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.

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 ...

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 ...

The Shape Parameter in the Shifted Surface Spline—A Sharp and Friendly Approach
MathematicsThis is a continuation of our previous study on the shape parameter contained in the shifted surface spline. We insist that the data points be purely scattered without meshes and the domain can be of any shape when conducting function interpolation by ...

Approximation of conic sections by weighted Lupaş post-quantum Bézier curves
Demonstratio Mathematica, 2022 This paper deals with weighted Lupaş post-quantum Bernstein blending functions and Bézier curves constructed with the help of bases via (p,q)\left(p,q)-integers. These blending functions form normalized totally positive bases.
