This study demonstrates that the inflammatory biomarker PCT is further elevated in the presence of both AF and a history of sepsis in hemodialysis patients and suggests that underlying chronic inflammation following sepsis resolution may place these patients at greater risk of developing AF.The current coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic presents a huge challenge for health-care systems worldwide. Many different risk factors are associated with disease severity, such as older age, diabetes, hypertension, and most recently obesity. The incidence of obesity has been on the rise for the past 25 years, reaching over 2 billion people throughout the world, and obesity itself could be considered a pandemic. In this review, we summarize aspects involved with obesity, such as changes in the immune response, nutritional factors, physiological factors, and the gut-lung axis, that impact the viral response and the COVID-19 prognosis.Central venous access devices (CVADs) have completely changed the care for patients who require long-term venous access. With the widespread use of CVADs, the incidence of catheter-related thrombus (CRT) has increased. Catheter-related thrombus is a common complication in patients who use CVADs and is mainly caused by endothelial injury, blood stasis, and hypercoagulability. In recent years, the correlations between oxidative stress (OS) and microRNA (miRNA) and CRT have become a hot topic in clinical research. When a catheter punctures the vessel wall, it causes OS damage to the vascular endothelial cells, leading to a series of CRT diseases. MicroRNAs can regulate the mechanism of thrombus and play an important role in the formation of anti-thrombus. Numerous studies have shown that resistance exercise can reduce the level of OS in vascular endothelial cells, inhibit vascular endoth
