Leaflets inside drug boxes are complex and often poorly understood. Patients consulting in nephrology are mostly old and often suffer from multiple comorbidities. As so, they are often subject to various contra-indications and drug interactions.

- Recent advancements in managing chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders have been linked to improved outcomes for patients undergoing kidney transplantation.
- A retrospective study compared two groups of kidney transplant patients from different time frames, revealing significant improvements in vitamin D levels and reductions in hyperparathyroidism in the more recent group.
- The incidence of fractures within the first year post-transplant significantly decreased in the newer group, dropping from 9.1% to 3.1%, indicating better bone health management following kidney transplantation.
Objective: To investigate micronutrient supply in phenylketonuria (PKU) patients on a relaxed diet.
Subjects/methods: Sixty-seven patients (6-45 years) with a phenylalanine tolerance ≥ 600 mg/day were included in the study. From a 3-day diet record, protein supply as well as consumption of essential amino acids and several micronutrients were assessed and compared with the current recommendations and data for the healthy population.
Several metal-organic framework (MOF) materials were under investigated to test their applicability as sensor materials for impedimetric gas sensors. The materials were tested in a temperature range of 120 °C - 240 °C with varying concentrations of O(2), CO(2), C(3)H(8), NO, H(2), ethanol and methanol in the gas atmosphere and under different test gas humidity conditions. Different sensor configurations were studied in a frequency range of 1 Hz -1 MHz and time-continuous measurements were performed at 1 Hz.
