Irrigations and Dialysis Solutions
Irrigations are sterile solutions that are used in many ways, such as flushing a catheter, the bladder, the urethra, wounds, body cavities, and the operation area or for drenching a bandage. A special form of irrigation are solutions for dialysis that are necessary for the different types of dialysis such as haemodialysis (HD), haemo(dia)filtration ...

Peritoneal Dialysis in Diabetics: There Is Room for More
End stage renal disease diabetic patients suffer from worse clinical outcomes under dialysis-independently of modality. Peritoneal dialysis offers them the advantages of home therapy while sparing their frail vascular capital and preserving residual ...

The refolding of recombinant human liver methylmalonyl-CoA mutase from inclusion bodies produced in Escherichia coli : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]
Human methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (hMCM) is an adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzyme that catalyses the structural rearrangement of (R)-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA as pan of the catabolism of the branched chain amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine,

Augmenting solute clearance in peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
The removal of low molecular weight solutes by peritoneal dialysis is less than by hemodialysis. The targets for Kt/Vurea and creatinine clearance formulated in the Dialysis Outcome Quality Initiative are unlikely to be achieved in a substantial portion of peritoneal dialysis patients.

Biocompatible Peritoneal Dialysis Solutions [PDF]
Clinical experience and literature evidence suggest that peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a safe and effective treatment in short term (3 to 5 years) for stage 5 chronic kidney disease patients. A major limitation to long-term PD has been peritoneal membrane structural and functional alterations over time, resulting in significant technique failure.
