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.

Enhanced PI control and adaptive gain tuning schemes for distributed secondary control of an islanded microgrid

IET Renewable Power Generation, 2021
This paper develops an enhanced proportional‐integral distributed control scheme (EPI‐DCS) to regulate the frequency and voltage of a droop‐controlled microgrid and share the power mismatch, simultaneously.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Bilateral force sensorless control based on finite‐time adaptive sliding‐mode‐assisted disturbance observer

IET Control Theory & Applications, 2021
Bilateral teleoperation systems are widely used to compensate for image spin and in many other applications. Good transparency (position tracking and force feedback) is an important performance index in the control design of bilateral teleoperation ...

Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

A non‐linear adaptive excitation control scheme for feedback linearized synchronous generations in multimachine power systems

IET Generation, Transmission & Distribution, 2021
A new adaptive scheme is proposed in this paper to design excitation controllers for feedback linearized models of synchronous generators in multimachine power systems in order to ensure the stability during large disturbances.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Model identification and parametric adaptive control of hydraulic manipulator with neighborhood field optimization

IET Control Theory & Applications, 2021
The model identification and uncertain parameters estimation are common control problems in multi‐DOF manipulator system, since both model parametric uncertainties and unknown external disturbance often degrade the output performance and the close‐loop ...

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.

Self-Adjusting Prescribed Performance Control for Nonlinear Systems with Input Saturation

CoRR
Among the existing works on enhancing system performance via prescribed performance functions (PPFs), the decay rates of PPFs need to be predetermined by the designer, directly affecting the convergence time of the closed-loop system. However, if only considering accelerating the system convergence by selecting a big decay rate of the performance ...
