Renal Dysfunction

This comparative cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of subclinical renal dysfunction in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to evaluate its association with disease activity and inflammatory markers compared with age- and sex-matched healthy controls at Assiut University Hospitals.

The K-PROSE study is a randomized clinical investigation evaluating strategies to prevent contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure and moderate renal dysfunction (eGFR 30-75 mL/min/1.73 m²). Patients requiring contrast-enhanced CT imaging are randomized to either standard intravenous saline hydration or a furosemide-based decongestion strategy. Renal function is assessed using serial measurements of creatinine and cystatin C, before and after contrast exposure. By comparing renal outcomes, congestion status, and safety profiles, this study aims to determine whether a decongestion-focused approach provides superior renal protection compared with conventional hydration in high-risk acute heart failure patients.

Heart failure (HF) in patients at risk is often overlooked, and when detected, there is a lack of early and effective preventive interventions. The WE-CARE-HF-CMR study, conducted in large cities/metropol areas in Germany ( \> 1.000.000 inhabitants), aims to close this gap by evaluating the feasibility of a mobile, telemedicinemonitored HF-screening approach combining cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), quality of life assessment and laboratory tests as key elements in asymptomatic patients at risk. WE-CARE-HF-CMR will provide a proposal for a comprehensive, contemporary screening approach for patients at risk to develop HF tailored to the needs of the target population. This will provide important new information on the prevalence of asymptomatic HF in at-risk patients in urban versus rural areas. The results of the study will be compared with the results from the "HERZCheck'' trial, which provides data from approximately 4,500 participants in rural areas in Germany and has already been completed (NCT05122793).

Diabetic wounds are difficult to heal. Autologous platelets in diabetic patients with renal insufficiency have poor function. Allogeneic platelet plasma has a promising application prospect. Comparing the efficacy and safety differences between allogeneic platelet plasma and autologous platelet plasma is of significant importance and value for the clinical application.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether NightWare therapeutic intervention improves biomarkers of vascular and renal function in premenopausal women with PTSD-related nightmares, and examine whether these improvements restore them to levels observed in age-matched women without PTSD.
