Meta AnalysisAssociation Between Klotho Gene Polymorphisms and Urolithiasis: A Meta-Analysis.
Former studies have suggested that urolithiasis is related to Klotho gene polymorphisms. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate this relationship. Studies on the association between urolithiasis susceptibility and Klotho gene polymorphisms were systematically searched for in databases. ⋯ The results showed that Klotho rs3752472 may not be related to urolithiasis risk in the Han Asian subgroup. Klotho rs564481 may not be related to urolithiasis risk in Asians or Caucasians, and Klotho rs650439 may not be related to urolithiasis risk in Asians. Key Words: Klotho, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Urolithiasis, Meta-analysis.

Evaluation of the Blood Urea Nitrogen-to-Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Ratio in Predicting Mortality in Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department with Heart Failure Symptoms.
Heart failure is a clinical syndrome. In this study, the significance of the blood urea nitrogen-to-left ventricular ejection fraction (BUNLVEF) ratio in predicting short-term mortality in patients with heart failure symptoms was evaluated. This retrospectively designed study was conducted by evaluating the records of patients with a history of heart failure who presented to the emergency department with heart failure symptoms and signs from 01 January 2018 to 01 January 2020. ⋯ Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and the BUNLVEF ratio had a significant relationship with mortality (p=0.004 and <0.010, respectively). In patients with a known history of heart failure presenting to the emergency department with heart failure symptoms, it would be more appropriate to evaluate poor outcomes with the BUNLVEF ratio rather than the LVEF or BUN value alone. Key Words: Blood urea nitrogen, Prognosis, Left ventricular dysfunction.
