Abstract

To develop and evaluate a screening version of the validated Scored Sodium Questionnaire (SSQ). Development phase-a Scored Sodium Questionnaire-Screening Form (SSQ-SF) and scoring system were developed using data previously collected in 47 chronic kidney disease outpatients participating in the SSQ validation study; evaluation phase-conducted in 49 participants with end-stage kidney disease on hemodialysis and 16 nursing staff. A total of 49 outpatients (61% male) aged 63.1 ± 14.8 years attending a hemodialysis kidney clinic at a tertiary referral hospital in Australia. On separate occasions, participants completed the SSQ, the SSQ-SF, and a feasibility questionnaire. Nursing staff from the same clinic completed a feasibility questionnaire. Time and ease of completion; association and agreement between the SSQ and SSQ-SF scores; assessment of binary classifications for sodium consumption: sensitivity and specificity. Median time to complete the SSQ-SF was 4 minutes versus 10 minutes for the SSQ (P < .01); 93% of participants and nursing staff agreed that the SSQ-SF was easy to complete. There was strong and significant association between total SSQ and SSQ-SF scores (r = 0.777, P ≤ .01), with strong agreement between individual...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
