Taking it into consideration, the present study is taken up to know the impact of Arham purushakar meditation on the overall well-being of patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Material and Methods: 175 chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis were selected as the base line cases and a follow up of 12 months, 17 months and 21 months is done, to know the impact of Arham purushakar meditation on the overall well-being of the hemodialysis patients. The study was carried out after taking the approval of the Ethics Committee of Bhagwan Mahavir Medical Research Centre, and written consent from the patients for participation in the study.

The very finding of decreased cortical thickness, as well as declining cognitive function in patients with ESRD, should prompt us to think about managing kidney problems as soon as they start since they can lead to impaired cognitive status and debilitating mental conditions overtime which ultimately leads to death [1, 2]. It is therefore very important for us to start evaluating and detecting brain abnormalities in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have no apparent neurological symptoms which will help us improve the prognosis of patients with ESRD and may lead to a significant reduction in death rates associated with it.

However, the impact of smoking on the outcomes of urothelial carcinoma patients remains poorly investigated. Current evidence proves that cigarette smoking increases the risk of disease recurrence and potentially disease progression in patients with urothelial carcinoma of bladder. Current and heavy long-term smokers seem to be at the greatest risk. The majority of retrospective studies found an association between smoking status as well as cumulative exposure and disease recurrence in patients treated with TURB. The evidence for association with disease progression was less abundant. There are insufficient data investigating the impact on cancer-specific and overall survival in patients with bladder cancer. The impact of smoking with outcomes of T1 UCB or high risk disease, patients receiving intravesical therapies is limited because of a lack of data and controversial findings. Long-term smoking cessation seems to mitigate the detrimental effects of smoking in non-muscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer.","PeriodicalId":72287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of nephrology and urology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69344616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
