Of these, OTU 93 (

) and OTU 210 (

)

were consistently positively associated with maternal and cord 25(OH)D; OTU 64 (

) was positively associated with prenatal 25(OH)D but negatively associated with cord 25(OH)D.

Prenatal maternal and cord blood 25(OH)D levels are associated with the early life gut microbiota. Future studies are needed to understand how vitamin D and the microbiome may interact to influence child health.

Peritonitis remains a major complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Abdominal imaging is often performed in the setting of peritonitis to evaluate for concomitant intra-abdominal processes. However, the usefulness of this procedure is unknown.

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of abdominal imaging performed in the setting of PD peritonitis and to evaluate clinical parameters associated with abnormal imaging results to identify clinical situations in which radiographic examinations are informative.

This is a retrospective cohort study.

The study was conducted at the Toronto General Hospital, Ontario, Canada.

We studied 166 episodes of PD peritonitis in 114 patients between January 1, 2011, and June 30, 2016.

Baseline demographics, characteristics of PD peritonitis, and characteristics of abdominal imaging performed.

The association between relevant clinical parameters and abnormal abdominal imaging was examined using a univariate and multivariate logistic regression model.

Abcant clinical parameter associated with abnormal findings. Therefore, abdominal imaging should be performed in carefully selected patients with PD peritonitis, especially if there is evidence of hemodynamic instability. While the finding of fungal or polymicrobial peritonitis was a driver for abdominal imaging, the presence of these organisms did not predict radiologic abnormalities.

Blood group incompatibility (ABOi) is the most common barrier to living donor kidney transplantation. Options for such recipients include kidney paired donation (KPD) or desensitization methodology to reduce blood antibody response.

The objective of this study is to report on the first North America experience in ABOi living donor kidney transplantation using Glycosorb ABO immunoadsorption columns.

Retrospective observational cohort study.

Renal transplant program at St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, University of Toronto.

Twenty-six ABOi living donor transplants from August 2011 through February 2020 were undertaken at our center.

Renal allograft and patient survival postdesensitization for ABOi living donor transplants and isohemagglutinin titer reduction.

Preoperative immunosuppressive regimen consisted of a single dose of Rituximab 375 mg/m

IV on day -28; tacrolimus, mycophenolic acid, and prednisone to start on day -7. Immunoadsorption treatments with Glycosorb A or B columns contributed to improved clinical outcomes.

ABO column immunoadsorption with specific columns is a safe and effective method for ABOi living donor kidney transplantation, and an option when KPD is less than ideal.Trial not registered as this was a retrospective cohort review.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health issue and cardiovascular risk factor. Validity assessment of administrative data for the detection of CKD in research for drug benefit and risk using real-world data is important. Existing algorithms have limitations and we need to develop new algorithms using administrative data, giving the importance of drug benefit/risk ratio in real world.

The aim of this study was to validate a predictive algorithm for CKD GFR category 4-5 (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m

but not receiving dialysis or CKD G4-5ND) using the administrative databases of the province of Quebec relative to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as a reference standard.

This is a retrospective cohort study using chart collection and administrative databases.

The study was conducted in a community outpatient medical clinic and pre-dialysis outpatient clinic in downtown Montreal and rural area.

Patient medical files with at least 2 serum creatinine measures (up to 1 year apart) between Sinition of severe CKD G4-5ND derived from an algorithm using diagnosis code, drug use, and nephrologist visits from administrative databases is a valid algorithm compared with medical chart reviews in older adults.

Compared to the general population, kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of hemorrhage and thrombosis. Whether this risk is affected by graft function and albuminuria is unknown.

To determine the association between graft function and albuminuria and the risk of post-transplant hemorrhage and thrombosis.

Retrospective cohort study.

We used linked health care databases in Alberta, Canada.

We included adult kidney transplant recipients from 2002 to 2015 with a functioning graft at 1 year.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria measurements at 1 year post-transplant were used to categorize recipients (eGFR ≥45 vs. <45 mL/min/1.73 m

 ; albuminuria absence vs. presence). We determined the rates of post-transplant hemorrhage and venous thrombosis based on validated diagnostic and procedural codes.

We determined the association between categories of eGFR and albuminuria and post-transplant hemorrhage and venous thrombosis using Poisson regression with log link.

O and albuminuria at 1 year post-transplant are important prognostic factors in determining risk of post-transplant hemorrhage and venous thrombosis. Further research, including medication data, are needed to further delineate outcomes and safety.

This study, based on the official media releases of the Government of Nepal, analyses the clinical and epidemiological features of the individuals who died as a result of COVID-19 in Nepal from 23 January to 10 August 2020. We found that nearly half of the deaths were among people less than 50 years of age and being female increased the risk of death. The majority of deaths were associated with co-morbidities, the most common being cardiovascular diseases and diabetes followed by respiratory diseases. With the approaching festive season and relaxed lockdown, both government and citizens need to be more cautious about the severity of COVID-19 and take appropriate action.Since its emergence, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread worldwide, and led to ever-increasing mortality. SARS-CoV-2 infection perturbs the function of the body's vital organs, making patients of all ages susceptible to the disease. Nevertheless, individuals developing critical illness with poor outcomes were mostly the elderly and people with co-morbid conditions, who constituted the vast majority of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) fatalities. Complications of COVID-19 mostly involve the respiratory, renal and cardiovascular systems, and in severe cases secondary infections leading to pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome, which may precede the death of the patient. Multi-organ failure in individuals with COVID-19 could be a consequence of their co-morbidities. A patient's pre-existing conditions may affect the disease prognosis, requiring immediate attention to accurately detect and evaluate them in SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals. This review addresses several issues in relation to manifestations of the body's vital organs along with potential diagnostic blood factors in SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is hoped that the review will lead to more comprehensive understanding of this complex disease.

Motor imagery training might be helpful in stroke rehabilitation. This study explored if a single session of motor imagery (MI) training induces performance changes in mental chronometry (MC), motor execution, or changes of motor excitability.

Subacute stroke patients (

 = 33) participated in two training sessions. The order was randomized. One training consisted of a mental chronometry task, the other training was a hand identification task, each lasting 30 min. Before and after the training session, the Box and Block Test (BBT) was fully executed and also performed as a mental version which served as a measure of MC. A subgroup analysis based on the presence of sensory deficits was performed. Patients were allocated to three groups (no sensory deficits, moderate sensory deficits, severe sensory deficits). Motor excitability was measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) pre and post training. Amplitudes of motor evoked potentials at rest and during pre-innervation as well as the duration of coanges of mental chronometry. Studies with longer treatment periods should explore if the observed changes can further be expanded.

The aim of this study was to compare the postural control of the Poland national women's volleyball team players with a control group of non-training young women. It was hypothesized that volleyball players use a specific balance control strategy due to the high motor requirements of their team sport.

Static postural sway variables were measured in 31 athletes and 31 non-training women. Participants were standing on a force plate with eyes open, and their center of pressure signals were recorded for the 20s with the sampling rate of 20 Hz in the medial-lateral (ML) and anterior-posterior (AP) planes.

In both AP and ML planes, athletes had lower range and higher fractal dimension of the COP. They had also higher peak frequency than control group in the ML plane only. The remaining COP indices including variability, mean velocity and mean frequency did not display any intergroup differences.

It can be assumed that due to the high motor requirements of their sport discipline Polish female volleyball players have developed a unique posture control. On the court they have to distribute their sensory resources optimally between balance control and actions resulting from the specifics of the volleyball game. There are no clearly defined criteria for optimal postural strategies for elite athletes, but they rather vary depending on a given sport. The results of our research confirm this claim.
