متن کاملHaemodialysis with on-line monitoring equipment: tools or toys?
BACKGROUND On-line monitoring of chemical/physical signals during haemodialysis (HD) and bio-feedback represents the first step towards a 'physiological' HD system incorporating adaptive and logic controls in order to achieve pre-set treatment targets. METHODS Discussions took place to achieve a consensus on key points relating to on-line monitoring and bio-feedback, focusing on the clinical ...
متن کاملBiofilm in milking equipment on a dairy farm as a potential source of bulk tank milk contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
