The Role of Fetuin-A in Cardiovascular Calcification Insights from Hemodialysis Patients
IntroductionCardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality among patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), particularly those undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). One potential contributing factor is cardiovascular calcification (CVC), which includes both vascular and valvular calcification. Fetuin-A, a liver-derived glycoprotein known to inhibit calcium-phosphate deposition, has been hypothesized to play a role in preventing these…

Exploring the Link: Carotidynia and Cancer Treatment
Introduction Carotidynia is a rare, idiopathic condition characterized by localized neck pain and tenderness over the carotid artery. A recent case report investigates a potential correlation between carotidynia and cancer treatment involving paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). Could these treatments trigger this condition? This article summarizes key findings from the study and their…
