Introduction: Patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD) have significantly higher mortality compared with the general population. Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the primary reason for death in these patients. Suboptimal extracellular fluid management inc...
Background. Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We studied the effect of high visit-to-visit ultrafiltration (UF) variability on CV abnormalities in HD patients. Methods. T...
Technical lignins, typically obtained from the biorefining of lignocellulosic raw materials, represent a highly abundant natural aromatic feedstock with high potential in a sustainable economy scenario, especially considering the huge primary product...
This comprehensive study looks at how operational conditions affect the performance of a novel seven-channel titania ceramic ultrafiltration membrane for the treatment of produced water. A full factorial design experiment (23) was conducted to study...
Background: The increased hospital morbidity and mortality associated with hyponatremia is well recognized in the critically ill pediatric population. Neonates and infants exposed to vasopressin following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may be at increa...
This work presents the effects of variable wall permeability on two-dimensional flow and heat transfer in a leaky narrow channel containing water-based nanoparticles. The nanofluid is absorbed through the walls with an exponential rate. This situatio...
Background: Pain is a common and clinically important symptom in hemodialysis, yet its functional impact and determinants remain insufficiently characterized. This study examined factors associated with pain interference using the Pain Effects Scale...
In this study, a lab scale direct membrane filtration (DMF) system using ultrafiltration membranes was operated to compare synthetic and real wastewater to evaluate their membrane fouling propensity and the partitioning of organics and nutrients duri...
Background: Ceftolozane-tazobactam is a new antibiotic against multidrug-resistant pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosas. Ceftolozane-tazobactam dosage is still uncertain in children, especially in those with renal impairment or undergoing contin...
Textile wastewater is a challenging area for treatment by membrane separation technology due to its complex structure and the presence of reactive components. Therefore, most of the conventional technologies appear incapable of offering satisfactory...
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparations are prepared at the point of care. Centrifugation cellular density separation sequesters a fresh unit of blood into three main fractions: a platelet-poor plasma (PPP) fraction, a stratum rich in plat...
