The majority of the researchers having worked on the psychology-nephrology agree to say that the stake in dialysis patient is lived as a major traumatism. Do we consequently have to understand that the announcement of the renal insufficiency accompanied with a medical follow-up indeed upstream to the stake in dialysis cannot require a preventive value? To arrest various stages in the progress of the person reached by a renal pathology helps us to understand in what way the psychic temporality is different from the real time. Doctors, nursing, psychologists seem sometimes amazed to notice that the patient did not integrate certain elements of reality, cannot hear, accept his condition to be sick whereas he has a crowd of information or what it was "warned". In supporting us of clinical examples, we advance the hypothesis according to which the fistula arterio-venous as first physical burglary seems too to be traumatic. We wonder if between two of the creation of the arterio-venous fistula and the stake in dialysis is a convenient moment to inform the patient and watch that he welcomes as good as possible the treatment.

Atomically thin 2D materials present the potential for advancing membrane separations via a combination of high selectivity (from molecular sieving) and high permeance (due to atomic thinness). However, the creation of a high density of precise nanopores (narrow-size-distribution) over large areas in 2D materials remains challenging, and nonselective leakage from nanopore heterogeneity adversely impacts performance. Here, we demonstrate protein-enabled size-selective defect sealing (PDS) for atomically thin graphene membranes over centimeter scale areas by leveraging the size and reactivity of permeating proteins to preferentially seal larger nanopores (≥4 nm) while preserving a significant amount of smaller nanopores (via steric hindrance).

Importance: Transplant can be a valuable treatment option for older adults with kidney failure, and recent initiatives encourage more frequent referral to transplant centers. However, the evaluation process can be challenging, and most older adults do not ultimately receive a kidney.

Objective: To elucidate the perspectives and experiences of older adults with advanced kidney disease and their family members regarding the kidney transplant evaluation process.

Article Synopsis
  • Peritoneal dialysis is a safe and cost-effective treatment for children with acute kidney injury, especially in low-income countries, but is often limited to tertiary healthcare facilities, like in Tanzania.
  • A case report highlights a 22-month-old boy who received urgent peritoneal dialysis after suffering kidney injury from a bee sting, albeit under risky conditions at a secondary health facility lacking proper resources.
  • The conclusion emphasizes the need for collaboration to enhance the availability and safety of peritoneal dialysis in lower-level facilities, as access to higher-tier hospitals is often insufficient and delayed.

Ethiopia's Tigray War: the agony of survival in kidney transplant recipients.

J Nephrol

September 2022

Nephrology Unit, College of Health Science, Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Mekelle University, Tigray, Ethiopia.

A war between the Ethiopian federal government and Tigray regional government broke out on November 4, 2020 and is still ongoing. Regardless of the cause of the war, the civilian populations, who have no agency in the fighting, have often been at the receiving end of atrocities. Eight months into the war, a siege was imposed in Tigray, barring the entry of all forms of humanitarian aid, including food and medicines.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine risk factors for blood transfusion in primary anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) performed for osteoarthritis.

Methods: Patients who underwent anatomic or reverse TSA for a diagnosis of primary osteoarthritis were identified in a national surgical database from 2005 to 2018 by utilizing both CPT and ICD-9/ICD-10 codes. Univariate analysis was performed on the two transfused versus non-transfused cohorts to compare for differences in comorbidities and demographics.
