Chronic kidney disease and automatic reporting of estimated glomerular filtration rate: a position statement The Australasian Creatinine Consensus Working Group hronic kidney disease (CKD) is a morbid condition that is common and may be preventable. In the general Australian community, there is evidence of at least one indicator of CKD (proteinuria or reduced kidney function) in about 16 % of adults aged over 25 years.

The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) recognizes and supports the basic human rights of children, as well as rights specifically related to education. Within the United States, many of children’s basic rights are protected by law, and certain rights of disabled children in particular are protected by statutes related to education. However, there are some beliefs and principles regarding children’s rights and education that are not necessarily covered by statute, but are important enough to state. Following is a summary of NASP’s beliefs regarding children’s rights, along with a statement of related principles and goals of education. BASIC RIGHTS Decisions involving children are based on the best interests of the child and a balance of respect for parent responsibility, a recognition of the child’s evolving capacities, and respect for children’s basic

It is the position of the CSMLS that Medical Laboratory Professionals play a vital role in ensuring patient safety in the delivery of health care services. Individual medical laboratory professionals, other health care professionals, health care organizations, regulatory bodies, educational institutions, unions, accreditation organizations, governments and the public share this responsibility. The CSMLS promotes the Canadian Patient Safety Institute‘s Safety Competencies Framework, that defines six points of safety: • A commitment to applying core patient safety knowledge, skills and attitudes to everyday work. • Working within interprofessional teams to optimize both patient safety and quality of care. • Promoting patient safety through effective communication. • Anticipating, recognizing and managing situations that place patients at risk. • Optimizing human and environmental factors in managing the relationship between individual and environmental characteristics in order to optimize patient safety. • Recognizing the occurrence of an adverse event or close call and responding effectively to mitigate harm to the patient, ensure disclosure and prevent recurrence.1

1 to highlight the global pandemic of type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. It aimed to alert governments, health organisations, providers, doctors and patients to the increasing health and socioeconomic problems caused by diabetic kidney disease, including end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis and often resulting in cardiovascular death. Seven years later, the same message has become even more urgent. World Kidney Day 2010, under the auspices of the ISN, the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF) and the IDF, provides yet another chance to underline the importance of diabetic kidney disease, stress the lack of public and government awareness about the disease and emphasise that its management involves prevention, recognition and treatment of its complications. Primary prevention of type 2 diabetes will require massive lifestyle changes in the developing and developed world, supported by strong government commitment to promotional and preventive programs. The global threat of type 2 diabetes The 21st century has the most diabetogenic environment in human history. 2,3 Over the past 25 years or so, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the United States has almost doubled, with

Emergency Medicine(EM) is a new discipline for India. As Medical Council of India (MCI) makes progress in recognizing the need to develop EM residency training programs in India it is important that there exist an established training model for future faculty, residents and medical students. This INDO-US white paper makes a serious attempt to recognize the opportunities and challenges in developing academic emergency medicine in India. The contents of this white paper address the overall scenario and are not targeted towards a person, physician, body, hospital or any other associated entity. This paper emphasizes the importance of MCI recognized training in Emergency Medicine for physicians in India. ©

In efforts to develop interaction techniques for virtual environments which are extremely flexible and versatile, manipulation in virtual reality has focused heavily on visual feedback techniques (such as highlighting objects when the selection cursor passes through them) and generic input devices (such as the glove). Such virtual manipulations lack many qualities of physical manipulation of objects in the real world which users might expect or which users might unconsciously depend upon. For example, in the case of selecting a virtual object using a glove, the user must visually attend to the object (watch for it to become highlighted) before selecting it. But what if the user’s attention is needed elsewhere? What if the user is monitoring an animation and is just trying to pick up a tool? We believe that designers of virtual environments can take better advantage of human motor, proprioceptive, and haptic capabilities without necessarily giving up flexibility and versatility. In support of this statement, we present our experiences with two systems, the two-handed props interface for neurosurgical visualization [2] and with the Worlds in Miniature (WIM) metaphor [6].

sectioning a 3D volume, for example, simply requires the surgeon to hold a plastic plate (held in the preferred hand) up to the miniature head (held in the nonpreferred hand) to demonstrate the desired cross-section (fig. 1). Our informal evaluation of over fifty neurosurgeons, and of hundreds of non-physicians, has demonstrated that these interface props facilitate transfer of the user's skills for manipulating tools with two hands to the operation of an interface for visualizing volume data, without training. For this system, we have clearly chosen props which are tailored to the specific tasks and demands of our user community, that of neurosurgeons. While such application-specific tailoring limits "flexibility" in an academic sense, from a practical standpoint it makes the interface accessible to our users. The use of props raises many interesting research issues. What features or qualities would a general purpose interaction prop need to be effective, or, alternat
