Clin Spine Surg
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Summary Of Background Data: The optimal surgical approach for multilevel cervical stenosis in elderly patients is controversial because of the risk of life-threatening complication.
Objective: To compare life-threatening early complication rates between ≥3 levels anterior and posterior cervical surgery in elderly patients.
Psychometric properties of the Greek simplified medication adherence questionnaire among Iranian hemodialysis patients.
Sci Rep
November 2024
Student Research Committee, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran.
Patients suffering from chronic kidney failure ultimately need kidney replacement therapies, such as hemodialysis. Adherence to treatment in these patients can play a central role in improving health levels and feelings of well-being. The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the modified version of the Greek Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire in hemodialysis patients.

- Kinesiophobia, an irrational fear of movement, is common among peritoneal dialysis patients and affects their quality of life.
- A study involving 291 patients showed a prevalence rate of 69.1%, with average kinesiophobia scores indicating mild fear-avoidance behavior.
- Protective factors include no complications, prior daily exercise, and positive coping styles, while fatigue and negative coping strategies increase risk; targeted interventions are recommended to address this issue.
Automation and innovation in home hemodialysis machines.
Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens
January 2025
Division of Kidney Diseases & Hypertension, George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA.
Purpose Of Review: In this review, we discuss the timeline of innovation and technologic development in home hemodialysis (HHD) in the United States and the legislative approvals that accompanied them.
Recent Findings: The most recently FDA-approved home hemodialysis devices provide features that include on-demand and batch dialysate generation, access disconnect for venous needle dislodgement, touchscreen interface with visual and auditory prompts and animations, drop-in sterilized cartridges with prestrung tubing, hot water disinfection of tubing allowing extended-use, dialysate flow rates as high as 500 ml/min, as well as remote treatment monitoring capabilities. Furthermore, wearable/portable dialysis devices are currently under development to simplify dialysis delivery to patients with end-stage kidney disease.
Construction of frailty and risk prediction models in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional study.
Front Med (Lausanne)
October 2024
School of Educational Science, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu, China.
Objective: As the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive nephropathy increases with age in mainland China, the number of patients with end-stage renal disease is increasing, leading to an increase in the number of patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Considering the harmful effects of frailty on the health of maintenance hemodialysis patients, this study aims to identify hemodialysis patients at risk for frailty at an early stage, in order to prevent or delay the progression of frailty in the early stage, so as to prevent the adverse consequences of frailty.
Methods: A total of 479 patients admitted to the blood purification centers of two grade tertiary hospitals in Anhui Province, China, using convenient sampling.
