The association of lipid accumulation product with inflammatory parameters and mortality: evidence from a large population-based study by Yi Chi, Yiqing Zhang, Huang Lin, Shanshan Zhou, Genlin Jia, Wei Wen

“…Kaplan-Meier survival plots indicated an overall median survival time of 144 months. Mediation analysis revealed that Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), Monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR), and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) mediated 27.15%, 35.15%, and 16.55%, respectively, of the association between AVI and all-cause mortality.ConclusionAVI is positively associated with all-cause mortality in older adults with hypertension, and this association appears to be partially mediated by inflammatory parameters.…”

Patients’ and caregivers’ perspectives on access to kidney replacement therapy in rural communities: systematic review of qualitative studies by Allison Tong, Stephen May, Jonathan Craig, Martin Howell, Talia Gutman, Rachel Chalmers, David J Tunnicliffe, Nicole Jane Scholes-Robertson, Amanda Baumgart, Victoria SInka

“…This study aims to describe the perspectives of patients and caregivers on access to KRT in rural communities to inform strategies to maximise access to quality care, and thereby reduce disadvantage, inequity and improve health outcomes.Setting 18 studies (n=593 participants) conducted across eight countries (Australia, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Ghana, the USA, Tanzania and India).Results We identified five themes: uncertainty in navigating healthcare services (with subthemes of struggling to absorb information, without familiarity and exposure to options, grieving former roles and yearning for cultural safety); fearing separation from family and home (anguish of homesickness, unable to fulfil family roles and preserving sense of belonging in community); intense burden of travel and cost (poverty of time, exposure to risks and hazards, and taking a financial toll); making life-changing sacrifices; guilt and worry in receiving care (shame in taking resources from others, harbouring concerns for living donor, and coping and managing in isolation).Conclusion Patients with CKD in rural areas face profound and inequitable challenges of displacement, financial burden and separation from family in accessing KRT, which can have severe consequences on their well-being and outcomes. …”

The sporophytic type of fertility restoration in the A3 CMS-inducing cytoplasm of sorghum and its modification by plant water availability conditions by L. A. Elkonin, V. V. Kozhemyakin, M. I. Tsvetova

“…It is assumed that the expression of the fertility-restoring genes Rf3 and Rf4 in the hybrids with studied CMS lines starts already in the sporophyte tissues, normalizing the development of a certain part of the PGs carrying the recessive alleles of these genes (rf3 and rf4), which are involved in fertilization and give rise to sterile genotypes found in F2 and BC1 families. For the first time, the transgenerational effect of water availability conditions of growing a fertility-restoring line on male fertility of the F2 generation was detected: a pollinator grown in a plot with additional irrigation produced more fertile and less sterile individuals compared to the same pollinator grown under a rainfall shelter (p &lt; 0.01), and the segregation pattern changed from digenic to monogenic, indicating heritable inhibition of the expression of one of the fertility-restoring genes (kind of “grandfather effect”). …”
