Comparison of clinical characteristics between the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and non-PPI groups.

<p>The proton pump inhibitor (PPI) group had significantly lower levels of serum (magnesium) Mg (A) than those of the non-PPI group. Median values of ΔACIs in the patients on PPIs, histamine-2 receptor (H2) antagonist, and non-acid reducer were 5.0% (2.5–9.8), 5.0% (1.7–8.3), and 3.3% (0.4–5.0), respectively. There was no significant deference in ΔACI between patients on PPIs and those on H2-receptor antagonist (B).</p

Vojtech Lanna: Image of Enterpriser in First Phase of Instrustry Revolution

This Thesis is a contribution to the research of Entrepreneurship and its impact on process of historical change. The paper focuses on life and career of the South Bohemian Entrepreneur, Industrialist and Patron Vojtěch (Adalbert) Lanna. By examining his life it is possible to explore wider social processes leading to fundamental social change, based on switching from feudal to modern arrangement of state and society. Vojtěch Lanna begins his career, like many of his ancestors, as a salt carrier. Later he manages to run his own business, based on river transportation and water engineering, which allowes him to accumulate enough capital to enter other industrial sectors. During his later life he participates on to the construction of railways, later he focuses on coal mining. His biggest achievements is building of modern ironworks named Vojtěšská huť. Throughout his life he runs many other business that are related to his main lifelong activities. He is also known for his charity and a humane approach. He supports education, music and art. His life and his business activities is a reflection of the economic development of the first half and the beginning of the second half of 19th century

Clinical characteristics of the high and low ΔACI groups.

<p>Clinical characteristics of the high and low ΔACI groups.</p

Patient selection and classification.

<p>We treated 245 hemodialysis (HD) patients who underwent 3–4 h of HD sessions thrice a week. Among these patients, 45 patients were excluded from the analyses. Ultimately, 200 patients on HD were included and divided into the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and non-PPI groups.</p

Comparison of clinical characteristics between the high and low ΔACI groups.

<p>The high ΔACI group (≥ 5.8%) had a significantly higher number of PPI (A) than in the low ΔACI group (< 5.8%). Annual mean serum magnesium (Mg) level (B) was significantly lower in the high ΔACI than in the low ΔACI group. Hemodialysis (HD) vintage (C) was significantly shorter in the high ΔACI than in the low ΔACI group.</p

Independent risk factors for high ΔACI using the backward elimination logistic regression analysis.

<p>Annual mean calcium phosphorus product (Ca × P) >55, abdominal aortic calcification index in 2016 (ACI-2016) >42%, hemodialysis (HD) vintage <60 months, baseline serum magnesium (Mg) <2.2 mg/dL, and Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were independent factors associated with high ΔACI. The propensity score was adopted to include patient backgrounds (age, sex, DMN, current smoking, history of CVD, antiplatelet agents, and systolic blood pressure) and baseline values of laboratory data (serum albumin, CRP, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels) as a single variable for multivariate analysis. We also included annual mean Kt/V >1.44, Histamine -2 (H2)-receptor antagonist, warfarin, annual mean intact PTH (i-PTH), and the propensity score into regression models.</p

Patient selection and study design.

<p>We performed radical cystectomy and urinary diversion in 345 consecutive adult patients in our hospital. Of these, 115 patients with more than a 5-year follow-up were identified. Forty-seven patients were included the incontinent diversion group (ileal conduit or cutaneous ureterostomy), and 68 were included in the continent group (orthotopic ileal neobladder). Sixty-eight of these patients (<i>n</i> = 34 each) were selected using the propensity score matching method.</p
