Urea kinetic modeling measures the delivered dose of hemodialysis and is used to monitor dialysis adequacy. Obtaining samples for adequacy calculations is a challenge for home hemodialysis (HHD) patients. Ideally, the urea reduction ratio (URR) should be measured at a typical dialysis session; therefore, for HHD patients test specimens should be drawn at home and transferred to a clinical labor...

BACKGROUND Identifying reversible renal dysfunction (RD) in the setting of heart failure is challenging. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether elevated admission blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr) could identify decompensated heart failure patients likely to experience improvement in renal function (IRF) with treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive hospitalizations with...

Turkic languages are an integral part of the linguistic landscape of present-day Caucasia, both north and south of the mountain ridge. Different from the so-called “autochthonous” Caucasian languages, i.e. the languages pertaining to the Kartvelian (South-Caucasian), (North-)West Caucasian and (North-East) Caucasian families, both the southern (Oghuz) and the northern (Qypchaq) idioms of Turkic...

We describe a new hierarchical 2D-guillotine Cutting Stock Problem. In contrast to the classic cutting stock problem, waste is not an issue. The problem relates to the removal of a defective part and assembly of the remaining parts into homogeneous size blocks. The context is the packing stages of cake manufacturing. The company’s primary objective is to minimise total processing time at the su...

Methods The Amphia hospital is a large teaching hospital. In the third quarter of 2009 a BUN, defined by the national patient safety initiative, was introduced consisting of 4 components. 1) preoperative hair removal, 2) perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis, 3) normothermia and 4) limit the number of door openings. BUN compliance was measured every quarter by visual observations by dedicated in...
