Rationale & Objective: Engaging patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) in goals of care (GOC) conversations is essential to align life-sustaining treatments with patient preferences. This pilot study described the feasibility of engaging older Veterans with advanced CKD in GOC conversations via telehealth by (1) comparing patient characteristics, including life-sustaining treatment note completion rates and preferences by visit modality, and (2) exploring Veteran and clinician perspectives surrounding telehealth GOC conversations.
Study Design: Mixed-method convergent design including a prospective, quantitative observational cohort analysis (n = 40) and qualitative, semi-structured interviews with 4 clinicians and 11 Veterans.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with BRAF V600E mutations is responsive to targeted therapies, such as dabrafenib and trametinib. However, these treatments can lead to serious adverse events, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Herein, we report the case of a 75-year-old man with stage IVB NSCLC and a BRAF V600E mutation who developed severe CRS, manifesting hepatic and renal dysfunction, following treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib.

A growing body of evidence suggests the involvement of long noncoding ribose nucleic acids (lncRNAs) in acute kidney injury (AKI). This study focused on the mechanistic role of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-mediated AKI. A model of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) was created using human kidney cells (HK-2).
