Cork-Derived Carbon Sheets for High-Performance Na-Ion Capacitors.

S-doped carbon sheets have been easily prepared by deconstructing the 3D cellular structure of a fully sustainable and renewable biomass material such as cork through a mild ball-milling process. S-doping of the material (>14 wt % S) has been achieved by using sulfur as an earth-abundant, cost-effective, and environmentally benign S-dopant. Such synthesized materials provide large Na storage capacities in the range of 300-550 mAh g at 0.

AN OVERVIEW OF NURSES' MANAGEMENT OF SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM: HOW IS EUROPE DOING?

Background: Nurses have an important role to play in the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). An online survey conducted by the European Dialysis and Transplant Nurses Association/European Renal Care Association (EDTNA/ERCA) in conjunction with Amgen (Europe) GmbH surveyed nephrology nurses' knowledge of secondary hyperparathyroidism, treatment targets, current treatments, patient adherence and nephrology nurse training education needs. The survey's aim was to establish common practices being used by nurses in the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism and to identify nephrology nurses' training and educational needs in order to improve patient care.

Management of hyperphosphataemia: practices and perspectives amongst the renal care community.

Background: Protein-rich foods are a major source of dietary phosphorus; therefore, helping patients to increase their dietary protein intake, while simultaneously managing their hyperphosphataemia, poses a significant challenge for renal care professionals.

Objectives: To examine the clinical recommendations and practice perceptions of renal care professionals providing nutrition and phosphate control advice to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods: Renal care professionals from four European countries completed an online survey on the clinical management of hyperphosphataemia.
