Cases of methanol poisoning among tourists in Indonesia
3 out of 5 stars Methanol poisoning among travellers to Indonesia. Giovanetti F. Travel Med Infect Dis 2013 Apr 6 [Epub ahead of print] Abstract In 2009, 25 people died in Indonesia after consuming samples of the popular local drink called arak (or arrack) that had been contaminated with methanol. Since then, reports of fatal cases of methanol poisoning related to the drink have continued. The author of this paper searched both scientific and popular media databases to identify cases of methanol poisoning associated with ingesting arrack.

Is Dorothy correct? The role of patient education in promoting home dialysis.
Abstract The major payer of dialysis services in the United States, Medicare, has established incentives to encourage the use of home dialysis. However, this modality remains underutilized. We think that a major cause of this situation is ineffective education of the prospective dialysis population regarding the choices of kidney replacement modalities. We discuss the value of patient education and the consequences of failing to educate prospective dialysis patients. We then explore approaches to achieve patient education goals and the physician's and education team's roles in the development of an individual pati...

The relation between Internet and social media use and the demographic and clinical parameters, quality of life, depression, cognitive function and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients: Social media and hemodialysis
Conclusion: Internet and social media use was closely related with quality of life, depression, cognitive function and education in HD patients. Studies are needed on whether Internet use under the supervision of health care professionals will improve clinical outcomes, adherence, quality of life, depression and decision making in HD patients.

Renal unit characteristics and patient education practices that predict a high prevalence of home‐based dialysis in Australia
ConclusionOur data suggest certain pre‐end stage education practices are significantly associated with home dialysis rates above the national average. The consistent above average home dialysis rates witnessed in New South Wales appear to be the result of renal unit culture, education strategies and policies that support ‘home dialysis first’.

Renal unit characteristics and patient education practices that predict a high prevalence of home-based dialysis in Australia.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome following intralipid emulsion therapy
2.5 out of 5 stars Acute respiratory distress syndrome following verapamil overdose treated with intravenous lipid emulsion; A rare life-threatening complication. Martin C et al.  Ann Fr Anesth Reanim 2014 [Epub ahead of print] Reference This interesting French case report is a textbook example of how not to use intralipid emulsion therapy (ILE) in calcium-channel-block (CCB) overdose. It describes a 51-year-old woman who present to the emergency room 8 hours after ingesting forty 240 mg verapamil, a total of 9.6 grams. She was hypotensive and bradycardic, although alert and oriented. Initial echocardiography showed goo...

Must-read: consider hemodialysis in cases of massive acetaminophen overdose
4 out of 5 stars Extracorporeal treatment of acetaminophen poisoning: Recommendations from the EXTRIP workgroup. Gosselin S et al. Clin Toxicol 2014 Aug 18:1-12. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract These recommendations come from the Extracorporeal Treatments in Poisoning (EXTRIP) workgroup, a project established to provide some guidance on the use of hemodialysis and other techniques in toxicology cases, an area where high-quality evidence simply does not exist. Although there has been some disagreement among toxicologists about the value of this effort, I have found the papers that come from EXTRIP extremely interesting a...

Enhanced Elimination of Dabigatran Through Extracorporeal Methods.
Abstract Several pharmacokinetic studies have suggested that dabigatran possesses a number of ideal properties for expedited removal via extracorporeal methods. However, this practice has not been prospectively evaluated in patients with life-threatening bleeding or requiring emergency surgery secondary to dabigatran-associated coagulopathy. The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the published evidence surrounding extracorporeal removal of dabigatran in the setting of emergency surgery or life-threatening bleeding. A query of MEDLINE, Web of Science, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, and Google...

Extracorporeal blood therapy in sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome: the "purifying dream".
CONCLUSIONS: It is not now to conclude that EBP intervention can purify septic or ARDS patients with high clinical efficacy from current experimental and clinical practice. Prospective, randomized controlled, and well-designed clinical or experimental studies and most suitable EBP modalities should be further developed. PMID: 25533831 [PubMed - in process]

Transition of respiratory technology dependent patients from pediatric to adult pulmonology care
ConclusionThe survey results highlight a lack of standardized transition programs at US children's hospitals for the transfer of RTD patients from a pediatric to an adult care setting. Improvement in the standardized management of transitions of complex RTD patients from pediatric to adult care may decrease the risk for adverse health outcomes and the stresses associated with changing the health care setting.

Evaluation of the effect of nurse education on patient‐reported foot checks and foot care behaviour of people with diabetes receiving haemodialysis
ConclusionsA single education session can improve the routine checking of the feet of people with diabetes undergoing haemodialysis. The administration of the Nottingham Assessment of Functional Foot‐care questionnaire was associated with improved self‐reported foot care behaviour, reflecting greater awareness of risk in this population.This article is protected by copyright.

Living Donor Kidney Transplantation: Improving Education Outside of Transplant Centers about Live Donor Transplantation-Recommendations from a Consensus Conference.
Discussion of the effect and potential for implementation around each recommendation is featured, particularly regarding reducing racial and socioeconomic disparities in access to LDKT. To accomplish these recommendations, the entire community of professionals and organizations serving kidney patients must work collaboratively toward ensuring accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date LDKT education for all patients, thereby reducing barriers to LDKT access and increasing LDKT rates.

Additional benefit of dietitian involvement in dialysis staffs-led diet education on uncontrolled hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients
Conclusion Renal diet education guided either by dietitians plus dialysis staffs or dialysis staffs alone reduces serum P level and dietitian-guided diet education provides an additional benefit on controlling hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients.

Renal replacement therapy associated with lithium nephrotoxicity in New Zealand.
CONCLUSION: Dosing and monitoring of patients prescribed lithium should follow guidelines, not only to avoid future psychiatric episodes and acute toxicity but also because such adherence may reduce uncommon but serious outcomes of long-term treatment such as end-stage kidney disease.
