“…Nonetheless, VR simulators, benchtop and three-dimensional (3D) printed models are now being used as tools to improve performance of endoscopic procedure in a patient-specific settings[ 11 ], for example developing a case-specific surgical planning before entering the operation theatre or simulating outcomes of different approaches. In particular, several studies reported the application for preoperative simulated puncture in complex PCNL, on different simulator models[ 12 ]. Moreover, simulators can be used to study performance and comparison of different instruments as laser fibers and their settings, endoscopic baskets or flexible scopes, without risking endangering patients in an in-vivo surgical procedure[ 13 ].…”

A potassium-rich diet has several cardiovascular and renal health benefits; however, it is not recommended for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease or end-stage kidney disease because of the risk of life-threatening hyperkalemia. To assess the strength of evidence supporting potassium intake restriction in chronic kidney disease, the medical literature was searched looking for the current recommended approach and for evidence in support for such an approach. There is a lack of strong evidence supporting intense restriction of dietary potassium intake. There are several ways to reduce potassium intake without depriving the patient from fruits and vegetables, such as identifying hidden sources of potassium (processed food and preservatives) and soaking or boiling food to remove potassium. An individualized and gradual reduction of dietary potassium intake in people at risk of hyperkalemia is recommended. The current potassium dietary advice in chronic kidney disease needs to be reevaluated, individualized, and gradually introduced.
