Development of an optical monitoring technology for urea rebound assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the study was to explore the possibility of utilizing UV-absorbance measurements of spent dialysate to assess urea rebound. Ten patients on chronic three-times-a-week hemodialysis were included in the study. On-line UV-absorbance of spent dialysate was monitored. Urea rebound was calculated based on urea concentration in blood (Rb) and UV-absorbance in spent dialysate (Ra). Rb and Ra were not statistically different. In summary, the results show that it is possible to assess postdialysis urea rebound in blood based on UV-absorbance in spent dialysate, which may offer a more personalized approach to the dialysis treatment.

Measurement of stress transients generated by a 400ns pulsed HF laser in an infrared fluoride glass fiber has been made using fast time – response piezoelectric film transducer. Acoustic signals up to 12 mV with frequencies ranging in megahertz generated by 21 mJ laser pulse when passed through the fiber axis in the linear region. It is shown that useful information such as onset of non - linea...

Infrared imagers are important for reorganization and monitoring. This paper discusses the design of an infrared imager. Optical design in medium wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long wavelength infrared (LWIR) bands is different and needs distinct detectors and materials. Reflective systems are not suitable due to their small field of view (FOV) and vignetting. Refractive dual band optical syste...
