Summary: This study investigates the impact of physician-patient relationship training on medical students' interpersonal skills. The results demonstrated that students who had undergone training courses showed improvement in their interpersonal skills, particularly those who had completed multiple courses. Therefore, physician-patient relationship training is effective in initial education, but repetition of the training is necessary to increase its impact.

Summary: We present a rare but severe complication associated with peritoneal dialysis catheter removal, where the calcified Dacron cuff was intimately associated with a deep inferior epigastric perforating vessel, leading to vessel shearing and pseudoaneurysm formation. This case highlights the importance of caution and access to angiography suite when encountering calcification at the deep cuff during catheter removal.

Summary: As the global prevalence of peritoneal dialysis (PD) continues to grow, it is important for practitioners to focus on the needs and preferences of patients when prescribing treatment. PD offers numerous benefits, including more flexible scheduling compared to in-center hemodialysis (HD) and better-preserved residual kidney function. Instead of solely focusing on small solute clearance targets, a patient-centered approach that considers individualized treatment and lifestyle preferences should be emphasized.

Summary: Incremental peritoneal dialysis (PD) provides newly starting dialysis patients with a reduced treatment burden and intrusiveness, while minimizing symptoms of renal failure. It is a cost-effective approach associated with slower decline in residual kidney function and reduced environmental footprint compared to standard PD prescriptions. Awareness of incremental PD enables practitioners to provide more patient-centered dialysis prescriptions.
