New Approaches To The Treatment Of Hyperphosphataemia (CRF)Andre Garcia
The document discusses new approaches to treating hyperphosphataemia in patients with kidney disease. It summarizes findings from several studies that show disorders of mineral metabolism like hyperphosphatemia are associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease and mortality in dialysis patients. One study found that treatment with the phosphate binder lanthanum carbonate was more effective at controlling serum phosphate levels and reducing the calcium-phosphate product compared to calcium-based binders, with fewer hypercalcemia side effects.
The document provides an outline and overview of kidney function, hormone production, secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), and treatment with vitamin D in chronic kidney disease patients. It discusses how kidney failure leads to SHPT through vitamin D deficiency and other factors. SHPT can cause bone disease and other complications. Treatment focuses on vitamin D supplementation to control PTH levels and symptoms of SHPT.
This document discusses the physiology and clinical management of PTH and mineral metabolism disorders in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It provides an overview of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and PTH regulation and how their homeostasis is disrupted in CKD. Secondary hyperparathyroidism leads to elevated PTH levels and disturbances in calcium and phosphorus. If not properly managed, this can result in renal osteodystrophy, vascular calcification, and increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. The document reviews therapeutic options like phosphate binders and vitamin D analogs to control mineral levels and treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD patients.
1. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem affecting millions of Americans. Early detection and treatment can help slow progression of the disease and prevent complications.
2. Screening high-risk groups such as those with diabetes or hypertension can help identify CKD earlier. Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using the MDRD equation is recommended for detection and staging of CKD.
3. A three-pronged initiative is needed to screen for CKD risk factors, develop early detection processes, and establish collaborative disease management between primary care and nephrology. This can help address issues of underdiagnosis and late referral currently associated with CKD.
This document summarizes various metabolic bone diseases. It discusses diseases of mineralization like osteomalacia and rickets, which are caused by deficiencies in vitamin D, phosphate, or calcium.

Symptoms are often nonspecific until late stages and include fatigue, pruritis, and neurological problems. Treatment focuses on slowing progression through blood pressure control and managing complications like anemia, bone disease, and fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Dialysis or kidney transplantation are required once kidney function has declined sufficiently.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. The Host Institution
What factors influenced your decision to select the host institution that you went to?
I chose to go the Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada, because I have always wanted to go to
Canada and I thought this would be a great opportunity to see the country and live the life
style. Also, I chose Ryerson because in Urban Planning we have few choices of where we can
go, but it worked out great because Ryerson has a really good course.
How would you describe your host institution?
Ryerson is good. It has many “newish” buildings, but I found with the planning course that
powerpoint presentations were not used very regularly by professors. The Ryerson exchange
organizers and student committee are fantastic, and organize a lot of events for exchange
students and are always there to help.
Please describe the location of the host institution
Ryerson is right downtown. It is a campus that occupies quite a large area, probably bigger
then a city block. It is very close to shopping, food, pubs and public transport (subway).
Please describe the courses that you took while on exchange? What were their pros and cons?
Whilst on exchange I took 3rd year courses. They were:
Planning Theory- I found this interesting and useful for decision making in the field. But
found that without the use of powerpoint presentation systems it was a lot of writing and
noting.
Environmental Planning and Management- This course was informative and much related
to planning. It outlined approached to managing the environment. It was good because it was
a 3h course per week and it was all in one block. (Often didn’t go that long). I found that there
was a lot of reading for this course and it required the purchase of a text book. (approx $70
can)
Land Use Planning- This subject is a large group assignment project. It is intensive and
requires quite a lot of work. I found this subject the least enjoyable.
Health Promotion and Community Development- This subject is an interdisciplinary subject
and was held between 6pm and 8.30pm Wednesday nights on my timetable. It is health
related but has elements of planning in it. I found this subject to be quite easy but it required
a weekly reading summary, but the content wasn’t too challenging.
4. How did course content, class size, marking, etc compare with UniSA?
The course content was obviously of a North American, Canadian context. So this made it
interesting as it was new and seemed quite foreign to me, but at times they talked about
things that I didn’t have a clue about because of this.
The class size is relative to UniSA. In core courses it ranged from approx 50-75. Then in
electives it ranged from approx 20-30. The class size all depends on what subjects that you are
taking.
The marking was similar. It seemed a little easier at Ryerson, but the workload was higher.
Planning at Ryerson is similar to UniSA in the sense that there are 4 tasks worth marks. The
amount of work for these was varied; some were case studies of approx 10-12 pages. Another
was a term paper of approx 4,000 words. All in all the work varied but was similar in the
marking to UniSA.
Also, midterm exams are often carried out in subjects at Ryerson, I had 2 and then 2 final
exams for the same subjects.
Did you find the academic and international office staff helpful?
Like UniSA the academic staff set office hours and they were all helpful. Whilst they set office
hours it is always possible to email them and they generally reply promptly.
The international office staff were outstanding. They helped us with everything that we
needed and provided us with information required for life at Ryerson. The exchange
committee that worked with the international office was amazing. This committee comprised
of returned exchange students from Ryerson, all of which were friendly and they organized
weekly pub nights and other events. They organized a baseball match, basketball match and
general get-togethers for the exchange students.
Both the international office and committee were always there if you needed someone to talk
to.
Please describe the resources available to exchange students (ie computers, the library)?
The resources available are much the same as regular students. There is a large library and
various computer labs, with many computers. There is a huge cafeteria with many choices
and you are provided with a student card which can have money put on it to be used for
printing and buying food at various locations on campus and some off campus (residence and
pub).
Did you experience any language or cultural difficulties at the host institution?
At times there were issues where people couldn’t understand what I was saying (aussie
mumble and talking to quickly), but if I slowed down, generally people understood what I
said. Cultural differences were experienced on many occasions. Different meanings to words
and different words for different things were found all the time.
Do you think that going on exchange contributed to your academic development? If so, how?
I think that it did. I found that by going on exchange I obtained a different perspective on my
education. I actually seemed to work harder while away, but still managed to do everything
that I wanted to. I developed a better understanding of various elements of planning, and
experienced a totally different planning system, which in turn helped aid my academic
development
5. Practical
Accommodation
Please describe the accommodation options available to exchange students
Accommodation options for semester long exchanges are limited slightly. The university
residences only accept year long students. But I stayed at a place called Neill-Wycik which is
about 2 minutes from Ryerson. Neill-Wycik is a bit old and some rooms (mine) are a little
dilapidated, but it is a good place to stay as many exchange and international students live
here, as well as Canadian students. Other options would include renting a room, and in some
cases a basement flat at peoples houses.
At Neill-Wycik students cook for themselves, where as at the Ryerson residences you are
required to buy a meal plan.
How expensive were the accommodation options?
Neill-Wycik appeared to be the cheapest at approximately $1800 Canadian for 4 months, in
the McGill wing (which has bigger rooms and 2 bathrooms, but is not ‘flashier’. I am not sure
of the prices for rented rooms.
What type of accommodation would you recommend?
I would recommend accommodation that allows you to be mixed with all sorts of different
people. Neill-Wycik had a lot of exchange students and this was good as I got to meet people
from all parts of the world experiencing the same things as me. As well as some Canadian
students from surrounding areas and other provinces
Food
Did you have self-catering facilities or were meals provided with your accommodation?
I had to self cater for myself
What sort of food was available?
There was a supermarket very close to Ryerson that offered all sorts of food. Also all sorts of
food was available on campus and off campus. There are many restaurants in Toronto, and
most of which are not too expensive. There are also various fast-food outlets around.
Was food expensive?
Food from the supermarket was in comparison to Australia. Fruit and Veg were about the
same and meat prices were similar, but chicken seemed to be quite expensive. Most food from
6. the supermarkets was prices similar to Australia
Where is the best place to shop?
For food, I shopped at Dominion 24 hour supermarket and the process here weren’t too bad.
But there is also another supermarket called no-frills and this is cheaper again. There are also
various different supermarkets available.
How much does it cost to eat out at a local restaurant/café?
Restaurant- approx $15-25 plus tax and tip
Café- approx 10-15/ plus tax and tip
All restaurants, bars, cafés and taxi’s expect tips. Generally you can tip the same amount as
the tax, which is added to the ticketed price and in Ontario this is 14%.
Transport
How did you find the local transport network?
The local transport network was great. The subway was quick, and cost $2.75 one way , a
little pricy, with no student fares.
Was it expensive to use local transport?
As said $2.75 unless you decide to buy a monthly pass where you can get student rates
Do you have any tips on types of tickets to buy?
If you are going to be using the subway, buses and street cars (all part of the TTC) a monthly
pass is probably a good way to go.
Personal Safety
Did you find the city in which you stayed safe?
Toronto seemed to be safe, but with any city I would not walk alone at night.
7. Do you have any safety advice for other exchange students?
Same as above
Employment
Were there opportunities for paid employment for exchange students? If yes, what sort of
work was available?
I did not try to find any
Social
Life on Exchange
How would you describe the way of life in your exchange destination?
The way of life in Toronto was fairly fast paced. The people seemed to have many things to
do, but it was still possible to relax in the city.
Did you experience ‘culture shock’?
Yes, I would say that I did experience ‘culture shock’
Do you have any suggestions on how to cope with ‘culture shock’?
Keep busy and make lots of friends, because in many cases other exchange students are
experiencing the same thing.
What is the best way to meet people?
Go to the organised events put on by the committee and seek to introduce yourself to as
many exchange/international and Canadian students as possible.
Do you have any suggestions on what to do on the weekend?
Look around the city, there is a lot there to see and do. Brewery tours are always good
because it is free beer and you will also see many sights of Toronto at the same time.
8. Travel
Did you travel before, after or during your exchange?
I traveled to New York on the way. I also went to Quebec city, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver
and Whistler whilst on exchange.
Do you have any travel tips?
Book early and get an ISIC card, because it will save you heaps of money.
Highlights
Briefly describe the highlights of your exchange experience
Meeting new people from all over the world. Also traveling and experiencing a new way of
life. Making good Canadian friends to go back and visit. Snowboarding in Whistler.
Problems
Briefly describe any problems you experienced on exchange and any suggestions you may
have to help others avoid them.
You sometimes encounter problems where people will not understand you, so just talk slowly
and clearly.
Other Comments
Do you have any further comments?
Toronto was a great city with lots to do around university. Try to get a lot of things done
whilst the weather is still fine, as it may not be to appealing to go sight seeing when it is
minus 5.
