Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
The potential use of the peritoneum as a dialyzing membrane was recognized as early as 1923 (1, 2). Nevertheless, not until a permanent indwelling peritoneal catheter was developed in 1964 by Palmer et al. (3) and later modified by Tenckhoff (4), did long-term intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) become a practical alternative to hemodialysis ...

Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
Although successful long term treatment with peritoneal dialysis was first reported by Boen et al (1), it was not until the introduction of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) by Popovich, Moncrief and colleagues in 1976 (2), that the use of peritoneal dialysis for the management of patients in end-stage renal failure increased explosively.

In situ monitoring of block copolymer self-assembly through controlled dialysis with light and neutron scattering detection [PDF]
Solution self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers (BCs) is typically performed by a solvent-to-water exchange. However, BC assemblies are often trapped in metastable states depending on the mixing conditions such as the magnitude and rate of water addition.

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
ONE of the most significant developments in the treatment of end-stage renal disease during the last 10 yr has been the emergence of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) as a treatment modality. Intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) has been available for many years but because of problems with infection and with the equipment has never ...
