Biomedical Engineering. Solute Removal Characteristics in Push/Pull Hemodiafiltration.

Advances in biomedical engineering.

The most visible contributions of biomedical engineering to clinical practice involve instrumentation for diagnosis, therapy, and rehabilitation. Cell and tissue engineering also have emerged as clinical realities. In the next 25 years, advances in electronics, optics, materials, and miniaturization will accelerate development of more sophisticated devices for diagnosis and therapy, such as ima...

An analytical solution to solute transport in continuous arterio-venous hemodiafiltration (CAVHD).

In conventional intermittent hemodialysis, the overall mass transfer coefficient (Kd) of a dialyser is mostly calculated at zero ultrafiltration and at relatively high dialysate flow rates. In continuous arterio-venous hemodiafiltration (CAVHD), the dialysate flow rates are low as comparable to the rates of ultrafiltration flows, making the dialysis treatment as slow as possible. Therefore the ...

Biomedical engineering: In vitro amniogenesis.

The amniotes are a vertebrate clade including reptiles, birds and mammals, whose embryos develop from eggs that are either laid on land or nurtured within the maternal environment. The production of large eggs with stores of fluid and nutrients and, later, placentation were evolutionary breakthroughs that allowed for more extended and complex embryonic development in the terrestrial environment...
