The effect of perceived organisational justice on job satisfaction and burnout levels of haemodialysis nurses.

Background: Organisational justice influences job satisfaction, the performance of individuals and the functioning of institutions. The lack of evidence-based studies investigating the relationship between hemodialysis nurses' perceptions of organisational justice, job satisfaction and burnout has created a research gap in this area.

Objective: To investigate the effect of perceived organisational justice on professional satisfaction and burnout levels of haemodialysis nurses and to identify any relation ship with individual and organisational factors.

Association of vitamin D receptor gene TaqI, FokI and ApaI variants with arteriovenous fistula failure in hemodialysis patients.

Purpose: We investigated the influence of the vitamin D receptor gene TaqI (rs731236), ApaI (rs7975232), and FokI (rs2228570) polymorphisms in arteriovenous fistula failure in hemodialysis patients.

Methods: This study was carried out with 54 patients who experienced two or more fistula failures in the late period after arteriovenous fistula operation and 58 control patients with no history of arteriovenous fistula failure in 3 years or longer. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method was used to determine the vitamin D receptor TaqI, FokI, and ApaI polymorphisms.

Prevalence of Fabry Disease in Familial Mediterranean Fever Patients from Central Anatolia of Turkey.

Fabry disease (FD) is a progressive, X-linked inherited disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism due to deficient or absent lysosomal alpha-galactosidase A (AGALA) activity. FD and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) have typical clinical similarities, and both diseases may progress to end-stage renal diseases. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of FD in patients with FMF from Central Anatolia of Turkey.
