A systems approach to renal dialysis
The objective of this research programme is the development of a comprehensive mathematical model of the patient - artificial kidney machine system consisting of several interconnected subsystems of the human organism. The model is based on current general physiological knowledge, but can be …

Improvements to the kidney dialysis machine
Five changes were suggested to improve the kidney dialysis machine, including a conductivity control feedback system, a positive pressure deaeration system, a balancing system for dialysate flow control, a diaphragm-type blood pump, and an ultrafiltration control system using blood pressure …

Intradialytic Weight Gain Management for Dialysis Patients
… Disease (ESRD) patients who are dependent on hemodialysis. This issue has resulted in more complications and hospitalizations of ESRD patients who need effective IDWG management programs that are driven by nurses. This project proposes a project that is geared towards improving IDWG management for …

Nanoporous dialysis membrane for microfluidic neural probes
… Among various kinds of neural probes, dialysis neural probes have high spatial resolution, but they are limited by low temporal resolution. In order to improve temporal resolution, the dialysis process needs to be faster where molecules transport through the dialysis membrane on the …

Urban dialysis : [re]invigorating urban vitality using adhocism
… We will call this process 'urban dialysis' and for this inquiry we will investigate an ad hoc application - as an architectural condition and as a tool - to reinvigorate community vitality by adding spaces and structures for socially relevant, imaginative activities. We shall …

Self-efficacy in patients undergoing home dialysis: An integrative review
… self-efficacy among patients receiving home dialysis. The review also aimed to identify measures utilised and interventions employed to assess and improve self-efficacy. Research problem: Home dialysis requires a multidimensional approach that is associated with adherence to dialysis regimes, …

Binding study of nickel complex to protein by equilibrium dialysis
… Nickel complex was labeled with Ni63 during the dialysis, and counted by a liquid scintillation counter.</p>

An ethnographic journey to uncover the culture of dialysis units
… nurses, who are the pivotal factor in haemodialysis units, are becoming increasingly scarce. In this context it has become essential to understand the dynamics and functioning of haemodialysis units. The aim of this research project is to increase understanding of the lives of patients and …

Clinical evaluation of novel methods to determine dialysis parameters using conductivity cells
… ongoing discussion about the necessary dose of dialysis brought the result that the urea based Kt/V value is significantly correlated to morbidity of the end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Even if it is not completely accepted, it seems to be more and more agreement of the nephrological …

Uremic Toxins Removal in Kidney Dialysis through Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and Membranes
Traditional hemodialysis disturbs the personal lives of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients while providing poor outcomes (5-year survival rate <50%). Portable or wearable hemodialysis machines provide continuous hemodialysis similar to human kidneys, and have the potential to liberate ESRD …

Oxidative stress and inflammation as a response to glucose exposure and dialysis
… by the negative influences of uraemia and dialysis treatment. In addition, trace element status is also affected in dialysis patients. Hyperglycaemia contributes to glucose degradation products (GDP) and advanced glycation end product (AGE), inducing inflammation, oxidative stress and cell …

Low molecular mass proteins as markers for renal function and dialysis efficiency
… the disease because then they can be treated and dialysis treatment can be avoided. To measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) an invasive technigue is used. In this thesis an equation to estimate GFR (eGFR) by drawing a blood sample and measure the concentration of cystatin C is presented. …
