Localization of the M2-Brane

Physical Review Letters
We study quantum M2-branes in holographic backgrounds and show that their moduli spaces of zero modes are localized according to an R-symmetry Killing vector. We discuss the relation with recent results in the context of equivariant localization in gauged supergravity and argue its origin within M-theory path integrals expanded in saddle points over M2-

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

Therapeutic 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 ...
