Purpose Of Review: The rapid rise in incidence and prevalence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) over the past 50 years was matched by a drop-off in use of home dialysis and a proliferation of in-center hemodialysis across the United States. There is renewed interest in improving access to home dialysis modalities for patients with ESKD. The aim of this review is to update kidney care providers with clinical outcome data and new guidelines that promote patient-centered choices, and to address barriers to home dialysis uptake and continued use.

Article Synopsis
  • - Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a serious complication after cardiac surgery, and while various treatments exist, many have limitations; thus, the study explores pectoralis major flap transposition (PMFT) as a potential effective method.
  • - A study of 785 DSWI patients treated with PMFT found that 90.3% healed successfully, while 9.7% experienced delayed healing or death; additional risk factors for poorer outcomes included diabetes, obesity, and a history of smoking.
  • - The results suggest that PMFT is a safe treatment option for DSWI, but patients with specific risk factors should be monitored closely, and further research is recommended to better understand these relationships.
