Hyperosmolarity in children with hyperammonemia: a risk of brain herniation at the start of renal replacement therapy [PDF]
PurposeRenal replacement therapy (RRT) is used in hyperammonemia to reduce the concentration of ammonia in the blood. In the case of plasma hyperosmolarity, RRT can also rapidly decrease plasma osmolarity, which may increase cerebral edema in these ...

Hydrodynamics of a Semipermeable Vesicle Under Flow and Confinement [PDF]
Lipid bilayer membranes have a native (albeit small) permeability for water molecules. Under an external load, provided that the bilayer structure stays intact and does not suffer from poration or rupture, a lipid membrane deforms and its water influx/efflux is often assumed negligible in the absence of osmolarity. In this work we use boundary integral
