Elastomeric 2D Grating and Hemispherical Optofluidic Chamber for Multifunctional Fluidic Sensing [PDF]

Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 30(12), 2466-2472 2013, 2014
We present an optofluidic sensor based on an elastomeric two-dimensional (2D) grating integrated inside a hemispherical fluid chamber. Laser beam is diffracted before (reflection) and after (transmission) going through the grating and liquid in the dome chamber.

Electrically Conductive Diamond Membrane for Electrochemical Separation Processes [PDF]

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2016, 2018
Electrochemically switchable selective membranes play an important role in selective filtration processes such as water desalination, industrial waste treatment and hemodialysis. Currently, membranes for these purposes need to be optimized in terms of electrical conductivity and stability against fouling and corrosion.

Effect of Etelcalcetide vs Cinacalcet on Serum Parathyroid Hormone in Patients Receiving Hemodialysis With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2017
Importance Secondary hyperparathyroidism contributes to extraskeletal calcification and is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Control is suboptimal in the majority of patients receiving hemodialysis.

Artificial intelligence supported anemia control system (AISACS) to prevent anemia in maintenance hemodialysis patients [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Anemia, for which erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) and iron supplements (ISs) are used as preventive measures, presents important difficulties for hemodialysis patients. Nevertheless, the number of physicians able to manage such medications appropriately is not keeping pace with the rapid increase of hemodialysis patients.

Enhancing Health Care Accessibility and Equity Through a Geoprocessing Toolbox for Spatial Accessibility Analysis: Development and Case Study [PDF]

JMIR Form Res JMIR Formative Research. 2024 Feb 21:8:e51727
Access to health care services is a critical determinant of population health and well-being. Measuring spatial accessibility to health services is essential for understanding health care distribution and addressing potential inequities. In this study, we developed a geoprocessing toolbox including Python script tools for the ArcGIS Pro environment to ...

Application of Multiple Imputation When Using Propensity Score Methods to Generalize Clinical Trials to Target Populations of Interest [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
When the distribution of treatment effect modifiers differs between the trial sample and target population, inverse probability weighting (IPSW) can be applied to achieve an unbiased estimate of the population average treatment effect in the target population.

Oxidative Stress in Hemodialysis Patients: A Review of the Literature

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2017
Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at high risk for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events. In addition to traditional risk factors, excessive oxidative stress (OS) and chronic inflammation emerge as novel and major contributors to accelerated ...
