Translation and Validation of the Japanese Version of the Dialysis Patient‐Perceived Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale

Journal of Renal Care, Volume 52, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Regular exercise is recommended for patients undergoing haemodialysis; however, participation rates remain low in Japan. Perceived benefits and barriers are key cognitive determinants of exercise behaviour, yet no validated instrument exists to assess these perceptions among Japanese patients receiving haemodialysis.

Infection Control Practices for Vascular Access Management in Hemodialysis: Results From a Nationwide Survey of Japanese National University Hospitals

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 594-601, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

The use of a tunneled permanent catheter as temporary vascular access in arteriovenous graft patients for long-term patency

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2019
Background Generally, the preferred route of vascular access in chronic kidney disease patients is an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) rather than grafts. However, approximately 7% of 300,000 Japanese hemodialysis (HD) patients continue to dialyze with grafts.

Radial Versus Femoral Access for Diagnostic Coronary Angiography: Insights From a Tertiary Academic Center in Johannesburg

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 108, Issue 2, Page 437-445, August 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The radial artery is the preferred access for performing diagnostic coronary angiograms (DCA). However, data on the safety and efficacy of radial compared to femoral access in low‐ and middle‐income countries is limited. Aims This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of radial versus femoral access in patients referred for

A Proposed Clinical Diagnostic Framework for Short Telomere Syndrome

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 139-149, August 2026.
We propose a phenotype‐based diagnostic framework for short telomere syndrome that integrates age‐adjusted telomere length, phenotypic manifestations, and genetic findings, where available. The framework is intended to guide clinical evaluation, longitudinal surveillance, and individualized management while acknowledging limitations in current telomere
