Social connectedness, defined as a sense of belonging and inclusion among individuals and groups, is crucial for the well-being of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients. This perspective employs a hypothetical case study to highlight the risks of social isolation and loneliness faced by ESKD patients. It offers guidance on how the ESKD community can effectively address these challenges.

- There's a growing population of older adults with kidney disease, but there's not enough evidence to help improve their clinical care, prompting the KDARC to conduct a study on research priorities in geriatric nephrology.
- The study used a modified Delphi approach involving clinicians and researchers in the US and Canada to gather and prioritize important research topics for better care of older adults with kidney issues.
- Five key research priorities were identified: improving communication about treatment options, enhancing quality of life and symptom management, addressing frailty, tailoring therapies for older adults, and providing caregiver support, all underlined by the importance of health equity and patient-centered care.
Studies suggest heterogeneity in cancer cachexia (CC) among models and biological sexes, yet examinations comparing models and sexes are scarce. We compared the transcriptional landscape of skeletal muscle across murine CC models and biological sexes during early and late CC. Global gene expression analyses were performed on gastrocnemius [Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC)], quadriceps (KPC-pancreatic), and tibialis anterior [Colon-26 (C26)-colorectal and ] muscles across biological sexes.
