Use of biogenic nanomaterials to improve the peritoneal dialysis technique: A Translational Research Perspective [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Intraperitoneal and catheter exit site infections are the most common complications associated with prolonged peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy used for treating the patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF). Recurrent and persistent infections often cause inflammation of the peritoneum, a condition known as infectious peritonitis and to resolve the ...

Nonparametric Marginal Analysis of Recurrent Events Data under Competing Risks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 This project was motivated by a dialysis study in northern Taiwan. Dialysis patients, after shunt implantation, may experience two types ("acute" or "non-acute") of shunt thrombosis, both of which may recur. We formulate the problem under the framework of recurrent events data in the presence of competing risks.

Renal Replacement TherapyBackground Cinacalcet hydrochloride (cinacalcet), an oral calcimimetics for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), has been widely used worldwide. In contrast, evocalcet, an improved derivative of cinacalcet, was approved only in Japan in 2018 and has not

Fabrication of magnetic clusters and rods using electrostatic co-assembly [PDF]
Progress in Colloid and Polymer Science (2010) 137:35-39, 2011 Using a novel protocol for mixing oppositely charged colloids and macromolecules, magnetic clusters and rods are fabricated using 10 nm-iron oxide nanoparticles and polymers. Here, we show that as the dispersions undergo the so-called desalting transition, spherical clusters in the range 100 nm - 1 {\mu}m form spontaneously upon dialysis or dilution ...

Accounting for total variation and robustness in profiling health care providers [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Monitoring outcomes of health care providers, such as patient deaths, hospitalizations and hospital readmissions, helps in assessing the quality of health care. We consider a large database on patients being treated at dialysis facilities in the United States, and the problem of identifying facilities with outcomes that are better than or worse than ...
