• Bacterial Resistance in Blood Infections Among Dialysis Patients
  • Published in Scientific Reports (October 2022), this study examined microbial resistance patterns in bloodstream infections among dialysis patients. The findings underscored the urgent need for stricter antibiotic management protocols to address this growing challenge.
• Chronic Itching and Sleep Quality in Dialysis Patients
  • Published in BMC Nephrology (June 2022), this research explored the link between chronic itching in dialysis patients and their sleep quality, highlighting the necessity for effective anti-itch medications to improve sleep patterns.
• Nutritional Status and Quality of Life in Diabetic Dialysis Patients
  • Published in Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition (July 2021), this study examined how nutrition influences the quality of life in diabetic patients with kidney failure, showing that malnutrition exacerbates the effects of diabetes and kidney failure.
• Impact of Pain on the Quality of Life of Dialysis Patients
  • Published in Health Quality of Life Outcomes (February 2021), this study demonstrated how chronic pain significantly deteriorates patients’ quality of life, emphasizing the need for medical and pharmacological interventions to manage pain effectively.
• Patient Adherence to Treatment in Dialysis Patients
  • Published in BMC Nephrology (May 2017), this study analyzed factors influencing patient adherence to treatment recommendations, showing that following prescribed dietary plans and attending regular therapy sessions greatly improves patient health.
• Use of Alternative Medicine in Dialysis Patients
  • Published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (July 2016), this research investigated the impact of alternative medicine on dialysis patients, finding that many rely on herbal and traditional remedies. The study emphasized the need for proper patient guidance on the safe use of such treatments.
• Factors Affecting Quality of Life in Dialysis Patients
  • Published in BMC Nephrology (April 2016), this research explored how treatment adherence, social and psychological conditions impact the well-being and quality of life of dialysis patients.
