Nursing Care and Postgraduate Education of Nephrology and Dialysis Nurses in Italy.
G Ital Nefrol
October 2024
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Pieve Emanuele, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with chronic kidney disease require specialized care, and nephrology and dialysis nurses need advanced skills to meet these needs effectively.
- A review of post-graduate training in nephrology nursing in Italy highlights that education is primarily through Master's programs, focusing on essential topics like renal disease and dialysis care, though there's variation in other subjects.
- The study emphasizes the importance of combining field-based clinical training with standardized academic programs to improve nursing competencies and ensure high-quality patient care.
Assessment of muscle fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients in electromyographic examinations.
Eur J Phys Rehabil Med

Department of Functional Diagnostics and Physical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Pomeranian Medical University, Szczecin, Poland -
Background: Although surface electromyography (sEMG) is the method used to assess muscle fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), no pattern of signal change has been established. The differences shown in the parameters of other neurophysiological tests between PwMS and control groups (CG) suggest the differentiation of the sEMG signal.
Aim: The purpose of the study was to verify potential differences in the fatigue sEMG signal in PwMS compared to CG.
Analysis of Vibration Frequency and Direction for Facilitating Upper-Limb Muscle Activity.

Master Program in Long-Term Care, College of Nursing, Taipei Medical University, Taipei 11031, Taiwan, R.O.C..
We aimed to determine the effect of vibration frequency and direction on upper-limb muscle activation using a handheld vibrator. We recruited 19 healthy participants who were instructed to hold a handheld vibrator in their dominant hand and maintain the elbow at 90° flexion, while vertical and horizontal vibrations were applied with frequencies of 15, 30, 45, and 60 Hz for 60 s each. Surface electromyography (EMG) measured the activities of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS), flexor carpi radialis (FCR), extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU), extensor carpi radialis (ECR), biceps, triceps, and deltoid anterior muscles.

February 2021
Department of Radiology, Charité-Universitätsmedizin, Charitéplatz 1, 10117, Berlin, Germany.
Objectives: To evaluate differences in collagen density as detected by dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) of wrist ligaments between patients with calcium pyrophosphate-dihydrate deposition disease (CPPD) and a control group in order to gain insight into changes of the extracellular matrix in response to crystal deposition.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 28 patients (18 with CPPD, 10 controls) who underwent DECT of the wrist. Collagen density maps were reconstructed from the DECT datasets and used to measure densities in regions of interest (ROIs) placed in the scapholunate (SL) ligament (dorsal, palmar, proximal), lunotriquetral (LT) ligament, and extensor carpi radialis (ECR) tendon, (n = 260 measurements).
Investigating the association between physicians self-efficacy regarding communication skills and risk of "burnout".

Hematology Unit and Chair, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria di Modena and Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy.
Background: Breaking bad news (BBN) may be associated with increasing risk of burnout in practising physicians. However, there is little research on the association between the way bad news is broken and burnout. We investigated the association between physicians' self-efficacy regarding communication to patients and risk of burnout.
