Development of a Direct Peritoneal Sodium Removal Technique with Salt Free Solution

Determinants of sodium removal with tidal automated peritoneal dialysis.

In a comprehensive evaluation of dialysis adequacy, major attention has been recently paid to fluid and Na balance. Removal of Na has been reported to be significantly poorer with automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) than with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Only limited data on Na removal with tidal APD have been published. We analyzed peritoneal Na mass balance in 122 separate night...

Direct oxygen removal technique for recycling titanium using molten MgCl2 salt.

Deoxidation of Ti, or direct removal of O dissolved in metallic Ti, is known to be extremely difficult when Mg is used as the deoxidizing agent. This difficulty arises because the chemical potential of O2, pO2, under Mg/MgO equilibrium is high (approximately 10(-41) atm at 1200 K) and is equivalent to that of Ti containing ∼2 mass% O at 1200 K. Therefore, when deoxidizing Ti to the commercial l...

Sodium removal in peritoneal dialysis: the role of icodextrin and peritoneal dialysis modalities.

One of the main goals of dialysis is the control of extracellular volume, because inadequate sodium and fluid removal result in fluid overload and increased mortality. In the present study, we evaluated the roles of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD), and the use of icodextrin on sodium removal in 29 patients (n = 18 on CAPD, n = 11 o...

Salt-free dyeing of cotton fabric modified with prepared chitosan-poly propylene imine dendrimer using direct dyes

This study presents a novel method for eco-friendly dyeing of cotton fabrics with direct dyes. Cotton fabric modified with chitosan-poly propylene imines dendrimer CS-PPI, and its dyeing and fastness properties were investigated using three direct dyes. The impacts of important factors, i.e., CS-PPI concentration, dye concentration, dyeing time, dyeing temperature, and salt concentration were i...
