Objective: This study aimed to compare the correlations between KT/V and creatinine clearance (Ccr) calculated by different methods and to determine and compare the correlations between KT/V and Ccr.
Design: Nonrandomized, retrospective analysis of data.
Setting: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) outpatient clinic in a teaching hospital.
Patients: All patients were included for analysis if the data collection was complete for the calculations of KT/V and Ccr using five different methods.
Interventions: Volume of distribution for urea (V) was estimated by four methods: Watson nomogram, ideal body weight (IBW), actual body weight, and total body surface area. Ccr was determined by five methods: Dialysate Ccr was calculated by creatinine (Cr) uncorrected and corrected for the presence of glucose; urinary Ccr was calculated using urinary Cr alone and the average urinary clearance of urea and Cr; and by the Cockcroft and Gault method.
Main Outcome Measures: Correlations between KT/V and Ccr.
Results: Sixty-three data sets were collected from 52 CAPD patients. The correlations between weekly KT/V and Ccr normalized to 1.73 m2 body surface area were found to be highly variable from one method to another (r2 = 0.012 -0.494). For obese patients (20% above IBW), KT/V values obtained were more variable using the Watson nomogram compared to the IBW and BSA methods.
Conclusion: KT/V calculated using the Watson nomogram and the Ccr determined using average of urinary urea and creatinine clearance gave the best correlation (r2 = 0.49).

Activated carbon is extensively utilized in blood purification applications. However, its performance has been significantly limited by their poor blood compatibility. In this work, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCN) and activated carbon (AC) were used to form composite beads by the drop curing method to improve hemocompatibility.

Physical Activity (PA) provides numerous biological and psychological benefits, especially for cancer patients. PA mitigates treatment side effects, influences hormones, inflammation, adiposity, and immune function, and reduces symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fatigue. This study evaluates the impact of PA on these positive outcomes.

Purpose: Establishing an accurate prognosis remains challenging in older patients with cancer because of the population's heterogeneity and the current predictive models' reduced ability to capture the complex interactions between oncologic and geriatric predictors. We aim to develop and externally validate a new predictive score (the Geriatric Cancer Scoring System [GCSS]) to refine individualized prognosis for older patients with cancer during the first year after a geriatric assessment (GA).
Materials And Methods: Data were collected from two French prospective multicenter cohorts of patients with cancer 70 years and older, referred for GA: ELCAPA (training set January 2007-March 2016) and ONCODAGE (validation set August 2008-March 2010).

Purpose: Opioid medications remain a common treatment for acute pain in hospitalized patients. This study aims to identify factors contributing to opioid overdose in the inpatient population, addressing the gap in data on which patients are at higher risk for opioid-related adverse events in the hospital setting.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of inpatients receiving at least one opioid medication was performed at a large academic medical center from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022.
