Editorial Review Dialysis adequacy today: a European perspective
The need to improve haemodialysis (HD) therapies and to reduce cardiovascular and all-cause mortality frequently encountered by dialysis patients has been recognized and addressed for many years.

Contaminants from the dialysate may cross the dialyzer membrane into the blood and have the potential to compromise the adequacy of dialysis. Several chemicals found commonly in drinking water have long been known to be toxic to hemodialysis patients. More recently, it has become apparent that even low levels ...
متن کاملDialysis outcomes as a measure of adequacy of dialysis.
Truly adequate dialysis would restore patients to full health, with functional status and length of life indistinguishable from others of the same age, sex, and race without chronic kidney disease. We are far from achieving such outcomes, however, in part because of the dearth of available evidence on which areas of care should be emphasized to get the greatest clinical and psychosocial benefit...
متن کاملA Critical Review of Proximal Fibular Osteotomy for Knee Osteoarthritis
The surgical management of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), so far, mainly revolved around arthroscopic procedures,arthroplasty (total: TKA and unicompartmental: UKA) or high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Recently, another minimallyinvasive surgical treatment of proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) has been proposed for the management of KOA. ThePFO has been found to be useful in the manageme...
