Providing home hemodialysis (HHD) therapy is a complex process that not only requires the use of a complex technology but also involves a diverse group of stakeholders, and each stakeholder has their requirements and may not share a common interest. Bringing them together will require the alignment of their interests. A process management perspective can help to accomplish the alignment of their interests. To align their interests, it is crucial to identify interest groups and understand their interests. The main objective of this paper is to identify the stakeholders and represents their interests as a list of requirements in the HHD process. An extensive literature review has been carried out and PubMed was used for literature extraction. In total, 1848 articles were retrieved of which 80 have fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A large array of actors is identified and their interests/requirements at different stages of the HHD process are represented in the form of a list. They have both common and conflicting requirements in the HHD process. If these requirements are aligned and balanced, a stakeholder's driven treatment process will be developed and a real improvement will be achieved in the treatment process.

Objectives: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a key biomedical intervention for ending the HIV epidemic in the United States, but its uptake is impeded by systemic barriers, including fragmented workflows and ineffective data coordination. This study aims to design PrEPLinker, a blockchain-based, client-centered platform to enhance care to address these challenges by improving care coordination and enabling clients to securely manage their identity and PrEP-related data.

Materials And Methods: Using Houston, Texas, as a use case, we conducted a needs assessment with PrEP collaborators to evaluate existing workflows and identify barriers in the PrEP care continuum.

Unlabelled: Strength data can help in guiding the return to sports (RTS) process in patients after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). There is need for a fast, cheap, and portable method to monitor muscle strength in patients after ACLR in an ambulatory stetting. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to assess the use of a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) to monitor hamstring and quadriceps strength after ACLR and to assess the changes over time in patients tested at 3, 6 and 9 months after ACLR.

Introduction: Differentiating hypertensive heart disease (HHD) from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is crucial yet challenging due to overlapping clinical and morphological features. Recent studies have explored the use of various cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters to distinguish between these conditions, but findings have remained inconclusive. This study aims to identify which CMR parameters effectively discriminate between HHD and HCM and to investigate their underlying pathophysiological mechanisms through a meta-analysis.

Is the cost of the new home dialysis techniques still advantageous compared to in-center hemodialysis? An Italian single center analysis and comparison with experiences from western countries.

Introduction: Potential advantages of home dialysis remained a questionable issue. Three main factors have to be considered: the progressive reduction in the cost of consumables for in-Center hemodialysis (IC-HD), the widespread use of incremental Peritoneal Dialysis (PD), and the renewed interest in home hemodialysis (H-HD) in the pandemic era. Registries data on prevalence of dialysis modalities generally report widespread underemployment of home dialysis despite PD and H-HD could potentially provide clinical benefits, improve quality of life, and contrast the diffusion of new infection among immunocompromised patients.

Cerebrospinal fluid biomarker profiling of diverse pathophysiological domains in Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction: While Alzheimer's disease (AD) is defined by amyloid-β plaques and tau tangles in the brain, it is evident that many other pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, neurovascular dysfunction, oxidative stress, and metabolic derangements also contribute to the disease process and that varying contributions of these pathways may reflect the heterogeneity of AD. Here, we used a previously validated panel of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers to explore the degree to which different pathophysiological domains are dysregulated in AD and how they relate to each other.

Methods: Twenty-five CSF biomarkers were analyzed in individuals with a clinical diagnosis of AD verified by positive CSF AD biomarkers (AD, = 54) and cognitively unimpaired controls negative for CSF AD biomarkers (CU-N, = 26) using commercial single- and multi-plex immunoassays.
