Infection Control Practices for Vascular Access Management in Hemodialysis: Results From a Nationwide Survey of Japanese National University Hospitals

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

New Sorting Algorithm Wave Sort (W-Sort)

CoRR
Modern comparison sorts like quicksort suffer from performance inconsistencies due to suboptimal pivot selection, leading to $(O(N^2))$ worst-case complexity, while in-place merge sort variants face challenges with data movement overhead. We introduce Wave Sort, a novel in-place sorting algorithm that addresses these limitations through a dynamic pivot

Sorting in rounds

Discrete Mathematics, 1988
The paper considers the number SORT(n,r) of parallel processors necessary to sort n elements in time r, in the case where \(r=r(n)\) is small compared to n. The author establishes an asymptotic upper bound \[ f(n,r):=2^{r+1} n^{1+1/r} (\log n)^{2-2/r} (\log \log n)^{-(r- 1)/r} \] for \(2\leq r(n)\leq \log \log \log n\). (Results by Ajtai et a. imply an

Effectiveness of a Novel Low‐Density Lipoprotein Apheresis Device Rheocarna in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe form of lower‐extremity artery disease characterized by distal lesions and microcirculatory impairment, limiting revascularization efficacy. Rheocarna is a direct hemoperfusion low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) adsorption device with potential rheological and anti‐inflammatory ...
