- * Researchers performed a retrospective analysis on 116 HD patients, finding that 32.7% had persistent aPL positivity, which was significantly linked to AVF maturation failure, independent of other complications like stenosis.
- * The findings suggest for the first time a strong connection between aPL positivity and delayed or inadequate maturation of native AVFs, highlighting potential clinical implications for managing HD patients.
Pulmonary congestion (PC) is common in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We explored the association of anemia and pulmonary congestion in HD patients. A prospective pilot observational study included 18 patients on maintenance HD.

- Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) is an interstitial lung condition caused by inhaling beryllium particles, and it can often be confused with sarcoidosis but has distinct characteristics and complications.
- A case involving a 60-year-old man revealed multi-organ involvement, with his kidney issues stemming from CBD rather than typical pulmonary symptoms, which were relatively mild.
- The report emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider CBD as a potential diagnosis in patients exhibiting granulomatous diseases, especially when they present with related respiratory issues, despite the absence of classical lung symptoms.
Background: Chemotherapy-induced alopecia is a common consequence of cancer treatment with a high psychological impact on patients and can be prevented by scalp cooling (SC). With this multi-center patient series, we examined the results for multiple currently used chemotherapy regimens to offer an audit into the real-world determinants of SC efficacy.
Materials And Methods: The Dutch Scalp Cooling Registry collected data on 7424 scalp-cooled patients in 68 Dutch hospitals.
