Article Abstract
Background: Nursing is considered the healthcare profession at most risk of violence. Violence in the workplace is a complex construct difficult to manage and against health workers has implications for the entire health system. A limited number of studies have evaluated this phenomenon in renal units, and there has been little related work since Zampieron's study of 2010.
Objectives: To describe prevention and management strategies 10 years after the last survey of Zampieron and to identify what has changed in the management of violence.
Design: An observational, cross-sectional study.
Participants: A convenience sample including all nurses participating in the European Dialysis and Transplant Nurses Association/European Renal Care Association Conference of 2019, who understand the English language and have a smartphone or tablet.
Measurements: A questionnaire developed by Zampieron was used. The first part collected data concerning the characteristics of the participants' workplace; the second part included closed questions focused on the strategies of management and prevention of violence.
Results: Violence is still a frequent event in renal units, despite measures adopted as education, training, formal incident reporting procedures and indoor safety measures. Much more has been invested in recent years in the prevention of violence in the workplace through specific courses, which have led to greater complaints and reporting of episodes.
Conclusions: This study shows how actions regarding prevention and management of violence towards nurses have been implemented in renal units over the last 10 years and it suggests the greatest investment in recent years has been made in terms of staff training and education.

Assessment of Cardiovascular Risks by CT-Derived Calcium Scoring and FGF-23 in Patients with Renal Hyperparathyroidism Undergoing Near-Total Parathyroidectomy and Cinacalcet Therapy: A Prospective Pilot Study.

Introduction: Near-total parathyroidectomy (NPTX) could provide persistent improvements in dysregulated mineral metabolism, leading to a reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality by reducing coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). In this study, we have attempted to compare the effect of NPTX and cinacalcet therapy in patients with refractory SHPT on dialysis, with regard to their effects on CACS and FGF-23.
Methods: A total of 14 patients with refractory SHPT were followed prospectively.

Objectives: To report outcomes of complete ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for horseshoe kidney (HSK) stones at a high-volume center and evaluate a novel technique (Needle-perc-assisted endoscopic surgery, NAES) for these patients.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all HSK stone patients who underwent PCNL at our institution over a 10-year period. The NAES technique was utilized during the most recent 4 years.

Objective: The most common chronic complication of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the presence of renal scarring and dimercapto succinic acid (DMSA) renal scan is utilized for its detection. In this study, we have aimed to assess whether shear wave speed (SWS) differs between normal and refluxing kidneys.
Materials And Method: Fifty pediatric VUR patients and 21 healthy children with available DMSA obtained within the previous year were included in the study.
Left ventricular geometry and the risk of heavy coronary artery calcification in patients with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease: the KoreaN Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD).

Department of Internal Medicine, Chonnam National University Hospital, Chonnam National University Medical School, Gwangju, Republic of Korea.
Background: The association between abnormal left ventricular geometry (LVG) patterns and the presence of coronary artery calcification is unclear in patients with CKD.
Methods: A total of 2,038 patients with pre-dialysis CKD at stages 1 to 5 were categorized by LVG patterns, which were echocardiographically determined by the presence or absence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and relative wall thickness (RWT): normal, concentric remodeling, eccentric LVH, and concentric LVH. The study outcome was the presence of heavy coronary artery calcification, which is defined as coronary artery calcium score >1,000 Agatston units.
