Residual Renal Function in Children Treated with Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Residual renal function (RRF) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving renal replacement therapy is defined as the ability of native kidneys to eliminate water and uremic toxins.

Calibration‐Free Estimation of Cerebrovascular Reactivity From Resting‐State BOLD fMRI Using Reconstructed Respiratory Fluctuations

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) provides an important index of vascular health and is conventionally quantified using a hypercapnic gas or breath‐hold challenge in conjunction with blood‐oxygen‐level‐dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD‐fMRI).

Metabolic and volume status evaluation of hemodialysis patients with and without residual renal function in the long interdialytic interval

Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2019
Introduction: It is unclear whether residual renal function (RRF) in dialysis patients can attenuate the metabolic impact of the long 68-hour interdialytic interval, in which water, acid, and electrolyte accumulation occurs. Objective: to evaluate serum

Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

Hemodialysis-induced renal perfusion decline: unraveling the pathophysiological mechanisms linking intradialytic circulatory stress to residual renal function loss

Frontiers in Pharmacology
BackgroundResidual renal function (RRF) plays a critical role in quality of life and survival in hemodialysis (HD) patients but characteristically declines after the initiation of HD.

Proteinuria as a Risk Factor for Decline in Residual Renal Function in Non-Diabetic Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2013
Background: Preservation of residual renal function (RRF) is a major issue for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Whether proteinuria is associated with a decline in RRF in patients on PD remains unclear.

Effects of Rapid Refrigeration and Modified Atmosphere Packaging on Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Fruit Quality Traits

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017
Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a tropical fruit characterized by a rapid pericarp browning and dehydration during postharvest, resulting in an accelerated shelf life and in a loss of consumer appreciation and consequently of its market value. The aim
