AI Article Synopsis
- Maintenance hemodialysis patients often face negative psychological and physiological effects, but exercise can help improve their condition, and virtual reality (VR) technology is emerging as a beneficial tool for rehabilitation.
- A study used semi-structured interviews with 10 patients to explore their experiences with VR rehabilitation training, aiming to inform better clinical practices.
- Four key themes emerged from the interviews: patient perceptions of VR systems, improvements in their physical and psychological health, personalized needs during training, and suggestions for enhancing the VR program.
Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Maintenance hemodialysis patients' psychology and physiology will have negative effects. Adherence to exercise can effectively enhance the physical function of maintenance hemodialysis patients and reduce the negative psychological emotions. In recent years, virtual reality technology has been gradually applied to the hemodialysis group, providing a new way for the rehabilitation training and healthy life of maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Objectives: To understand the real experience of maintenance hemodialysis patients participating in virtual reality rehabilitation training, and to make reference for the future clinical development of a more perfect virtual reality rehabilitation training program.
Metchods: Phenomenological research method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 10 maintenance hemodialysis patients, and the interview data were compiled and analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step analysis.
Results: Four themes were distilled: (1) Maintenance hemodialysis patients' overall perceptual experience of the virtual reality rehabilitation system; (2) Physical and psychological improvement of maintenance hemodialysis patients with virtual reality rehabilitation system; (3) Individualized needs of maintenance hemodialysis patients during virtual reality rehabilitation training; (4) Future improvements and recommendations for the virtual reality rehabilitation system.
Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that virtual reality improves patients' motivation to recover and shows positive results and potential benefits in improving physical functioning and negative emotions in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Malignant hypertension induces thrombotic microangiopathy and renal failure: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Faculty of Chinese Medicine, Macau University of Science and Technology, Taipa, Macau, China.
Rationale: Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) caused by malignant hypertension is an acute and critical disease among rare diseases. Although renal biopsy pathology is a golden indicator for diagnosing kidney disease, it cannot distinguish between primary and secondary TMA and requires a comprehensive diagnosis in conjunction with other laboratory tests and medical history.
Patient Concerns: A 33-year-old young man was hospitalized due to unexplained kidney failure.

Faculty of Medicine, Oita University, Yufu, JPN.
Background: Following COVID-19, dietary habits have been altered frequently along with other societal lifestyle modifications. However, changes in the dietary habits of maintenance hemodialysis patients (MHPs) before and during COVID-19 have not been investigated.
Methods: A total of 132 MHPs were assessed for changes in their dietary habits before and during the pandemic and their association with COVID-19 prevention.

Background: The negative impacts of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM) are well known. Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) have significantly higher blood cadmium levels (BCLs) than healthy individuals.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA new and non-invasive technology of left ventricular pressure-strain loop (LV-PSL) has recently been used to provide information on myocardial work (MW) and identify subtle modifications in cardiac function. This study aimed to use LV-PSL for early identification of changes in LV structure and MW in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods： Seventy-two patients with ESRD were divided into two groups based on undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), namely the dialysis group (ESRD-D group) and non-dialysis group (ESRD-ND group).
