Objectives: Malnutrition is a common problem in chronic renal disease patients during pre-dialysis and dialysis, leading to increased cardiovascular diseases mortality. This study aimed evaluate the efficacy of supplemental protein supplementation on malnutrition peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: Eighty-four stable adult included this study. In addition standard diets, oral nutritional pro...

Dung's abstract Argumentation Framework (AF) has emerged as a central formalism in the area of knowledge representation and reasoning. Preferences AF allow to represent comparative strength arguments simple yet expressive way. Preference-based (PAF) been proposed extend with preferences form > b, whose intuitive meaning is that argument better than b. In this paper we generalize PAF by intro...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the most common renal replacement therapy used in pediatric patients with end stage renal disease. This population has a mortality rate 1,000 times greater compare to pediatric population, mainly due to cardiovascular causes. OBJECTIVE To characterize pediatric patients on chronic PD in relation to dialysis and cardiovascular outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cross s...

We here analyse numerical simulations of supersonic, hypersonic and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence that is free to decay. Our goals are to understand the dynamics of the decay and the characteristic properties of the shock waves produced. This will be useful for interpretation of observations of both motions in molecular clouds and sources of non-thermal radiation. We find that decaying hyperso...

This paper poses the problem of model order determination of an autoregressive (AR) pro ess within a Bayesian framework. Several original hierar hi al prior models are proposed that allow for the stability of the model to be enfor ed and a ount for a possible unknown initial state. Obtaining the posterior model order probabilities requires integration of the resulting posterior distribution, an...
