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.

Alkaline phosphatases in the complex chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders [PDF]
, 2018 Alkaline phosphatases (APs) remove the phosphate (dephosphorylation) needed in multiple metabolic processes (from many molecules such as proteins, nucleotides, or pyrophosphate). Therefore, APs are important for bone mineralization but paradoxically they

Indonesian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science and Technology, 2022 Anemia is often found in patients with Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD). Anemia can affect poor outcomes in hemodialysis patients. However, no publications examined the role of severe anemia as a predictor factor in six-month all-cause mortality in ...

Vascular access-specific health-related quality of life impacts among hemodialysis patients: qualitative development of the hemodialysis access-related quality of life (HARQ) instrument. [PDF]
, 2020 BackgroundEnd stage kidney disease and hemodialysis dependence are associated with impairments in health-related quality of life (HRQOL), which may be related to vascular access (VA). Few HRQOL measures are VA-specific and none differentiate HRQOL impact

The effect of intravenous vitamin C on the phosphorus level reduction in hemodialysis patients: A double blind randomized clinical trial [PDF]
, 2012 Aim The majority of hemodialysis patients are hyperphosphate-mic. Hyperphosphatemia in these patients can lead to renal oste-odystrophy, vascular calcifcation, cardiovascular events, and is independently associated with mortality risk.

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.

Sparse logistic regression on functional data [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Motivated by a hemodialysis monitoring study, we propose a logistic model with a functional predictor, called the Sparse Functional Logistic Regression (SFLR), where the corresponding coefficient function is {\it locally sparse}, that is, it is completely zero on some subregions of its domain.
