Hemodialysis catheter outcomes pilot study: no dressing coverage with prescribed showering.

This six-month prospective, multi-site study incorporated no dressing coverage over hemodialysis central venous catheter exit sites and compared the outcomes of two groups of patients receiving incenter hemodialysis: a shower group and a non-shower group.

Does pausing ultrafiltration as a treatment for intradialytic hypotension cause backfiltration in hemodialysis?

Ultrafiltration is part of the hemodialysis procedure and can also be used exclusively to remove additional fluid in patients with fluid overload. Ultrafiltration that is too aggressive can result in hypotension, cramping, or other untoward effects. Temporarily pausing the ultrafiltration process is a technique used to help manage the adverse effects of rapid fluid removal.

Localization of deformed wing virus (DWV) in the brains of the honeybee, Apis mellifera Linnaeus.
