Aim(s): This study aims to evaluate the workload of clinical nurses by measuring the work relative value (work RVU) of common nursing items based on the resource-based relative value scale in China.

Vascular Access for Home Hemodialysis: A Perspective on Tunneled Central Venous Catheters at Home.
Kidney Med
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Expansion of home hemodialysis (HHD) provides an opportunity to improve clinical outcomes, reduce cost of care, and address the staffing challenges currently faced in caring for patients with kidney failure on replacement therapy. To increase HHD expansion, current practices and barriers to home dialysis must be examined and addressed. One such barrier is vascular access for HHD; although tunneled hemodialysis central venous catheters (CVCs) have been used for decades, physicians still hesitate to send patients home without a mature, functional arteriovenous access.

However, some authors have raised concerns that this metabolic-centric framing may result in the underdiagnosis of metabolicdysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in lean individuals. The present study was carried out with the objective of describing metabolic characteristics in MASLD and the prevalence of lean MASLD in the general population.
