Toward acid- and heparin-free dialysis: the regional anticoagulation approach.

Background: In chronic intermittent hemodialysis, heparin is the standard anticoagulant as is the use of acid-containing dialysate. Regional anticoagulation (RA) with a calcium-free, citrate-containing dialysate has been developed. We compared RA using a calcium-free, citrate-free dialysate, routinely used in our center, versus systemic heparinization.

Kidney involvement in myelodysplastic syndromes.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to describe kidney involvement in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), their treatments, and outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study in seven centers, identifying MDS patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and urine abnormalities.

Results: Fifteen patients developed a kidney disease 3 months after MDS diagnosis.

The question of screening organ donors for hepatitis e virus: a case report of transmission by kidney transplantation in France and a review of the literature.

Background: Hepatitis E is a potentially serious infection in organ recipients, with an estimated two-thirds of cases becoming chronic, and with a subsequent risk of cirrhosis and death. In Europe, transmission occurs most often through the consumption of raw or undercooked pork, more rarely through blood transfusion, but also after solid organ transplantation. Here we describe a case of Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection transmitted following kidney transplantation and review the literature describing cases of HEV infection transmitted by solid organ transplantation.

[Geographical access to hemodialysis: an analysis of patient choices].

Introduction: Patients do not always go to the facility closest to their home.

Description: A study was carried out in Provence-Alpes Côtes d'Azur (PACA) on patients' preferences to mobilize the hemodialysis offer.

Methods: The data were extracted from the REIN Registry.

Towards large scale integration of MoS/graphene heterostructure with ALD-grown MoS.

In the pursuit of ultrathin and highly sensitive photodetectors, a promising approach involves leveraging the combination of light-sensitive two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides, such as MoSand the high electrical conductivity of graphene. Over the past decade, exfoliated 2D materials and electron-beam lithography have been used extensively to demonstrate feasibility on single devices. But for these devices to be used in the real-world systems, it is necessary to demonstrate good device performance similar to lab-based devices with repeatability of the results from device to device and a path to large scale manufacturing.
