Role of Polymerase Chain Reaction in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients with Nonbacterial Peritonitis
APIK Journal of Internal Medicine, 2023 Introduction: Culture-positive peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis depends on proper sample collection and culture technique. Patients are investigated for fungal and tubercular peritonitis once the initial peritoneal effluent grows no bacteria ...

Vasoconsrictive and vasodilatative imbalance at experimental fecal peritonitis
Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2019 Peritonitis problem today one of the most urgent issues in the field of clinical pathological physiology and abdominal surgery. According to various data, mortality in peritonitis is 18.3 - 62.8%.

Enhancing Innate and Adaptive Immune Systems by Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) and Its Antitumor Immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a near room temperature ionized gas, generated under non-equilibrium discharge conditions. Here we show that a short exposure of rat peritoneal exudate macrophages and T-cells to CAP in vitro, triggered an inflammatory phenotype leading to better antigen-presenting and effector cell function respectively. Different from

Generalizability analyses with a partially nested trial design: the Necrotizing Enterocolitis Surgery Trial [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We discuss generalizability analyses under a partially nested trial design, where part of the trial is nested within a cohort of trial-eligible individuals, while the rest of the trial is not nested. This design arises, for example, when only some centers participating in a trial are able to collect data on non-randomized individuals, or when data on ...

Use of biogenic nanomaterials to improve the peritoneal dialysis technique: A Translational Research Perspective [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Intraperitoneal and catheter exit site infections are the most common complications associated with prolonged peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy used for treating the patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF). Recurrent and persistent infections often cause inflammation of the peritoneum, a condition known as infectious peritonitis and to resolve the ...

Peritoneal Tuberculosis Mimicking Peritoneal Carcinomatosis [PDF]
Case Reports in Medicine, 2014 A 67-year-old male presented with fatigue, abdominal pain , and 30-pound weight loss over 3 months. Computerized tomography (CT) abdomen displayed ascites with thickening and enhancement of the peritoneum and mottled nodular appearing as soft tissue consistent with omental caking worrisome for peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Applying a random projection algorithm to optimize machine learning model for predicting peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer patients using CT images [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Background and Objective: Non-invasively predicting the risk of cancer metastasis before surgery plays an essential role in determining optimal treatment methods for cancer patients (including who can benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy). Although developing radiomics based machine learning (ML) models has attracted broad research interest for this ...
