“…The current outcome was in alignment with the research carried out by Aziz et al, [31] in Egypt, who documented that approximately two thirds of patients in the research were from rural regions. Similarly, research conducted by Elbadawy et al, [38] in Egypt, to determine the prevalence of common intestinal parasites under maintenance HD in Benha University; they found that above two thirds of the respondents resided in rural regions. Regarding medical data of patients studied, the present research demonstrated that a vast majority of such individuals were experiencing muscle pain and muscle cramp.…”

Background: Patients on hemodialysis suffer from a variety of stressors and psychological problems as sleep disorders and anxiety. Progressive muscle relaxation is one of nursing modalities that can be applied to patients undergoing hemodialysis to decrease these problems. Aim: Evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation technique on anxiety and sleep quality among hemodialysis patients. Research design:The aim of this study was achieved through utilizing a pre-posttest quasiexperimental research design. Sample: 60 adult patients with chronic renal failure who were receiving hemodialysis at the Minia University Hospital for Urology and Nephrology were chosen as a purposeful sample. Tools: Structured Interview Questionnaire Sheet, Beck Anxiety Inventory and Pittsburg Sleeping Quality Index were utilized in this research. Results: The global mean score of anxiety and sleep quality levels reduced immediately and post implementing the training program. Statistical significant positive correlation was observed between the global sleep quality and anxiety scores at the pre, immediate and post training program. Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation technique is an efficient method to mitigate anxiety and enhance quality of sleep for patients receiving hemodialysis. Recommendation: A training program should be applied for nephrology nurses to equip them with adequate knowledge and skills regarding how to integrate progressive muscle relaxation technique in their daily care for relieving the psychological consequences and reliance on pharmacological treatments.

“…This impairment results from disturbed normal renal functions and subsequent uremic toxins accumulation in patients' blood [10] . These toxins impair humoral and cellular immunity due to high B and T cell apoptosis with consequent lymphopenia, malfunction of the cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4 + ) T-cells, and decreased phagocytic ability of neutrophils and monocytes [13] .…”

Background: Toxoplasmosis is a universal opportunistic infection that causes severe complications in immunosuppressed patients. Renal failure is a state of immunodeficiency, especially in children. Therefore, hemodialysis patients may be at high risk for toxoplasmosis. Objective: To investigate the seropositivity rate of T. gondii specific antibodies (anti-T. gondii IgM and IgG antibodies) in pediatric hemodialysis patients. Subjects and Methods: ELISA was used to test serum samples from 67 children on regular hemodialysis and 50 healthy controls for anti-Toxoplasma IgG and IgM antibodies in this case-control research. Demographic criteria, duration of hemodialysis, and possible risk factors for toxoplasmosis were recorded. All participants were clinically examined to detect any signs suggestive of toxoplasmosis. Results: In comparison to total T. gondii seropositivity in all participants (23%), it was 16% and 28% in control and hemodialysis groups, respectively. The IgG antibodies were detected in 19 hemodialysis cases and eight control cases. The mean duration of hemodialysis among T. gondii seropositive and seronegative patients were 47.6±14.3 and 22.3±6.7 months, respectively. Among T. gondii seropositive individuals, the average duration of hemodialysis was substantially longer. In the examined groups, contact with cats and eating semi-cooked meat were the risk factors recorded for T. gondii seropositivity. Conclusion: Toxoplasmosis seropositivity rate was higher in hemodialysis children than in the control group. For early identification and treatment, T. gondii screening should be done for all hemodialysis patients before and during hemodialysis.
