Article Abstract
Background And Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum phosphate levels and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods And Results: The study sample consisted of 1657 T2DM patients hospitalized between 2017 and 2019. Patients were categorized into quartiles based on their serum phosphate levels (Q1-Q4). An increasing trend in the prevalence of DR was observed across these quartiles. Subsequently, logistic regression analysis was employed to adjust for potential confounders, such as gender, age, BMI, and duration of diabetes, and to evaluate the odds ratios (ORs) associated with these quartiles. The prevalence of DR showed an increasing trend with elevated serum phosphate levels. Logistic regression further confirmed that serum phosphate levels remain an independent risk factor for DR.
Conclusion: Elevated serum phosphate levels are closely associated with the prevalence of DR in hospitalized T2DM patients. Further studies are needed to establish causality. This trial is registered with chiCTR2000032374.

Objective: The changes in dietary behaviours and food choices during Ramadan lead to significant nutritional status alterations in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Routine dietary assessment may not capture disruptions in food behaviors of Muslim HD patients during Ramadan. This study aimed to elucidate changes in nutritional status affected by Ramadan food choices using a dietary pattern (DP) approach.

Wnt proteins are critical signaling molecules in developmental processes across animals. Despite intense study, their evolutionary roots have remained enigmatic. Using sensitive sequence analysis and structure modeling, we establish that the Wnts are part of a vast assemblage of domains, the Lipocone superfamily, defined here for the first time.

Background: Vitamin D modulates the immune response in many species, including dogs. To date, research investigating the immunological effects of vitamin D in dogs is limited to in vitro studies.
Objectives: Provide PO calcifediol supplementation to healthy dogs to evaluate its tolerability and assess its effect on leukocyte production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10.
