A diagnostic-therapeutic pathway for patients with kidney stone disease was first published on this Journal in 2010. The present contribution aims at amending and updating the article published exactly ten years ago, to serve as an easy-to-use reference and to guide good clinical practice in this field.Questo documento è stato tradotto dall'inglese a nome dell'ERBP (European Renal Best Practice), un organo ufficiale dell'ERA-EDTA (European Renal Association - European Dialysis and Transplant Association), e si basa su una pubblicazione ufficiale edita su Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation (NDT).

Methods An on-line questionnaire including 60 questions, exploring structural and human resources, organizational aspects, activities and epidemiological data referred to 2018, was sent to the heads of all identified Italian renal or dialysis unit. Results 567 renal units were identified, 3.3 public and full renal unit pmp. The nephrology beds are about 37.6 pmp. BI-3812 inhibitor The nurses were 8,130 in HD wards, 1,827 in the nephrology wards, only 432 for outpatient clinics. Conclusions Data from this census may be used for benchmarking and comparison between centers, regions and groups of regions. These data offer a snapshot of the clinical management of renal disease in Italy.Background Given the public health challenge represented by chronic kidney disease, the Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN) promoted a census of the renal and dialysis units to analyze structural and human resources, organizational aspects, activities and workload, referring to the year 2018. Methods An on-line questionnaire including 60 questions, exploring structural and human resources, organizational aspects, activities and epidemiological data referred to 2018, was sent to the heads of all identified Italian renal or dialysis unit. Results Renal and dialysis activity was performed by over 2,718 physicians (41 pmp). The management of the acute renal failure was one of the most relevant activities in the public renal units (3,000 pmp patients in ICU and 183.000 dialysis sessions). Italian Nephrologists performed about 6000 AV fistulas out of a total of 9300. In the survey there are a lot of data regarding organization, workforce and workload of the renal unit in Italy. Conclusions Data from this census may be used for benchmarking and comparison between centers, regions and groups of regions. These data offer a snapshot of the clinical management of renal disease in Italy.The current experiments investigate how infants use goal-directed action to reason about intentionally sampled outcomes in a probabilistic inference paradigm. Older infants and young children are flexible in their expectations of sampling They expect random samples to reflect population statistics and non-random samples to reflect an agent's preferences or goals (Kushnir, Xu, & Wellman, 2010; Xu & Denison, 2009). However, more recent work shows that probabilistic inference comes online at approximately 6 months (Denison, Reed, & Xu, 2013; Kayhan, Gredebäck, & Lindskog, 2017; Ma & Xu, 2011; Wellman, Kushnir, Xu, & Brink, 2016), and thus, these sampling assumptions can be investigated at the age probabilistic reasoning first emerges. Results indicate that 6-month-old infants expect a huma
