Article Synopsis
- Gastrointestinal severe adverse events like ulceration and perforation have been linked to polystyrene sulfonate and sevelamer, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease, but the exact cause is unclear.* -
- A meta-analysis of existing research found that polystyrene sulfonate is significantly more likely to cause severe issues such as necrosis or perforation compared to sevelamer (p < 0.001).* -
- The findings indicate that while sevelamer may cause inflammation or ulceration, polystyrene sulfonate is more strongly associated with severe outcomes, including a higher risk of death (p < 0.001).*
Navigating the normativity of behaviour settings: an observational case study.
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci

Traditionally, sensitivity to situational norms is understood as deriving from internal cognitive states that represent the rules for appropriate conduct. On an alternative view, norms are 'out there', in the practices and situations themselves, without being duplicated in the head. However, what does normativity look like when it is performed by people engaging with a concrete situation? A 'behaviour setting' offers a window onto these dynamics.

- Antibiotic prophylaxis (AB) reduces bacteriuria after invasive urodynamics (UDS) but does not significantly lower urinary tract infection (UTI) rates; guidelines for AB use in high-risk patients remain unclear.
- A systematic review and expert consensus via a modified Delphi method identified key patient categories at risk for UTIs and proposed 16 statements regarding AB use.
- The panel of 57 experts largely agreed (56.25%) on the necessity of AB for patients with neurogenic bladder and immunosuppression, while advising against AB for several other factors such as menopausal status and diabetes.
