The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is expected to increase worldwide as the global population ages, potentially increasing the demand for nephrology services. Understanding whether CKD inevitably progresses or may regress can inform clinical decision-making and health policy.

To study CKD progression and regression by age in adults with CKD.

This population-based cohort study used linked administrative and laboratory data to assess adults in the province of Alberta, Canada, with incident mild, moderate, or severe CKD, defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 45 to 59, 30 to 44, or 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m2 for longer than 3 months, from April 1, 2009, to March 31, 2015. Data were analyzed from July 20 to November 30, 2020.

Age.

Time to the earliest of CKD regression or progression (defined as sustained increase or drop in eGFR category for >3 months, respectively, and a ≥25% increase or decrease in eGFR from baseline, respectively), kidney failure (the earlier of kidney reptantially (for moderate CKD, from 32.3% for <65 years to 9.4% for ≥85 years; for severe CKD, from 55.2% for <65 years to 4.7% for ≥85 years), whereas the probabilities of regression varied to a lesser extent (for moderate CKD, from 22.5% for <65 years to 15.4% for ≥85 years; for severe CKD, from 13.9% for <65 years to 18.7% for ≥85 years).

This cohort study found that with advancing age, CKD regression and death were more likely than CKD progression or kidney failure. These findings have important implications for patient care and for assessing the potential effect of population aging on the burden of CKD.

Physicians are exposed to traumatic events during their work, but the impact and outcomes of these exposures are understudied.

To determine the prevalence and associations of work-related trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among a cohort of resident physicians in their internship year of training.

This cohort study involved physicians entering internship at US residency programs nationwide in 2018. Participants completed a baseline survey 1 to 2 months before commencing internship, as well as follow-up surveys at 4 time points during internship. Statistical analysis was performed from April 2020 to January 2021.

Twelve months of internship.

Prevalence of work-related trauma and prevalence of PTSD among those who experienced work-related trauma. Trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms were assessed using the Primary Care PTSD Screen for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) (PC-PTSD-5).

Food insecurity is prevalent among racial/ethnic minority populations in the US. To date, few studies have examined the association between pre-COVID-19 experiences of food insecurity and COVID-19 infection rates through a race/ethnicity lens.

To examine the associations of race/ethnicity and past experiences of food insecurity with COVID-19 infection rates and the interactions of race/ethnicity and food insecurity, while controlling for demographic, socioeconomic, risk exposure, and geographic confounders.

This cross-sectional study examined the associations of race/ethnicity and food insecurity with cumulative COVID-19 infection rates in 3133 US counties, as of July 21 and December 14, 2020. Data were analyzed from November 2020 through March 2021.

Racial/ethnic minority groups who experienced food insecurity.

The dependent variable was COVID-19 infections per 1000 residents. The independent variables of interest were race/ethnicity, food insecurity, and their interactions.

Among 3133 US countieVID-19 infection rates in the United States. These findings suggest that the channels through which various racial/ethnic minority population concentrations were associated with COVID-19 infection rates were markedly different during the pandemic.

Although there is evidence of more severe COVID-19 outcomes, there is no information describing the risk factors for COVID-19 diagnosis and/or mortality among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) receiving residential support services in the US.

To identify associations between demographic characteristics, residential characteristics, and/or preexisting health conditions and COVID-19 diagnosis and mortality for people with IDD receiving residential support services.

This cohort study tracked COVID-19 outcomes for 543 individuals with IDD. Participants were receiving support services from a single organization providing residential services in the 5 boroughs of New York City from March 1 to October 1, 2020. Statistical analysis was performed from December 2020 to February 2021.

Resident-level characteristics, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, disability status, residential characteristics, and preexisting medical conditions.

COVID-19 diagnosis was confirmed by laboratory te.68-41.90) was associated with COVID-19 mortality.

This study found that, similar to the general population, increased age and preexisting health conditions were associated with COVID-19 outcomes for people with IDD receiving residential support services in New York City. As with older adults living in nursing homes, number of residents was also associated with more severe COVID-19 outcomes. Unique to people with IDD was an increased risk of COVID-19 diagnosis for people with Down syndrome.

The relative frequency of ischemic versus hemorrhagic stroke among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been clearly described. Moreover, no recent meta-analysis has investigated the outcomes of patients with CKD treated with thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the proportion of stroke subtypes and the outcomes of thrombolysis in CKD.

A PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane literature research was conducted. The primary outcome was the proportion and incidence of ischemic versus hemorrhagic strokes among patients with CKD. In addition, we assessed the impact of CKD on disability, mortality, and bleeding among patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with thrombolysis. The pooled proportion and the risk ratio (RR) were estimated using a random-effects model.

Thirty-nine observational studies were included 22 on the epidemiology of stroke types and 17 on the outcomes of thrombolysis in this population. In the main analysis (> 99,eserved kidney function.The influence of morphology on the biological effects of nanomaterials (NMs) has not been well understood. In the present study, we compared the phytotoxicity of rod-shaped nano-cerium dioxide (R-CeO2) and nano-cerium phosphate (R-CePO4) to lettuce plants. The results showed that R-CeO2 significantly inhibited the root elongation of lettuce, induced oxidative damages, and caused cell death, while R-CePO4 was nontoxic to lettuce. The different distribution and speciation of Ce in plant tissues were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) combined with linear combination fitting (LCF). The results showed that in the R-CeO2 group, part of Ce was transformed from Ce(IV) to Ce(III), while only Ce(III) was present in the R-CePO4 group. When interacting with plants, R-CeO2 is easier to be dissolved and transformed than R-CePO4, which might be the reason for their different phytotoxicity. Although both are Ce-based NMs and have the same morphology, the toxicity of R-CeO2 seems to come from the released Ce3+ ions rather than its shape. This research emphasizes the importance of chemical composition and reactivity of NMs to their toxicological effects.

Understanding why older adults (including those in very old age) use or do not use the Internet can build on the technology acceptance model (TAM). In this cross-sectional study, we translate the TAM to the Internet and assume that perceived usefulness of the Internet (PUI) and perceived ease of use of the Internet (PEUI) will be revealed as major predictors of behavioural intention to use the Internet (BII). Additionally, we consider the role of Internet self-efficacy (ISE) as another major factor for older adults' Internet use. We also argue that life phase, particularly early as opposed to advanced old age, may moderate how PUI, PEUI and ISE relate to BII.

A sample of 1,200 older adults aged 60 years and older (60-74 years, n = 658; 75-99 years, n = 542) was randomly drawn from the city of Stuttgart, Germany. Sociodemographic variables and major indicators of TAM and ISE were assessed based on a computer-assisted telephone interviewing procedure.

Latent structural equation modelling revealed that PUI is the more important predictor of BII in older adults. Furthermore, ISE revealed statistically meaningful positive links with PUI, PEUI and BII. Multi-group comparison revealed that PUI had a stronger linkage with BII in early old age, whereas ISE was more important for BII in advanced old age.

The results suggest that ISE may enrich the network of TAM constructs among older adults in general but specifically in advanced old age.

Bosutinib is a small molecule BCR-ABL, and src tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukaemia. According to published literature, no stability-indicating RP-HPLC method has been reported yet for estimation of bosutinib.

Hence, the stability-indicating RP-HPLC method has been developed for the stability study of bosutinib using risk and DoE-based enhanced analytical quality by design approach.

The risk-based analytical quality by design approach was applied by risk parameter identification and risk assessment by risk priority number (RPN) ranking and filtering method as per International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Q9 guideline. The DoE-based AQbD approach was implemented by response surface analysis using a central composite design. The risk of critical method risk parameters was mitigated by navigation of design space and framing of control strategy.

The chromatographic separation was performed using a C18 column and acetonitrile-1.0%, v/v triethylamine in water (pH 7.
