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.

Peritonitis as a complication of peritoneal dialysis. [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1998
Peritonitis continues to be a serious complication for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritonitis is one of the major causes of hospitalization, accounting for 23% of admissions in the CANUSA study (1). Peritonitis is the leading cause of technique failure and catheter loss (2,3). Patients with frequent peritonitis are at increased risk of dying,

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 ...

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.
