Background & aimsSevere Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in children is determined using anthropometry. However, bio-electrical impedance (BI) analysis could improve the estimation of altered body composition linked to edema and/or loss lean mass with SAM. We aimed assess: 1) changes BI parameters during clinical stabilization and 2) whether add prognostic value for outcome beyond use anthropometry.Met...

A key objective of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is to achieve euvolemia. Patients undergoing automated PD (APD) are frequently fluid overloaded, while anuric APD patients with low removal can have uncontrolled hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and worse survival. In this report, we aim explore the correlation status in in-home blood pressure (HBP) measurements number antihypertensives used...

The oxide film (TiO(2)) was formed on Nitinol potentiostatically in an acetic acid solution. Deep understanding of electronic properties of this film is needed to predict long-term corrosion properties of Nitinol implant material in simulated body fluid conditions. The capacitance measurements were performed under depletion conditions to study electronic (semiconducting) properties. The space c...

the effect of mentha spicata l. extract on the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel in 1.0 m hcl solution was investigated using polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the solution containing 250 ppm of the ethanolic solution of extract showed the highest inhibition efficiency (ie). the effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion ...

harmonics have become an important issue in modern power systems. the widespread penetration of non-linear loads to emerging power systems has turned power quality analysis into an important operation issue under both steady state and transient conditions. this paper employs an extended harmonic domain (ehd) based framework for dynamic analysis of long term analysis over voltages during the tra...

statement of problem: the guided bone regeneration (gbr) technique does not always produce consistent results. bone filling within the space provided by the membrane can be incomplete. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a collagen membrane (bio-gide) in combination with or without deproteinezed bovine bone mineral (bio-oss) on the healing of calvarial defects in rabbit...
