Download or read book Innovations in Nephrology written by Geraldo Bezerra da Silva Junior and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-28 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world is facing unprecedented technological development, which affects all the sectors of society. The 4th industrial revolution has brought numerous advances that are currently integrated in our daily life, including artificial intelligence (A.I.), internet of things (IoT), genetic engineering, 3D-printing and robotics. The health care sector is one of the most impacted by these technologies of the so-called digital era. From the simple advent of medical records to robotic surgery, health care has significantly changed from the XX to XXI century and is constantly changing, incorporating novel technologies. Nephrology is itself an innovative branch of medicine, created as a discipline in the 1960s, with breakthrough inventions, such as the dialysis machine, which made it possible to prolong life of those who suffer from chronic kidney disease; kidney transplant, with point-of-care immunosuppression that favours maintenance of kidney allografts for long years; kidney biopsy, which made it possible to discover the mysteries of glomerulonephritis and nephropathology. Novel technologies, such as A.I., IoT, robotics, stem cells, 3D-printing, mHealth, eHealth and several others are starting to be applied in nephrology, with promising results. It is possible that a great part of these technologies will become routinely available in clinical practice, and the burden of kidney diseases will significantly decrease once prevention, prediction, detection, monitoring and treatment of kidney diseases are more precise, with patients taking part in the process and becoming more and more connected. This book gathers essential information on the technologies that have been applied in nephrology and that can be applied in the future, with real possibilities of improving the care of kidney diseases. At first glance, this work is directed to the entire nephrology community and all the healthcare professionals that deal with kidney diseases. Researchers from different fields, not directly linked to nephrology, may also be interested in the book since many of the topics presented are related to other areas and serve as examples of their uses in medicine, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and big data. Finally, the content provides an important resource to medical students, discussing technologies that will certainly be integrated in their professional practice.

Book excerpt: As can be easily seen, Module 2 contains assorted material to assist the nurse in understanding kidney disease, the patient with kidney disease, and interrelated topics. Chapter 1 begins with an in-depth review of genetics and genomics, since many experienced nurses learned relatively little about the topic when in school. The completion of the Human Genome Project catapulted genetic research that is already transforming health care and has great potential to continue this transformation. It certainly includes nephrology care and requires that nephrology nurses be knowledgeable about the matter. The chapter also covers anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. Chapter 2 focuses specifically on chronic kidney disease and delivers a more detailed approach than the material presented in the previous chapter. Chapter 3 provides a wide array of material to be considered when caring for an individual patient. One of the new areas includes focus on the veteran. Chapter 4 concentrates on nutrition, and Chapter 5 addresses pharmacology. It behooves every nurse to always stay abreast of changes regarding medications, as this is one area that can change rapidly. At all times, be familiar with the package insert and consult with a pharmacist or other reliable source as needed. The foundation of Chapter 6 is infection control practices and is another area where information can change rapidly.
