Patient-physician communication in advanced kidney disease: a narrative review.
J Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, Loma Linda University Medical Center, Loma Linda, CA, USA.
The increasing prevalence of kidney failure highlights the crucial need for effective patient-physician communication to improve health-related quality of life and ensure adherence to treatment plans. This narrative review evaluates communication practices in the context of advanced kidney disease, focusing on the frameworks of shared decision-making, advanced care planning, and communication skills training among nephrologists. The findings highlight the significant gaps in patient-physician communication, particularly in the domains of advanced care planning, shared decision-making, and dialysis withdrawal.

Clinical Research Institute, Institute of Advanced Clinical Medicine, Peking University, Beijing, China (X.Z., W.X., Y.W.).
Background: Although the information on the validation status of electronic sphygmomanometer (ES) devices in use in health care institutions and households is much more clinically relevant than that of ES models available on the market, it remains insufficient.
Methods: A national survey was conducted across all administrative regions of mainland China to assess the validation status of ESs. Fifty-eight cities were selected with stratification by municipality, provincial capital, and other cities, and health care institutions and households in each city were chosen by convenience to identify ES devices in use according to the study protocol.

Introduction: Community-based overdose prevention sites (OPS) are recognized for reducing overdose deaths and the spread of HIV and hepatitis C among people who use drugs (PWUD). While some hospitals in Europe and Canada have successfully integrated OPS into their facilities, such integration remains illegal in the United States. This study explores the feasibility and acceptability of implementing an OPS at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), situated in an urban area with high rates of overdose.

J ECT

From the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology, Center for Behavioral Health, Neurological Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is commonly done using a 2-channel EEG in order to capture activity from both brain hemispheres, though many institutions may instead opt to utilize a 1-channel EEG, often for reasons of convenience. We present a novel case of asymmetric termination of EEG seizure activity during an acute course of right unilateral ECT, prompting a full neurological workup to investigate potential underlying structural or physiological causative factors. This case assists in informing the necessity of bilateral hemispheric EEG monitoring as well as highlights the importance of searching for undiagnosed or latent neurological dysfunction in certain clinical situations arising during ECT.
