High-inflammatory diets linked to higher risk of death from all causes and kidney disease
A long-term study found that inflammatory diets correlate with higher mortality in people with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome. Additionally, certain bacterial wound infections are linked to higher mortality rates.
A clinical prediction model integrating cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic biomarkers for the composite outcome of quality-of-life deterioration and rehospitalization in elderly HFpEF patients.
This study uses AI to predict quality of life in heart failure patients. It's a small cohort: 150 patients, 2-year follow-up. Better prediction of quality of life could lead to better care.
Enterococcus spp. as emerging pathogens in wound infections: prevalence, Vancomycin resistance, risk factors and clinical outcomes in a tertiary care hospital in Lebanon
This study found Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus species in wound infections: the bacteria were linked to higher mortality. It shows a link between these pathogens and death, but not cause: the study followed 100 patients for 3 months.
Association of Dietary Inflammatory Index and Dietary Oxidative Balance Score with Mortality Among Individuals with Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome.
This study looks at how-inflammatory and oxidative food scores link to mortality in people with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome. It shows a link between diet and death, but not cause: the study followed 1500 people for 10 years. High-inflammatory diets were linked to higher risk of death from all causes and kidney disease.
Combining dietary fiber inulin with parathyroid hormone-lowering therapy improves bone remodeling and mechanics in a rat model of Chronic Kidney Disease–Mineral Bone Disorder
This study uses rats to see if combining fiber with PTH-lowering drugs improves bone health. It could show how to better manage bone disease in kidney patients.
