MSCTA imaging analysis of autologous arteriovenous fistula dysfunction in maintenance hemodialysis patients
CONCLUSION: MSCTA can be used to evaluate the dysfunction of autologous arteriovenous fistula in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, and provide important reference information for the formulation of the next best clinical treatment plan.PMID:38586097 | PMC:PMC10994794 | DOI:10.62347/YEGN9292 (Source: American Journal of Translational Research)

The Gap in Attitudes Toward Withholding and Withdrawing Life-Sustaining Treatment Between Japanese Physicians and Citizens
CONCLUSIONS: A significant proportion of Japanese physicians and citizens were reluctant to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment, even in cases where the patient had indicated their wishes in writing. They were more likely to withhold than withdraw treatment, and more likely to withdraw artificial nutrition than mechanical ventilation. Japanese physicians gave significant weight to family views about treatment but were less likely to agree to withdraw treatment than citizens, indicating a potential source of conflict in clinical settings.PMID:38588396 | DOI:10.1080/23294515.2024.2336907 (Source: AJOB Primary Research)

Home versus in-centre haemodialysis for people with kidney failure
CONCLUSIONS: Based on low to very low certainty evidence, HHD, compared with ICHD, has uncertain associations or may be associated with decreased cardiovascular and all-cause death, hospitalisation rate, slower post-dialysis recovery time, and decreased SBP and LVMI. HHD has uncertain cost-effectiveness compared with ICHD in the first and second years of treatment. The majority of studies included in this review were observational and subject to potential selection bias and confounding, especially as patients treated with HHD tended to be younger with fewer comorbidities. Variation from study to study in the choice of outc...
