The document summarizes the Caribbean Renal Registry's January 2013 report. It thanks collaborators from various Caribbean countries and organizations that support renal care, including national health funds. It provides data on end-stage renal disease patients in the Caribbean, including distribution by treatment modality and country, insurance status, smoking history, BMI, type of dialysis facility used, and patient characteristics and outcomes that vary by country.
Multi-Disciplinary Renal Clinic Presentation to Exec Leadership
This document proposes a patient-aligned kidney care model that utilizes a multidisciplinary team approach to manage chronic kidney disease (CKD). It argues that the current model of standalone nephrology clinics is outdated. A multidisciplinary team that includes nephrologists, nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, and social workers could more effectively manage CKD patients, slow disease progression, reduce costs, and improve outcomes. Implementing this model could save the VA money by decreasing hospital admissions, increasing transplant rates, and lowering overall costs of treatment like dialysis.

Treasure Coast Community Health is a nonprofit community health center in Indian River County, Florida that provides primary care services to nearly 16,000 residents per year across four locations. It offers an interdisciplinary healthcare team including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and dentists. Services include primary care, women's health, dental care, pediatrics, behavioral health, labs, patient navigation, pharmacies, and a sliding scale fee program for uninsured and underinsured patients. The health center accepts various forms of insurance and offers payment assistance.
Acute+kidney+injury+ +final+version+(08+march+2011)+
This document provides clinical practice guidelines for acute kidney injury (AKI) from the UK Renal Association. It summarizes the definition and staging systems for AKI from ADQI, AKIN and KDIGO to standardize classification. AKI has significant prevalence in hospitalized patients and poor outcomes, with mortality ranging from 10-80% depending on severity and presence of multiorgan failure. Prevention and early recognition of AKI is important. The guidelines cover areas like assessment, prevention, management, renal replacement therapy modalities and prescriptions, and timing of treatment. Improving education of healthcare professionals about AKI is emphasized.
Economic Benefits Intervension in Chronic Kidney diseases
The document discusses strategies for preventing and treating end stage renal disease (ESRD) in developing countries. It notes that treatment is most effective and cost efficient when focused on high-risk groups through measures like screening diabetics and their relatives, and using ACE inhibitors. Kidney transplants are also effective but availability of donors is limited. Developing countries need to expand access to renal replacement therapies while focusing on primary prevention through lifestyle changes and secondary prevention with pharmaceuticals to reduce ESRD burden over time.

ensuring that people with advanced kidney
disease receive the very best care in the last
years, months and days of their lives. This
framework complements and extends work
already underway at a national level. It builds
on the vision of High Quality for All1 which
requires all strategic health authorities to
produce end of life clinical pathways. This
informed the End of Life Care Strategy2,
which aims to ensure that all adults receive

This document discusses the burden of kidney disease globally and in Nigeria. It notes that renal failure is a major public health problem worldwide, contributing to over 850,000 deaths annually. In Nigeria, chronic kidney disease accounts for 8-10% of hospital admissions, with an estimated 18,000 new cases per year. However, less than 2000 patients are able to receive dialysis treatment due to financial constraints. The document calls for government funding of dialysis treatment through programs like NHIS to increase access to life-saving care for kidney patients in Nigeria.National projects: making a difference for your heart failure patients
National projects: Making a difference for your heart failure patients
In March 2010, NHS Improvement invited organisations to work in partnership on projects dedicated to improving the heart failure pathway, up to and including end of life projects. Projects were submitted from acute trusts, PCTs and cardiac and stroke networks and some with involvement of palliative care services. This publication provides a flavour of the work that was undertaken, and celebrates the project teams' hard work and achievement.

Cystinosis letter to health canada
Canadian Medical community is as shocked and surprised as Cystinosis Patient Families. The Health Canada decision to remove choice from our system while increasing cost of a small patient group of 70 by $50M annually is negligent. Horizon Pharmaceutical Procysbi has a spot in the line up, it just shouldn't be the default or only option when Cystinosis patients in Canada have been well managed for since Mylan Cystagon was used to start treating it back in 1994.

A cardiologist at Peninsula Health, Associate Professor Jamie Layland, has performed the first insertion of an absorbable heart stent in a patient at the health service. The absorbable stent dissolves within two years, allowing the artery to return to a natural state, whereas traditional metal stents remain in the patient permanently. This is a revolutionary advance in the treatment of coronary artery disease.
Aboriginal Bullying
This document discusses bullying within Aboriginal communities. It notes that:
- Nearly all Aboriginal youth have experienced bullying or lateral violence from their peers. Lateral violence refers to bullying among one's own community or ethnic group.
- 95% of young Aboriginal people have witnessed lateral violence and bullying at home. 95% of bullying among Aboriginal people is directed at other Aboriginal people.
- Lateral violence stems from colonization and oppression and is a way for oppressed groups to internalize pain and direct it at their own community instead of confronting larger systems of power. It causes negative mental health impacts.
- Forms of lateral violence include verbal and nonverbal attacks, sabotage, and scapegoating.

[1] The National Aboriginal Health Organization and Inuit Tuttarvingat developed the Inuit Tobacco-free Network to share knowledge about tobacco use reduction. [2] They hired Inuit youth to film video testimonials from people in their communities who have quit or tried to quit smoking. [3] The videos were used in a classroom contest in Nunavut schools to encourage youth to think about the harms of smoking and consider quitting. The contest provided feedback on the videos and strategies to improve youth tobacco prevention efforts.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
