Abstract
Aim of this manuscript is to propose a clear and easily applicable classification for turbinate surgery, based on the use of a numerical model, which could be introduced in the practice of Otolaryngologists and Maxillo-Facial surgeons.Applying this classification, it will be possible to offer an easy format when describing which turbinates are involved in a procedure, and to offer a quick method to record and analyse clinical data, also for scientific purpose.

Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) patients are prone to develop iron deficiency because of consumption of iron stores during erythropoietin (EPO) therapy. Data are needed to establish the factors involved in the different iron needs among these patients. Sixty-five HD patients were prospectively studied during a year. The subjects were dialyzed through polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts (n = 23), arteriovenous native fistulae (n = 41), and a Permcath (n = 1). Twenty-four patients were administered aspirin; 23 patients, ticlopidine; 1 patient, dipyridamole; and 4 patients, anticoagulation with acenocoumarol. Iron supplementation (oral or parenteral) and laboratory parameters were recorded monthly. Significant differences in iron requirements, depending on the use of antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation agents, were found. Total parenteral iron supplements were greater in patients on antiplatelet therapy with either native or graft vascular accesses compared with the rest (2,406 +/- 1,445 versus 1,562 +/- 858 mg; P = 0.0081). Twelve of 52 patients on antiplatelet therapy required oral iron and only 1 of 13 patients not on antiplatelet therapy was administered oral iron supplements (P < 0.05). Patients on antiplatelet therapy were administered more transfusions (1.9 +/- 3.8 transfusions/y) than individuals not on antiplatelet therapy (0.15 +/- 0.3 transfusions/y; P = 0.0015). However, only patients with PTFE grafts on antiplatelet therapy had a post-HD bleeding time longer than patients not on antiplatelet therapy (9.1 +/- 3.6 versus 5.7 +/- 3.9 minutes; P < 0.0001). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the use of antiplatelet agents (P < 0.05) is an independent factor that increased the probability of requiring greater parenteral iron supplements (>2.5 g/y). Patients with PTFE grafts required more EPO than those with autologous fistulae (160 +/- 93 versus 100 +/- 63 U/kg/wk; P = 0.012). No differences between groups were found that could explain this finding. Antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation therapy implied the use of greater amounts of iron supplements in HD patients. Although these greater requirements of iron occurred in parallel with bleeding from the vascular access, additional data favor the existence of other factors, eg, interdialytic blood losses. The present study suggests that antiplatelet therapy may be an important factor in determining iron requirements in HD patients. Moreover, our data relate for the first time the use of prosthetic grafts with increased EPO requirements, an issue of great potential importance in the debate about vascular access policy in dialysis units.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is still one of the main problems affecting the dialysis population. The use of aluminium hydroxide as a phosphate binder is limited by significant long-term toxicity. Therefore, actually, most patients on haemodialysis receive treatment with calcium containing phosphate binders to avoid hyperphosphataemia.

Abstract
Twenty-three hemodialysis patients exposed to an accidental aluminum overload, showed increased erythropoietin requirements and decreased erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume (MCV). At the peak of the intoxication, MCV and plasma aluminum levels changed from unrelated (r = 0.02) to strongly related (r = 0.425) variables. The molar proportion of plasma aluminum to plasma iron increased dramatically (from 1:13.8 to 1:2.4). This significant increment in the aluminum/iron ratio made higher the relative offer of aluminum with respect to iron to the erythroid precursor cells. Accordingly, in a subset of 13 randomly selected aluminum-intoxicated patients we found increased intraerythrocytic aluminum, which paralleled the increase in plasma aluminum. Furthermore, in the aluminum-intoxicated group, intraerythrocytic ferritin, a marker of iron content, and the ratio between erythrocyte and plasma ferritin were lower (P < 0.01 and < 0.001, respectively), than in the control group. These findings support the hypothesis that in some cases of aluminum-related microcytosis, a ferropenic mycrocitosis, as expression of erythroid ferropenia, may exist in spite of the presence of normal body iron stores.
