BACKGROUND: This multi-institutional, observational study examined whether the outcomes after peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement in Japan meet the audit criteria of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) guideline and identified factors affecting technique survival and perioperative complications. METHODS: Adult patients who underwent first PD catheter placement for end-stage kidney disease between April 2019 and March 2021 were followed until PD withdrawal, kidney transplantation, transfer to other facilities, death, 1 year after PD start or March 2022, whichever came first...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) enables people to have a home-based therapy, permitting greater autonomy for individuals along with enhanced treatment satisfaction compared with in-center dialysis care. The burden of treatment on PD, however, remains considerable and underpins the need for person-centered care. This reflects the need to address the patient as a person with needs and preferences beyond just the medical perspective. Shared decision making is central to the recent International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis recommendations for prescribing PD, balancing the potential benefits of PD on patient well-being with the burden associated with treatment...

Incremental peritoneal dialysis (PD) offers patients newly starting dialysis less than the standard "full dose" of PD, reducing treatment burden and intrusiveness while minimizing symptoms of renal failure. Incremental PD is a cost-effective approach that has been associated with slower rates of decline in residual kidney function. This approach also produces less waste and in turn reduces environmental footprint compared to standard PD prescriptions. It also aligns with the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) Practice Recommendations for high-quality, goal-oriented therapy...

BACKGROUND: This systematic review summarises the stability of less commonly prescribed antibiotics in different peritoneal dialysis solutions that could be used for culture-directed therapy of peritonitis, which would be especially useful in regions with a high prevalence of multidrug antibiotic-resistant strains. METHODS: A literature search of Medline, Scopus, Embase and Google Scholar for articles published from inception to 25 January, 2023 was conducted. Only antibiotic stability studies conducted in vitro and not recently reviewed by So et al...

Haemophilus seminalis is a newly proposed species that is phylogenetically related to Haemophilus haemolyticus. The distribution of H. seminalis in the human population, its genomic diversity, and its pathogenic potential are still unclear. This study reports the finding of our comparative genomic analyses of four newly isolated Haemophilus strains (SZY H8, SZY H35, SZY H36, and SZY H68) from human sputum specimens (Guangzhou, China) along with the publicly available genomes of other phylogenetically related Haemophilus species...

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), a rare group of non-congenital inherited muscle diseases, is characterized by a progressive reduction in muscle tone and force of the proximal limbs. The clinical manifestations and genetic patterns of LGMD are heterogeneous. This study reported on a 10-year-old male patient with LGMD type 2U who experienced muscle weakness in the lower limbs after exercise. Upon admission, the patient's creatine kinase levels were significantly elevated, and hydration and alkalinization therapy were ineffective...

BACKGROUND: Access to care for children with kidney disease is limited in less well-resourced regions of the world and paediatric nephrology (PN) workforce development with good practical skills is critical. METHODS: Retrospective review of a PN training program and trainee feedback from 1999 to 2021, based at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RCWMCH), University of Cape Town. RESULTS: A regionally appropriate 1-2-year training program enrolled 38 fellows with an initial 100% return rate to their country of origin...

Bacillus subtilis has been widely used and generally recognized as a safe host for the production of recombinant proteins, high-value chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Thus, its metabolic engineering attracts significant attention. Nevertheless, the limited availability of selective markers makes this process difficult and time-consuming, especially in the case of multistep biosynthetic pathways. Here, we employ CRISPR/Cas9 technology to build an easy cloning toolkit that addresses commonly encountered obstacles in the metabolic engineering of B...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter-related infections are important risk factors for catheter loss and peritonitis. The 2023 updated recommendations have revised and clarified definitions and classifications of exit site infection and tunnel infection. A new target for the overall exit site infection rate should be no more than 0.40 episodes per year at risk. The recommendation about topical antibiotic cream or ointment to catheter exit site has been downgraded. New recommendations include clarified suggestion of exit site dressing cover and updated antibiotic treatment duration with emphasis on early clinical monitoring to ascertain duration of therapy...

Salt stress adversely influences growth, development, and productivity in plants, resulting in a limitation on agriculture production worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of four different salts, i.e., NaCl, KCl, MgSO4 , and CaCl2 , applied at various concentrations of 0, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mM on the physico-chemical properties and essential oil composition of M. longifolia . After 45 days of transplantation, the plants were irrigated at different salinities at 4-day intervals for 60 days...

α-Dystroglycanopathies are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of muscular dystrophies associated with the defective glycosylation of α-dystroglycan (α-DG). Eighteen genes associated with α-dystroglycanopathies have been identified, and the relative prevalence of genetic subtypes varies with ethnicity. Here, we investigated the clinical and genetic characteristics of α-DG-related muscular dystrophy in the Korean pediatric population. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and variant profiles of 42 patients with α-DG-related muscular dystrophies diagnosed by either reduced glycosylation of α-DG and/or genetic confirmation...

Selection pressures driven by natural causes or human interference are key factors causing genome variants and signatures of selection in specific regions of the genome. Gamecocks were bred for cockfighting, presenting pea-combs, larger body sizes, stronger limbs, and higher levels of aggression than other chickens. In this study, we aimed to explore the genomic differences between Chinese gamecocks and commercial, indigenous, foreign, and cultivated breeds by detecting the regions or sites under natural or artificial selection using genome-wide association studies (GWAS), genome-wide selective sweeps based on the genetic differentiation index ( F ST ), and transcriptome analyses...

Recently, we validated a simple method for estimating peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis rate. Despite good agreement between estimates and gold-standard measurements in two large dialysis registries, the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) was hesitant to recommend adoption of the estimating equation. Their perception is that inaccuracies, as small as they are, might still be detrimental to clinical decision-making. In this study, we apply new analyses to the original validation data sets...

BACKGROUND: The tobacco leaf-derived cembratriene-ol exhibits anti-insect effects, but its content in plants is scarce. Cembratriene-ol is difficult and inefficiently chemically synthesised due to its complex structure. Moreover, the titer of reported recombinant hosts producing cembratriene-ol was low and cannot be applied to industrial production. RESULTS: In this study, Pantoea ananatis geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (CrtE) and Nicotiana tabacum cembratriene-ol synthase (CBTS) were heterologously expressed to synthsize the cembratriene-ol in Escherichia coli...

INTRODUCTION: Children's Interstitial Lung Diseases (cHILD) are a heterogeneous group of rare respiratory diseases. Their common characteristics are gas exchange abnormalities and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates on chest imaging. This group includes inherited surfactant protein deficiency (ISPD), a little-known etiology in Tunisia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 22-month-old boy was referred to investigate recurrent respiratory infections. He had polypnea, cyanosis, finger clubbing, pectus carinatum, intercostal retraction, and bilateral crackles on pulmonary auscultation...
