Self-efficacy and quality of life among patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
Background: Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) is a form of chronic peritoneal dialysis for patients with chronic kidney disease. It is carried out 3-5 times per day, 7 days per week with each time the dialysis fluid in the peritoneal ...

Abdominal Pseudocyst in the Vicinity of Calcified Renal Allograft in a Patient with Peritoneal Dialysis - Case Report [PDF]
Abdominal pseudocysts are rarely reported in peritoneal dialysis and usually arise secondary to repeated dialysisrelated peritonitis. We present the case of a patient with end-stage renal disease treated for 9 years by continuous ambulatory peritoneal ...

Full-field in vivo experimental study of the strains of a breathing human abdominal wall with intra-abdominal pressure variation [PDF]
The presented study aims to assess the mechanical behaviour of the anterior abdominal wall based on an in vivo experiment on humans. Full-field measurement of abdominal wall displacement during changes of intra-abdominal pressure is performed using a digital image correlation (DIC) system.

A novel in vivo approach to assess strains of the human abdominal wall under known intraabdominal pressure [PDF]
The study concerns mechanical behaviour of a living human abdominal wall. A better mechanical understanding of a human abdominal wall and recognition of its material properties is required to find mechanically compatible surgical meshes to significantly improve the treatment of ventral hernias.

Peritoneal dialysis catheter malposition: Iatrogenic vesical perforation
Despite perceived disadvantage of percutaneous continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter placement compared to its surgical placement, complications are very rare if done by a trained nephrologist under fluoroscope guidance. We present a case of

Computational modelling of peritoneal dialysis: an overview [PDF]
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is becoming more popular as a result of a rising interest in home dialysis, lower intrusion in social life and longer preservation of residual kidney function. However, PD has several important drawbacks: small solute clearance is relatively low compared to hemodialysis and technique survival is limited.
