Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

A Prosthetic Shank With Adaptable Torsion Stiffness and Foot Alignment

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2020
Torsion adapters in lower limb prostheses aim to increase comfort, mobility and health of users by allowing rotation in the transversal plane. A preliminary study with two transtibial amputees indicated correlations between torsional stiffness and foot ...

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Noncontact impedance control for redundant manipulators [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part A: Systems and Humans, 1999
Proposes an impedance control method that can regulate a virtual impedance between a robot manipulator and external objects using visual information. The conventional impedance control method is not useful in some cases where no interaction force between the arm and its environment exists, although it is one of the most effective control methods for ...

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Dynamic Grid Voltage-Based Impedance-Reshaped Control for the Stability Enhancement of Grid-Connected DC/AC Converter System under Bidirectional Power Flow

Energies, 2022
Considering the bidirectional three-phase DC/AC converter, it presents different impedance characteristics on AC side under different power flow directions, resulting in different stability margin.

Multi-priority Cartesian Impedance Control [PDF]

Robotics: Science and Systems VI, 2010
Manipulator compliance is well known to be important to robot manipulation and assembly. Recently, this has been highlighted by the development of new higly-compliant robot manipulators such as the Barrett arm or the DLR lightweight manipulator [1], [2].

Safety of Daprodustat for the Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease Anemia: Final Analysis of a Multicenter Postmarketing Surveillance Study in Japan

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This final analysis of a multicenter, prospective postmarketing surveillance study evaluated the safety of daprodustat in patients with chronic kidney disease anemia in routine clinical practice in Japan. Methods Patients who initiated daprodustat between September 2020 and July 2022 were registered.

Cartesian impedance control for dexterous manipulation [PDF]

Proceedings 2003 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2003) (Cat. No.03CH37453), 2004
In this work, a cartesian impedance controller purposely designed for dexterous manipulation is described. Based on the main features of the DLR Hand II, concerning kinematic structure and sensory equipment of fingers, this control strategy allows to overcome the main problems encountered in fine manipulation, namely: effects of the friction (and ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
