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

open access: yesTherapeutic 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.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Design of State-Feedback Controllers for Linear Parameter Varying Systems Subject to Time-Varying Input Saturation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
All real-world systems are affected by the saturation phenomenon due to inherent physical limitations of actuators. These limitations should be taken into account in the controller’s design to prevent a possibly severe deterioration of the system ...

On The Similarity State Transformation for Linear Parameter-Varying Systems [PDF]

open access: yesIFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2011
Similarity state transformations between equivalent State-Space (SS) representations of discrete-time Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems are investigated. Based on previous results, it is known that to characterize all equivalent LPV-SS representations, the state-transformation matrix must depend dynamically on the scheduling variable.

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

open access: yesTherapeutic 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 ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Kernelized Identification of Linear Parameter-Varying Models with Linear Fractional Representation

open access: yes2019 18th European Control Conference (ECC), 2019
The article presents a method for the identification of Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) models in a Linear Fractional Representation (LFR), which corresponds to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) model connected to a scheduling variable dependency via a feedback path. A two-stage identification approach is proposed.

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Robust Model Predictive Sliding Mode Control of Linear Parameter Varying Systems

open access: yesIEEE Access
The stability and performance of nonlinear systems under uncertainty are guaranteed by this paper’s robust model predictive control (MPC) approach, which combines sliding mode control (SMC) with a polytopic linear parameter varying (PLPV ...
