Diuretic Resistance Associated With Heart Failure

Cureus, 2022
Fluid retention is common in patients with heart failure (HF) and diuretics are a major source of management and stabilization. Diuretic resistance (DR) is defined as a failure to achieve therapeutically desired congestion relief despite using an appropriate diuretic dose.

Bending Resistance and Failure Type Evaluation of Basalt Fiber RPC Beam Affected by Notch and Interfacial Damage Using Acoustic Emission

Applied Sciences, 2020
Generally, reactive powder concrete (RPC) contains steel fibers often exposed to aggressive environments. Steel fibers in such RPCs are subjected to corrosion in-service, which can significantly change the mechanical properties of the structural ...

Association of preexisting drug-resistance mutations and treatment failure in hepatitis B patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The role of preexisting minority drug-resistance mutations in treatment failure has not been fully understood in chronic hepatitis B patients. To understand mechanisms of drug resistance, we analyzed drug-resistance mutations in 46 treatment-failure ...

The Clinical Outcome of Early Periprosthetic Joint Infections Caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis and Managed by Surgical Debridement in an Era of Increasing Resistance

Antibiotics, 2022
Introduction: A risk factor for the failure of surgical debridement in patients with early periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) is the presence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms.

High failure rates of protease inhibitor-based antiretroviral treatment in rural Tanzania - A prospective cohort study.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BACKGROUND:Poor adherence to antiretroviral drugs and viral resistance are the main drivers of treatment failure in HIV-infected patients. In sub-Saharan Africa, avoidance of treatment failure on second-line protease inhibitor therapy is critical as ...

Non-invasive type 2 diabetes risk scores do not identify diabetes when the cause is β-cell failure: The Africans in America study

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
BackgroundEmerging data suggests that in sub-Saharan Africa β-cell-failure in the absence of obesity is a frequent cause of type 2 diabetes (diabetes). Traditional diabetes risk scores assume that obesity-linked insulin resistance is the primary cause of

Aldosterone status associates with insulin resistance in patients with heart failure-data from the ALOFT study [PDF]

, 2009
<b>Background</b>: Aldosterone plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In around 50% of such patients, aldosterone 'escapes' from inhibition by drugs that interrupt the renin-angiotensin axis; such patients have a worse ...

Identification of drug resistance mutations in HIV from constraints on natural evolution [PDF]

, 2015
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) evolves with extraordinary rapidity. However, its evolution is constrained by interactions between mutations in its fitness landscape.

EFFECT OF ELECTRODE FORCE ON FRACTURE TYPE OF DQSK STEEL RESISTANCE SPOT WELDS

Acta Metallurgica Slovaca, 2013
Failure mode is a qualitative measure of resistance spot weld performance. To ensure reliability of resistance spot welds during vehicle lifetime, process parameters should be adjusted so that the pullout failure mode is guaranteed.
