Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy and safety of low-dose aspirin on preventing transplant renal artery stenosis: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a vascular complication after kidney transplantation associated with poor outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of low-dose aspirin for preventing TRAS. ⋯ Clinical application of low-dose aspirin after renal transplant could prevent the development of TRAS with no significant increase in adverse effects.

Effects of visual restoration on gait performance and kinematics of lower extremities in patients with age-related cataract.
Visual inputs are critical for locomotor navigation and sensorimotor integration in the elderly; however, the mechanism needs to be explored intensively. The present study assessed the gait pattern after cataract surgery to investigate the effects of visual restoration on locomotion. ⋯ The accelerated gait in response to visual restoration is characterized by decreased stance time and increased range of joint motion. Training programs for improving muscle strength of lower extremities might be helpful to facilitate the adaptation to these changes in gait.
