“…The use of current web-based learning tools such as blogs, wikis, podcasts, and other social media must be strongly considered during fellowship training (32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37). These teaching tools may not only increase interest in nephrology, but may also enhance and maintain interest during nephrology fellowship.…”

SummaryAlthough many anticipate that there will be an eventual shortage of practicing nephrologists, a complete understanding is lacking regarding the current factors that lead US adult nephrology fellows to choose nephrology as a career and their satisfaction with this choice. It is of great concern that interest in obtaining nephrology fellowship training continues to decline in the United States, especially among US medical graduates, and the reasons for this are unclear. The exposure that students and residents have to nephrology is likely to play an important role in the career choices that they make and their ultimate satisfaction with this career choice is likely influenced by several factors, including job opportunities. Some of the findings presented here suggest that there may be a high percentage of nephrology fellows who are dissatisfied with their career choice. Failure to understand the factors that influence trainees to choose nephrology as a career and those that affect their satisfaction with this choice may impair the ability to graduate a sufficient number of nephrologists to meet projected demand. In this article, a number of variables related to the choice of nephrology as a career and satisfaction with a career in nephrology are discussed. Some steps that the nephrology training community might take to help promote interest in nephrology and optimize the satisfaction that nephrology graduates derive from their careers are also proposed.

Cholesterol-embolization syndrome (CES) is a multisystemic disease with various clinical manifestations. CES is caused by embolization of cholesterol crystals (CCs) from atherosclerotic plaques located in the major arteries, and is induced mostly iatrogenically by interventional and surgical procedures; however, it may also occur spontaneously. Embolized CCs lead to both ischemic and inflammatory damage to the target organ. Therefore, anti-inflammatory agents, such as corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide, have been investigated as treatment for CES in several studies, with conflicting results. Recent research has revealed that CES is actually a kind of autoinflammatory disease in which inflammasome pathways, such as NLRP3 and IL1, are induced by CCs. These recent findings may have clinical implications such that colchicine and IL1 inhibitors, namely canakinumab, may be beneficial in the early stages of CES.

“…Web-based nephropathology teaching modules have also been well received with increased learner satisfaction. 12 Although online or Web-based learning ( Table 3 ) could enhance the knowledge and satisfaction of all fellows, this tool could certainly play an important role in the nephropathology education of fellows in programs that do not have a robust on-site nephropathology staff and services. For example, a recently initiated, Web-based nephropathology educational conference known as “GlomCon” discusses difficult glomerular disease cases among trainees, nephrologists and nephropathologists from community medical centers and academic institutions.…”
