Arrhythmia and Time of Day in Maintenance Hemodialysis: Secondary Analysis of the Monitoring in Dialysis Study Open
Clinically significant arrhythmias showed strong diurnal patterns with a maximal peak between 12:00 AM and 5:59 AM and noon. Although overall arrhythmia rates were similar, the peak rate occurred overnight in individuals without heart fail…

Accents as honest signals of in-group membership Open
Accents, along with other cultural features including shared place of origin, helped to increase the number of people with whom an individual could signal cooperative tendencies (Cohen, 2012). Yet as groups became larger and underwent cont…

Does experience matter? The relationship between nephrologist characteristics and end stage kidney disease patient outcomes Open
Background Nephrology offers the unique opportunity to directly link patients to providers, allowing the study of patient outcomes at the provider level. The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether nephrologist experience, define…

A novel system for classifying tooth root phenotypes. Open
Human root and canal number and morphology are highly variable, and internal root canal form and count does not necessarily co-vary directly with external morphology. While several typologies and classifications have been developed to addr…

Trends in Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor and Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker Use among Those with Impaired Kidney Function in the United States Open
Significance Statement Although angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) medications are mainstays of treatment in CKD, the frequency of ACE/ARB use has not been well characterized in this pop…

Population-Wide Associations between Common Viral Pathogens and Self-Reported Arthritis: NHANES 2009-2012 Open
Objective . Persistent infectious agents have been implicated in chronic and recurrent inflammation, which may trigger or worsen many types of arthritis. Our objective was to determine whether exposure to herpes simplex virus (HSV) and hum…

Race, Ethnicity, and End-of-Life Care in Dialysis Patients in the United States Open
Background End-of-life care is a prominent consideration in patients on maintenance dialysis, especially when death appears imminent and quality of life is poor. To date, examination of race- and ethnicity-associated disparities in end-of-…

Primary outcomes of the Monitoring in Dialysis Study indicate that clinically significant arrhythmias are common in hemodialysis patients and related to dialytic cycle Open
Sudden death is one of the more frequent causes of death for hemodialysis patients, but the underlying mechanisms, contribution of arrhythmia, and associations with serum chemistries or the dialysis procedure are incompletely understood. T…

The impact of outpatient acute kidney injury on mortality and chronic kidney disease: a retrospective cohort study Open
Outpatient AKI is more prevalent than inpatient AKI and is a risk factor for all-cause mortality and renal events, even among those who recover kidney function. Further research is necessary to determine risk factors and identify strategie…

Renal Function Profile in White Kidney Donors: The First 4 Decades Open
Previous studies reported the risk of ESRD after kidney donation, but not the renal outcomes that precede ESRD. Here, we estimated the risk of proteinuria, reduced GFR, and ESRD in 3956 white kidney donors, assessed the contribution of pos…
