Predictive control and suppression of pressure surges in main oil pipelines with counter-running pressure waves

, 2019
This paper addresses pressure control in crude oil pipelines in onshore transportation systems. Maintaining pressure below the maximum rated load capacity in a linear section of an oil pipeline is considered as a control problem.

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Adipokines and blood pressure control [PDF]

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2010
In contrast to previous understanding, adipocytes are now known to produce an array of factors collectively termed 'adipokines', several of which have effects on the cardiovascular system. The marked rise in prevalence of obesity warrants investigation into the role of adipocyte-derived factors in the regulation of blood pressure.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...
