Effect of low-calcium and standard-calcium dialysate on serum calcium, phosphorus and full-segment parathyroid hormone in patients on peritoneal dialysis: A retrospective observational study
CONCLUSION: We found that low-calcium PD fluid may increase the PTH level and the proportion of CKD patients using antihypertensive drug and phosphorus-lowering drug, but the vascular calcification effect of the low and standard calcium PD fluid needs further exploration. This paper provides new evidence for the choice of dialysate for PD, low-calcium dialysate has no outstanding advantages for long term dialysis.PMID:37877542 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231206641 (Source: The International Journal of Artificial Organs)

Biomechanical effects of iatrogenic muscle-ligaments complex damage on adjacent segments following posterior lumbar interbody fusion: A finite element analysis
CONCLUSION: PLIF results in increased ROM and the VM stress of adjacent segments, the proximal MLC damage will aggravate this change. This may increase the risk of ASD and chronic low back pain. Preserving the proximal MLC reduces the biomechanical effects on adjacent segments.PMID:37864511 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231203586 (Source: The International Journal of Artificial Organs)

Hemodynamics in AVF over time: A protective role of vascular remodeling toward flow stabilization
Int J Artif Organs. 2023 Sep 27:3913988231191960. doi: 10.1177/03913988231191960. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe mechanisms underlying vascular stenosis formation in the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for hemodialysis (HD) remain mostly unknown. Several computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies have suggested a potential role for unsteady flow in inducing intimal hyperplasia and AVF stenosis, but the majority of these observations have been limited to a single time point after surgical creation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between hemodynamic conditions and AVF vascular remodeling through ...
