loop diuretic efficiency is independently associated with a shorter time to dialysis initiation and a higher risk for all-cause mortality in CKD.Cardiorenal Med (Source: Cardiorenal Medicine)

Blood Urea Nitrogen to Creatinine Ratio and Long-Term Mortality in Patients with Acute Heart Failure: A Prospective Cohort Study and Meta-Analysis

COVID-19-Associated Systemic Thromboembolism: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Conclusions: Systemic anticoagulation could prove to be essential in the treatment of CO VID-19. Further studies are required to assess its role in improving long-term morbidity and mortality in these patients.Cardiorenal Med (Source: Cardiorenal Medicine)
