Depression and Capacity to Withdraw from Dialysis

The Journal of Clinical Ethics, 2022
A patient with a history of bipolar II disorder and end-stage renal disease who required hemodialysis for five years abruptly wished to withdraw from dialysis on day seven of her hospital admission for a urinary tract infection. She had never discussed wishing to withdraw from dialysis prior to this hospital admission.

Parasympathetic modulation withdrawal improves functional capacity in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2021
In 15 pulmonary arterial hypertension patients, the relation of functional capacity to their peripheral endothelial function and sympathaovagal modulation was studied by carrying out brachial artery ultrasound and electrocardiogram spectral analysis, respectively.

Withdrawal of Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support in Patients With Capacity

Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, 2022
Little is known about the real-time decision-making process of patients with capacity to choose withdrawal of temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS).To assess how withdrawal of temporary MCS occurs when patients possess the capacity to make this decision themselves.This retrospective case series included adults supported by CentriMag Acute ...

Platelet Thromboxane Formation Capacity after Ethanol Withdrawal in Chronic Alcoholics

Pathophysiology of Haemostasis and Thrombosis, 1988
Collagen-, arachidonate- and ADP-stimulated platelet thromboxane B₂ (TXB₂) formation was studied in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) of 14 alcoholics, 7 of whom had a biopsy-verified alcoholic fatty liver. On admission for detoxication, the alcoholics showed decreased platelet count and aggregability (p < 0 ...

Screw withdrawal capacity of full-culm P. edulis bamboo

Construction and Building Materials, 2019
Abstract The withdrawal capacity – as determined by a modified ASTM D1761 test – of screws embedded in Phyllostachys edulis bamboo culm walls is presented, demonstrating capacities and behaviour suitable for structural load bearing applications. This study considers twelve screw type-size combinations and considers whether these are predrilled or ...

Withdrawal capacity of threaded rods embedded in timber elements

Construction and Building Materials, 2015
Abstract In the present paper, the withdrawal capacity of threaded rods embedded in timber elements is investigated using both theoretical and experimental methods. A theoretical approach based on Volkersen theory, assuming a bi-linear constitutive law is developed.

Withdrawal capacity of washers in bolted timber connections

Wood Material Science and Engineering, 2009
The European Yield Model (EYM) has been accepted to determine the load-carrying capacity of structural timber connections. However, experiments of bolted connections are still not in agreement with the EYM unless the additional bearing capacity offered by the washers is taken into account.

Improved fibrinolytic capacity after withdrawal of steroid immunosuppression in renal transplant recipients.

Transplantation, 2000
Long-term steroid immunosuppression has been associated with the prothrombotic state observed in renal transplant (RT) patients, in whom both hypercoagulability due to an increase of von Willebrand factor/factor VIII complex, and impaired fibrinolysis due to PAI-1 excess have been demonstrated.

Renal Concentrating Capacity in Long‐Term Lithium Treatment and after Withdrawal of Lithium

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1980
ABSTRACT. The urinary concentrating capacity was estimated with the DDAVP test in 87 patients receiving lithium therapy, which was discontinued in all patients. The test was repeated three and eight weeks after withdrawal of lithium in 75 patients and one year after withdrawal in 27 patients. Of the 87 patients, 52 were also treated with neuroleptics,
