Correlation of bilirubin and toxic bile acids in critically ill patients with cholestatic liver dysfunction and adsorber application

Scientific Reports
Bilirubin is one of the most frequently used laboratory values to monitor critically ill patients with cholestatic liver dysfunction. Besides bilirubin, toxic bile acids (TBAs), which may cause severe organ damage, are typically elevated.

Outcomes of Renal Transplantation in Brunei Darussalam over a Twenty-Year Period (1993–2012)

Journal of Transplantation, 2014
Objectives. Brunei Darussalam has a high prevalence and incidence of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Up until 2012, all renal transplantations were performed in overseas centres, either as government-sponsored (living-related transplantation) or as self ...

Improving heavy precipitation forecasts through phase‐aware nonlinear bias correction of all‐sky infrared radiances using cloud top temperature differences

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study proposes a phase‐aware bias correction framework for all‐sky infrared radiance assimilation. Cloud top temperature differences between observations and model background fields are used to identify cloud‐phase mismatch and cold‐cloud regimes.

Bidirectional variable probability RRT algorithm for robotic path planning

, 2012
The traditional goal-bias RRT is mentioned to improve the efficiency, but it has an inherent problem, when there are lesser vertexes, the search toward the goal is often invalid; however, when there are more vertexes, the search toward other regions is ...

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Differences in dialysis modality choice between immigrant and native populations in Barcelona, Spain

Nefrología (English Edition)
Few studies have analyzed the freedom to choose their renal replacement treatment (RRT) modality in Spain. In a total of 673 patients with ACKD (stage 4 and 5) seen at the outpatient ACKD clinic of Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain) from 2009

Anticoagulation Strategies in Venovenous Hemodialysis in Critically Ill Patients: A Five-Year Evaluation in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Renal failure is a common complication among critically ill patients. Timing, dosage, and mode of renal replacement (RRT) are under debate, but also anticoagulation strategies and vascular access interfere with dialysis success.
