On top of that, it was important to acknowledge the conceptual framework underlying the complexity of needs, for the development in future research of an early identification of caregiver's information needs assessment tool. This preliminary study will allow to define the dimensions on which to measure caregiver needs and the quality of care provided to the patients and their families.

With only a handful of compounds known, opportunities to explore the structure and reactivity of dialumenes and related dialumene adducts have been limited. For the first time, a series of dialumene-arene adducts have been synthesised; adduct formation has been probed experimentally and through DFT, and their reactivity investigated.

Because AVF is a guarantee of survival for these patients, proper surgical packing and a timely follow-up program is crucial. Although a good objective examination of the limb site of FAV provides useful information both in planning the fistula surgery and in its surveillance and monitoring, it is now well established that the advent of instrumental diagnostics (ultrasonography, digital angiography, Angio-TC, MRI) has contributed significantly to improving primary and secondary patency of FAV and early diagnosis of vascular access complications.
