Abdominal POCUS Education for Clinicians: A Systematic Review of Teaching Methods for Point‐of‐Care Abdominal Ultrasonography

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 547-561, March/April 2025.
For patients to benefit from abdominal point‐of‐care ultrasound, the ultrasound examinator must be sufficiently trained. In this systematic review, we identified advantages and disadvantages of different training methods and approaches. We conclude that thoughtful integration of the various educational methods is crucial for stakeholders and educators.

The efficacy of managing fluid overload in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients by a structured nurse-led intervention protocol

BMC Nephrology, 2019
Background Extracellular volume overload is a common problem in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and is associated with excessive mortality. We determine the effectiveness of treating PD patients with extracellular volume overload by a structured nurse ...

Effects of receiving renal biopsy on the prognosis of chronic kidney disease patients with impaired renal function

BMC Nephrology, 2023
Background Impaired renal function was not a recognized indication for renal biopsy. The effects of receiving renal biopsy on the renal functional prognosis for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with impaired renal function need to be explored ...

Incidental Detection of Portal Venous Gas During POCUS in a Neonate With Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Intestinal Perforation: A Case Report

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Point‐of‐care ultrasound performed at the bedside identified hepatic portal venous gas in a critically ill neonate, prompting urgent evaluation and revealing intestinal perforation due to necrotizing enterocolitis. This case highlights the potential of POCUS to accelerate diagnosis when clinical signs are subtle or nonspecific.

Evaluation of peritoneal dialysis prescriptions in uremic rats

, 2023
Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) require dialysis or transplantation for their survival. There are few experimental animal models mimicking the human situation in which the animals are dependent on dialysis for their survival. We

Anchored but not safe: Rare but serious mechanical complications from peritoneal dialysis catheter suture fixation

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter fixation techniques are frequently employed to minimize migration and optimize dialysate flow. While mechanical complications of PD catheters are well recognized, adverse events directly attributable to anchoring sutures are rarely described. We report two patients with end‐stage renal failure (ESRF)

Gut microbiota dysbiosis and Long COVID susceptibility in chronic kidney disease

VIEW, EarlyView.
This study investigated gut microbiota dysbiosis and its association with Long COVID susceptibility in 224 hemodialysis patients. We found that 35.3% of patients developed Long COVID, characterized by neurological symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers, accompanied by significant gut microbiota alterations including enriched proinflammatory taxa ...

Intermittent sodium zirconium cyclosilicate for the prevention of hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease

BMC Nephrology
Background Hyperkalemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that often requires urgent dialysis and increases healthcare costs. Daily sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) is a safe and effective treatment for the control of serum ...

Efficiency comparison between new single‐needle dialysis and conventional double‐needle dialysis and exploration of the optimal prescription parameters for single‐needle hemodialysis

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 419-427, June 2025.
Abstract Objective To compare the dialysis efficiency parameters between new single‐needle dialysis and conventional double‐needle dialysis and to explore the optimal prescription parameters for single‐needle hemodialysis. Methods This study involved a prospective, cross‐over design. Eight patients were randomly divided into two cohorts, which received
