In a retrospective analysis of 202 renal transplant procedures in the years 1989-1992 we identified an excess of grafts lost from primary renovascular thrombosis in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) compared to haemodialysis (HD) patients (9 CAPD versus 0 HD, Chi-squared = 9.63; P < 0.01). All graft losses from thrombosis occurred within 16 days of surgery. Possible predisposing causes were identified in three patients. Donor age was greater in CAPD patients losing their kidneys from thrombosis compared to the overall CAPD group [mean (SD) years, 43.0(12.9) versus 29.1(15.8); P = 0.01] whereas no significant difference in haematocrit, platelet count, antibody status, cyclosporin use, peroperative hypotension, primary diagnosis, smoking, or diabetes mellitus was found. Data from the EDTA registry for 1990-91 show that graft loss from primary renovascular thrombosis in UK-treated patients was reported in 7.1% of CAPD recipients compared with 1.8% in haemodialysis. We suggest that CAPD patients are at greater risk of graft loss from renovascular thrombosis than HD patients and may require more intensive fluid and anticoagulant treatment in the perioperative period.

Emphysematous polycystic renal infection (EPRI) has a poor prognosis with conservative management, and early surgical nephrectomy has been recommended. However, percutaneous cyst drainage may be a possible treatment option. We experienced 6 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presenting with EPRI.

Background: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is one of the kidney replacement therapy (KRT) modalities used in patients with kidney failure. It is the preferred modality in most resource-limited settings as it is more accessible and cost-effective. CAPD technique failure remains a challenge and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.

Delirium, a neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by acute disruptions in attention and awareness, significantly impacts children in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs), leading to prolonged hospitalization, increased infection risk, and dependence on mechanical ventilation. Despite growing recognition, its true burden and risk factors in children remain poorly understood. This prospective cohort study investigated the prevalence, characteristics, and potential therapeutic targets for delirium in 890 children admitted to a tertiary PICU between January and December 2022.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors for peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients and to develop and validate a predictive model.
Methods: A total of 219 patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) who had their first peritoneal dialysis catheter placement and regular follow-up at Wuhan No. 1 Hospital between April 2020 and August 2023 were included in this study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between language impairments and central auditory processing difficulties in children with self-limited epilepsy characterized by centrotemporal spikes, examining how these issues relate to seizure timing and neuropsychiatric aspects.
- Two groups of patients based on seizure timing underwent various assessments, revealing that both groups performed significantly worse on auditory processing tests compared to healthy controls, with some differences in expressive language scores.
- Findings indicate that children experiencing seizures at night may show more behavioral issues and impulsivity compared to those with seizures in the morning, highlighting the complex interactions between epilepsy, language, and neuropsychiatric functioning.
