Experimental model for CAPD studies in the rabbit [PDF]
An animal model suitable for bioeompatibility studies of peritoneal dialysis solutions is presented. It permits fluid exchanges to be performed 3 times a day for at least 28 days. thus simulating Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) in humans.

Dynamically Generated Interfaces in XML Based Architecture [PDF]
Providing on-line services on the Internet will require the definition of flexible interfaces that are capable of adapting to the user's characteristics. This is all the more important in the context of medical applications like home monitoring, where no two patients have the same medical profile.

Successful Intra-peritoneal Antibiotic Therapy for Primary Abdominal Nocardiosis in an Immunocompetent Young Female Masquerading as Carcinoma Ovary [PDF]
Nocardiosis is a common opportunistic infection in the immunocompromised and in patients with chronic debilitating diseases,e.g continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.

Serum Potassium Profile and Associated Factors in Incident Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Background/Aims: Abnormal potassium profiles are common in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We studied the factors associated with serum potassium profiles in incident PD patients.

Reconstruction of Potassium Concentrations with the ECG on Imbalanced Datasets [PDF]
End-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are facing a 30% rise for the risk of lethal cardiac events (LCE) compared to non-CKD patients. At the same time, these patients undergoing dialysis experience shifts in the potassium concentrations. The increased risk of LCE paired with the concentration changes suggest a connection between LCE and ...

Ambulatory Atrial Fibrillation Monitoring Using Wearable Photoplethysmography with Deep Learning [PDF]
We develop an algorithm that accurately detects Atrial Fibrillation (AF) episodes from photoplethysmograms (PPG) recorded in ambulatory free-living conditions. We collect and annotate a dataset containing more than 4000 hours of PPG recorded from a wrist-worn device.

Monitoring hemolysis continuously in real time [PDF]
Blood damage (hemolysis) can occur during clinical procedures, e.g. dialysis, due to human error or faulty equipment, and it can cause significant harm to the patient or even death. We propose a simple technique to monitor changes in hemolysis levels accurately, continuously, and in real time. As red blood cells rupture, the overall conductivity of the

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was introduced as a new technique for dialysis in 1976 [1]. Until that time intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD) was the only alternative to chronic intermittent haemodialysis. Despite safe indwelling catheters and the development of more or less sophisticated machines for automatic peritoneal dialysis,

Blood pressure profile in contiuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients [PDF]
Background: Cardiovascular mortality is the leading cause of death in end stage renal disease. Despite being on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), blood pressure (BP) remains poorly controlled.
