New mathematical model for fluid-glucose-albumin transport in peritoneal dialysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
A mathematical model for fluid transport in peritoneal dialysis is constructed. The model is based on a three-component nonlinear system of two-dimensional partial differential equations for fluid, glucose and albumin transport with the relevant boundary and initial conditions. Non-constant steady-state solutions of the model are studied.

Cefepime Neurotoxicity in Acute Kidney Injury: The Importance of Renal Dosing

Case Reports in Nephrology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Cefepime is widely used in sepsis owing to its broad spectrum of activity with coverage against Pseudomonas. Though it is usually well‐tolerated, in the presence of certain risk factors, renal impairment, high doses, and critical illness, it is associated with the development of neurotoxicity.

Peritoneoscopy in the management of catheter malfunction during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [PDF]

, 1985
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is widely used in the maintenance of patients with chronic renal failure. Obstruction or displacement of the chronic dialysis catheter, which prevents dialysate drainage, can compromise ongoing dialysis ...

Modeling water transport processes in dialysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Mathematical modeling is an important theoretical tool which provides researchers with quantification of the permeability of dialyzing systems in renal replacement therapy. In the paper we provide a short review of the most successful theoretical approaches and refer to the corresponding experimental methods studying these phenomena in both biological ...

A Novel Vectorcardiogram System [PDF]

, 2014
This paper presents the proof-of-concept investigation for a miniaturized vectorcardiogram [VCG] system for ambulatory on-body applications that continuously monitors the electrical activity of the heart in three dimensions. We investigate the minimum distance between a pair of leads in the X, Y and Z axes such that the signals are distinguishable from

Accumulation of advanced glycation end products in the peritoneal vasculature of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients with low ultra-filtration.

Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation, 1999
BACKGROUND Ultra-filtration failure is a serious complication of long-term continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This complication is related to histological changes of the peritoneum, i.e.

Predictive accuracy of comorbidity index models in assessing mortality risk among hemodialysis patients: A comprehensive single‐center observational cohort study

AGING MEDICINE, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 737-743, December 2024.
The elderly have become the main population of hemodialysis, and the comorbidity index model will be an important tool to evaluate the prognosis of elderly hemodialysis patients, and this study found the CDMF‐CCI model to have better predictive value. Abstract Objectives Comorbidity prediction models have been demonstrated to offer more comprehensive ...

AADNMR: A Simple Method for Rapid Identification of Bacterial/Mycobacterial Infections in Antibiotic Treated Peritoneal Dialysis Effluent Samples for Diagnosis of Infectious Peritonitis [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
An efficient method is reported for rapid identification of bacterial or mycobacterial infection in a suspected clinical/biological sample. The method is based on the fact that the ring methylene protons of cyclic fatty acids (constituting the cell membrane of several species of bacteria and mycobacteria) resonate specifically between -0.40 and 0.68 ...

Lymphocyte‐to‐C‐reactive protein ratio and score in patients with heart failure: Nutritional status, physical function, and prognosis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 3723-3731, December 2024.
Abstract Aims In heart failure (HF), inflammation is linked to malnutrition and impaired physical function. In this study, we aimed to assess how novel nutritional–inflammatory markers and lymphocyte‐to‐C‐reactive protein ratio (LCR) and score (LCS) are associated with the nutritional status, physical function, and prognosis of patients with HF ...
