Background: A randomized controlled study was conducted on the effects of laughter therapy on increasing the acceptance of the disease, compliance with treatment and comfort levels in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Materials and methods: The study was conducted with 42 (experimental group=21, control group=21) patients treated in the hemodialysis unit. Eight sessions of laughter yoga were applied to the hemodialysis patients in the experimental group for four weeks, two days a week. Data were used on the Patient Information Form, the Acceptance Scale, the End Stage Renal Failure - Compliance Scale, and the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale.
Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a foodborne disease which mainly affects children. It is caused by Escherichia coli bacteria, which release a toxin called Shiga toxin within the body. This infectious form of HUS, defined as STEC-HUS, can cause sporadic cases or outbreaks, as observed in different countries. Argentina has the highest incidence of STEC-HUS worldwide. The disease is endemic, representing approximately 95% of all HUS cases nationwide. STEC-HUS generally begins with diarrhea (with or without blood), and can also cause fever, abdominal pain, and cramps. Then the child may have pallor, altered consciousness, decreased urine output, seizures, and other symptoms. Although death is uncommon (it occurs in 2-4% of cases), it is a very serious disease that mainly affects the kidneys, and also other organs such as the brain. About half of children need to undergo a risky procedure such as dialysis (due to malfunctioning kidneys); and most of them also receive blood transfusions. Around 30% of the patients are left with lifelong consequences that can range from permanent kidney damage to the need for a transplant. So far there is no drug, antibiotic or vaccine to prevent or treat HUS. Current treatment protocols include hospitalization for all patients with HUS, and supportive therapy such as hydration and salt intake. Support therapy is not a specific treatment, but rather helps the body better defend itself against the disease. The purpose of this study is to establish whether it is safe and effective to treat patients who are diagnosed with STEC-HUS, with INM004 (study drug). INM004 is an investigational product "Fraction F(ab')2 of Equine Shiga Antitoxin Immunoglobulin". It is a concentrated and sterile serum obtained from healthy horses immunized against Shiga toxin that contains antibodies capable of neutralizing it. The initial hypothesis is that INM004 would neutralize the entry of Shiga toxin into the body's cells thus preventing the consequent toxic damage. With the proposed treatment, INM004 would eliminate the Shiga toxin, preventing the progression of HUS symptoms and its serious complications (such as the need for and duration of dialysis, duration of hospital stays, as well as neurological, cardiovascular, intestinal complications, among others) which are associated with high morbidity and mortality. This treatment could then have an impact in health costs of STEC-HUS as well as the social costs.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CAN106 administered intravenously to subjects with PNH who have not previously been treated with a complement inhibitor.

Anemia is a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) in the circulation. Because RBCs carry the oxygen your body needs to function, anemia can affect one's ability to stay awake, alert, and perform physical activities. Anemia may happen for several reasons, including increased RBC destruction. Anemia often occurs in people who have been in bed for long periods (e.g., if they are very sick) or have decreased mobility (anemia of immobility). Interestingly, astronauts who have left Earth and traveled in space also return anemic. In fact, 5 decades of NASA data showed that astronauts' anemia was more severe the longer they were in space. In another study, astronauts aboard the International Space Station were shown to destroy 54% more of their RBCs in space. RBC destruction may be the culprit of space anemia as well as anemia of immobility on Earth. The ANEMIA Study proposes to measure key aspects of RBC destruction in astronauts in space. These measures will test critical hypotheses on the effects of spaceflight on red blood cells.
Evaluation of immunogenicity and safety of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine (BBIBP-Corv) coadministered with PPV23 and IIV4 in hemodialysis population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if adding a noninvasive testing of End Tidal Carbon Monoxide with a FDA approved device will help improve management of jaundice in the Neonates by reducing the number of lab draws, Coombs tests and optimizing the number of phototherapy hours in Neonates who need it. Eligible subjects will be Term and healthy late preterm newborns born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and admitted to well baby nursery from November 2020 onwards. The primary procedure of measuring an End-Tidal Carbon monoxide in a Newborn is going to be with a soft cannula applied to the Newborn's nose for a few minutes. The whole procedure will take about 15+ 5 minutes. Subject participation will last approximately 6 months and all subjects will be followed up with one phone call at about 2-4 weeks of age. Adding ETCO testing to current standard of care might reduce the number of lab draws in a newborn and potentially reduce costs by optimizing the number of phototherapy hours in a Newborn who needs it. Cedars- Sinai Medical Center will not be billing the patients for the End-Tidal Carbon Monoxide measurement for this study.
In newborns, intravascular hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood cells inside the blood vessels) can range from mild, as part of the physiological (normal) turnover of red blood cells, to severe in cases such as jaundice (an increase in bilirubin levels) Early biomarkers of haemolysis would improve neonatology (newborn) practice by identifying at-risk patients, particularly if the assay is simple, rapid, non-invasive and quantitative. Our now-completed URICA trial on full-term male babies showed that the small cytoplasmic protein carbonic anhydrase I (CAI), found abundantly in red blood cells, was detected in 17 out of 26 urine samples collected once per recruited baby at the neonatology ward. CAI-positive samples were obtained from babies with levels of bilirubin that were rapidly rising or peaking above the threshold for phototherapy. CAI-negative urine was obtained when either bilirubin did not reach phototherapy (a light treatment used for excessive jaudice) threshold, or after it had recovered from its peak. On four occasions, the cause of CAI-positive urine was undetermined. Since CAI is normally absent from urine, a positive signal is indicative of intravascular hemolysis and confirms that CAI crossed the glomerular barrier (a barrier within the kidneys that filters large molecules). However, the quantitative power of urinary CAI to predict and estimate an impending haemolytic crisis requires a new longitudinal study, which is the objective of the URICA-II trial. The URICA-II trial would recruit 30 full term newborn infants delivered at the Evelina London Children's Hospital. The babies recruited would be expected to stay in the hospital for at least 5 days due to treatment for jaundice, infection or some other condition. Participants will have daily non-invasive (bag) urine samples collected and daily transcutaneous (skin) bilirubin levels recorded upto 10 days. The study will last upto 2 years.
