Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the nutrition knowledge questionnaire for ultra-endurance athletes (ULTRA-Q) for Brazil.

Faculdade de Ciências Aplicadas, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (FCA/UNICAMP), Limeira, São Paulo, Brazil.
Aims: This study aimed to perform a cross-cultural adaptation and validate a questionnaire to assess the nutrition knowledge of Brazilian ultra-endurance athletes.
Methods: This is an observational and cross-sectional study, which adapted and validated the Nutritional Knowledge Questionnaire for Ultra-endurance Athletes (ULTRA-Q). ULTRA-Q was translated into Portuguese, and then the translated version was assessed for semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalence by six specialist nutritionists.
The Delay of Recanalisation of Acutely Thrombosed Dialysis Arteriovenous Access Until the Next Workday has No Negative Impact on Clinical Outcome.

Purpose: The necessity of providing endovascular recanalization of acutely thrombosed arteriovenous access (AV access) during weekend is questionable, since hemodialysis can alternatively be achieved by temporarily placed non-tunneled central venous catheters (CVC). Interventional therapy of acutely thrombosed AV access is provided only on weekdays in the study center. This study aimed to compare outcomes in patients admitted on weekdays and on the weekend.

Article Synopsis
- The central venous catheter (CVC) has been in use for over 50 years, originally for total parenteral nutrition, but its applications have expanded to areas like chemotherapy and intensive care, accompanying increased complications.
- Despite guidelines for safe CVC insertion, the risks associated with CVC removal have been overlooked, leading to potential complications such as air embolism, airway obstruction, and neurological issues.
- A case is presented where a CVC was improperly placed in the epidural space, resulting in arterial bleeding and neurological deterioration after its removal, necessitating emergency interventions.
Background: Preventing central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) remains a critical national focus for health care facilities. This notion is particularly true for patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), where the associated mortality rates for HD-CLABSI range from 12% to 25%. Studies show that the use of central venous catheter (CVC) end caps coated with antiseptic agents, such as chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) on HD-CVCs, can reduce the incidence of CLABSIs.

Background: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are a potential complication for home parenteral nutrition (HPN) patients.
Aim: We sought to analyse risk factors of developing HPN-related CLABSI and assess CLABSI management in the Australian context.
Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted on 34 adult patients receiving HPN via a central venous catheter (CVC) at a Queensland tertiary referral centre between 2016 and 2023.
