Aim: Hypervolemia is an important factor for the development of cardiac failure in end-stage renal disease. The aims of this study are to evaluate whether collapsibility index (CI) is a useful method to assess the volume status in children on haemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and to test whether the small amounts of fluid removed after a single dialysis exchange will be reflected by a change in CI in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Methods: Sixteen CAPD, nine HD patients aged from 5 to 18 years and 27 age- and sex-matched healthy children were enrolled in the study. Inferior vena cava diameters were measured from subxiphoidal long axis position in 2 cm to its junction to right atrium and CI were calculated.
Results: The collapsibility index was significantly lower in HD patients before HD and in the CAPD group before dialysate exchange when compared with the controls. No significant difference was found between the CAPD and HD groups. We observed significant increase in CI after HD, CI values reached nearly to control levels after HD. Ultrafiltrate was 1.93 +/- 0.98 kg in HD, 0.23 +/- 0.09 kg in the CAPD group. Although the change in CI values before and after dialysate exchange was significant in the CAPD group, there was still a significant difference between the CI values of the control group and the CAPD patients after dialysate exchange.
Conclusion: We suggest that serial measurements of CI in children will be a useful guide to assess the volume changes in an individual instead of a single measurement.

Background: Improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is one of the main goals in managing stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, limited evidence compares HRQoL between continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) in children. This open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare HRQoL in pediatric patients with stage 5 CKD receiving CAPD vs.

Background Reliable, precise, timely, and clear documentation of diagnoses is difficult. Poor specificity or the absence of diagnostic documentation can lead to decreased revenue and increased payor denials, audits, and queries to providers.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between language impairments and central auditory processing difficulties in children with self-limited epilepsy characterized by centrotemporal spikes, examining how these issues relate to seizure timing and neuropsychiatric aspects.
- Two groups of patients based on seizure timing underwent various assessments, revealing that both groups performed significantly worse on auditory processing tests compared to healthy controls, with some differences in expressive language scores.
- Findings indicate that children experiencing seizures at night may show more behavioral issues and impulsivity compared to those with seizures in the morning, highlighting the complex interactions between epilepsy, language, and neuropsychiatric functioning.
