Observational StudyEffect of the Mediterranean diet in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria often want to be informed about dietary modifications. There have been many studies evaluating dietary approaches in chronic spontaneous urticaria. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and chronic spontaneous urticaria. ⋯ We reported that adherence to the Mediterranean diet may be an independent factor that decreases the risk of chronic spontaneous urticaria. It may also reduce the severity of chronic spontaneous urticaria symptoms.

Anxiety and depression scores in patients subjected to aortic and iliac aneurysm repair procedures.
This study examines the changes in anxiety and depression scores of 84 patients subjected to aortic or iliac aneurysm correction with no previous psychiatric history. ⋯ Patients subjected to aortoiliac aneurysm corrections have a higher incidence of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Anxiety symptoms, but not the depressive ones, improved considerably following the successful treatment. The formal psychiatric evaluation may be beneficial for patients with less improvement in the symptom.

Study on the changes of blood glucose in hemodialysis patients with diabetes.
The aims of this study were to observe the regularity of blood glucose changes in hemodialysis patients with diabetes, time of onset of hypoglycemia and blood glucose level during dialysis, and to explore the sensitive early warning indicators of hypoglycemia in dialysis patients. ⋯ For hemodialysis patients with diabetes, attention should be paid to the symptoms of hypoglycemia during dialysis, and blood glucose should be monitored before dialysis and after 1-2 h of dialysis. If the blood glucose drop percentage is greater than 37.7%, the timely measures should be taken.
