Now that we have successfully migrated to our new online platform, AJN has taken the additional step of adopting a “publish-as-you-go” strategy. Articles will be published once they have been accepted and there will no longer be the usual wait until the next issue is published. New articles will be added throughout the year and will therefore be available to be read and cited much sooner. The latest articles which we are now publishing include a short review by Halperin on the assessment of the renal response in patients with potassium disorders. Halperin first gave us the well-known transtubular K+ gradient (TTKG) but in recent years has been recommending the use of the urine K+/creatinine ratio instead. In this article he explains the reasons for this change. Kapembwa et al. present their data on technique survival in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) at Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town. Successfully maintaining patients on PD is especially important when a PD-first policy is being followed, as is the case at their centre. The issue of the access of rural patients with chronic kidney disease to healthcare is the topic of the paper by Singh et al., who report on referral patterns at a tertiary centre in Durban, South Africa. The paper by Camara et al., from the Free State province, South Africa, describes the outcomes of patients with acute kidney injury who needed continuous renal replacement therapy. In their cohort, patients with HIV infection were substantially younger and had a much worse outcome. Finally, the report by Makhoba et al. describes a case of osseous metaplasia in a renal allograft.

In this issue of the African Journal of Nephrology (AJN Vol 18, No 1) we publish original articles ranging from the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in an African population in general, to the role of HIV in kidney disease. An elegant study of fractionated heparin use in haemodialysis is also presented. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is an important modality of renal replacement to be considered in Africa in view of its ease of operation. However, beware of potential complications including sclerosing peritonitis as reported in Cape Town (South Africa).As in the past, this issue covers a wide variety of topics with contributions from diverse authors from south to west and North Africa. On behalf of the editorial board, I wish to take this opportunity to thank all of the authors and reviewers who have contributed to this issue of the journal, as well as to the readers for their sustained interest in the African Journal of Nephrology.

In South Africa the modern outlook towards time may be said to have started in 1948. Both the two major observatories, The Royal Observatory in Cape Town and the Union Observatory (now known as the Republic Observatory) in Johannesburg had, of course, been involved in the astronomical determination of time almost from their inception, and the Johannesburg Observatory has been responsible for the official time of South Africa since 1908. However the pendulum clocks then in use could not be relied on to provide an accuracy better than about 1/10 second, which was of the same order as that of the astronomical observations. It is doubtful if much use was made of even this limited accuracy outside the two observatories, and although there may – occasionally have been a demand for more accurate time, it was certainly not voiced.

Exchange Program

Abstract This article summarizes a series of trips sponsored by People to People, a professional exchange program. The trips described in this report were led by the first author of this article and include trips to South Africa, Russia, Vietnam and Cambodia, and Israel. Each of these trips included delegations of 25 to 50 speech-language pathologists and audiologists who participated in professional visits to learn of the health, education, and social conditions in each country. Additionally, opportunities to meet with communication disorders professionals, students, and persons with speech, language, or hearing disabilities were included. People to People, partnered with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), provides a meaningful and interesting way to learn and travel with colleagues.
