Advances in Virology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Infectious peritonitis is found to be a leading factor in the development of viral peritonitis (VP) and encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. Bacterial and fungal infections are a major cause of peritonitis in PD patients.

New mathematical model for fluid-glucose-albumin transport in peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 A mathematical model for fluid transport in peritoneal dialysis is constructed. The model is based on a three-component nonlinear system of two-dimensional partial differential equations for fluid, glucose and albumin transport with the relevant boundary and initial conditions. Non-constant steady-state solutions of the model are studied.

Cefepime Neurotoxicity in Acute Kidney Injury: The Importance of Renal Dosing
Case Reports in Nephrology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Cefepime is widely used in sepsis owing to its broad spectrum of activity with coverage against Pseudomonas. Though it is usually well‐tolerated, in the presence of certain risk factors, renal impairment, high doses, and critical illness, it is associated with the development of neurotoxicity.

Modeling water transport processes in dialysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Mathematical modeling is an important theoretical tool which provides researchers with quantification of the permeability of dialyzing systems in renal replacement therapy. In the paper we provide a short review of the most successful theoretical approaches and refer to the corresponding experimental methods studying these phenomena in both biological ...

A Novel Vectorcardiogram System [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents the proof-of-concept investigation for a miniaturized vectorcardiogram [VCG] system for ambulatory on-body applications that continuously monitors the electrical activity of the heart in three dimensions. We investigate the minimum distance between a pair of leads in the X, Y and Z axes such that the signals are distinguishable from

Prevalence of Hypertension and Blood Pressure Control in Familial Mediterranean Fever Patients
International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Background and Objective: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is characterized by inflammatory febrile attacks with polyserositis and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. We aimed to determine the prevalence of hypertension (HT) in FMF patients and compare the frequency with that of the general population.

The optimization of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
Kidney International, 1999 medication, but he required medication thereafter. He had no episodes of peritonitis and gained 5 kg. However, his urine output gradually declined despite large doses of furosemide. At the beginning of the third year, despite an increasing dose and number of antihypertensive medications, he complained of progressive fatigue, anorexia, and ankle ...

AADNMR: A Simple Method for Rapid Identification of Bacterial/Mycobacterial Infections in Antibiotic Treated Peritoneal Dialysis Effluent Samples for Diagnosis of Infectious Peritonitis [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 An efficient method is reported for rapid identification of bacterial or mycobacterial infection in a suspected clinical/biological sample. The method is based on the fact that the ring methylene protons of cyclic fatty acids (constituting the cell membrane of several species of bacteria and mycobacteria) resonate specifically between -0.40 and 0.68 ...

International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Aims: In subjects with type 2 diabetes (DM), poor glycemic control, and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), the kidney benefit of the reduction of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is not well established. Methods: In a retrospective cohort, we included patients with DM, CKD grade 3b‐5, and HbA1c > 9% to evaluate the risk of developing major adverse ...
