Capacity Planning for Effective Cohorting of Dialysis Patients during the Coronavirus Pandemic: A Case Study [PDF]
European Journal of Operational Research (2021), 2021 Chronic dialysis patients have been among the most vulnerable groups of the society during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as they need regular treatments in a hospital environment, facing infection risk. Moreover, the demand for dialysis resources has significantly increased since many COVID-19 patients need acute dialysis due to kidney failure ...

Edema Estimation From Facial Images Taken Before and After Dialysis via Contrastive Multi-Patient Pre-Training [PDF]
IEEE.J.Biomed.Health.Inf. (2022), 2022 Edema is a common symptom of kidney disease, and quantitative measurement of edema is desired. This paper presents a method to estimate the degree of edema from facial images taken before and after dialysis of renal failure patients. As tasks to estimate the degree of edema, we perform pre- and post-dialysis classification and body weight prediction ...

A novel in vivo approach to assess strains of the human abdominal wall under known intraabdominal pressure [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 125
(2022) 104902, 2021 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.

In situ monitoring of block copolymer self-assembly through controlled dialysis with light and neutron scattering detection [PDF]
ACS Macro Letters, 2023, 12 (9), pp.1272-1279, 2023 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.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023 A novel method for tracking structural changes in gels using widely accessible microcomputed tomography is presented and validated for various hydro‐, alco‐, and aerogels. The core idea of the method is to track positions of micrometer‐sized tracer particles entrapped in the gel and relate them to the density of the gel network.

Nanocomposite membranes with Au nanoparticles for dialysis-based catalytic reduction-separation of nitroaromatic compounds [PDF]
Reactive and Functional Polymers 170, 2022, 105119, 2023 Apart from the fact that nitroaromatic compounds (NARs) have toxic and mutagenic characteristics, they are also essential substrates for the synthesis of aromatic amines (AAMs). In this context, the present study presents a new approach that enables NAR-contaminated wastewaters to be treated as a reagent for the synthesis of AAMs.
