Possible renoprotective effect of lactotripeptides: A brief review

Possible renoprotective effects of dabigatran

I read with great interest the article by Altın et al. (1) with reference to their experience on dabigatran treatment for acute renal infarction (ARI) in a case report entitled "A novel oral anticoagulant, dabigatran, in acute renal infarction” published in Anatol J Cardiol 2015; 15: 158-9. The authors claimed that in patients with ARI, a direct thrombin inhibitor, dabigatran, is preferred for ...

A Possible Mechanism for Renoprotective Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor: Elevation of Erythropoietin Production

We read a recent review on the renoprotective effect of sodiumglucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) [1], with a great interest. Sano et al mentioned that SGLT2i reduces the overload of the proximal tubules and improves tubulointerstitial hypoxia, inducing the recovery of erythropoietin production by fibroblasts [1]. They concluded that increased hematocrit during SGLT2i therapy indicates t...

A brief review of psychosocial impact of onychomycosis

Onychomycosis is a common nail disorder. If left untreated, it may cause nail deformity and nail plate dystrophy. Since nails have aesthetic importance, onychomycosis may have some impact on quality of life by causing a change in the appearance of nail and/or nail dystrophy and by interfering with fine activities carried out by hand. The aim of this review is to evaluate the quality of life in ...

Big Bounce Genesis and Possible Experimental Tests: A Brief Review

We review the recent status of big bounce genesis as a new possibility of using dark matter particles’ mass and interaction cross-section to test the existence of a bounce universe at the early stage of evolution in our currently-observed universe. To study the dark matter production and evolution inside the bounce universe, called big bounce genesis for short, we propose a model independent ap...
