Hemodialysis is being implicated in the development of metabolic disturbances, as complications have been observed and the role of trace metals in their development has been questioned. In 78 renal failure patients who underwent hemodialysis, serum levels of zinc and copper were determined before and after first hemodialysis. Acute and chronic renal failure patients were found to have lowe...

The purpose of designing the active suspension systems is providing comfort riding and good handling in different road disturbances. In this paper a novel control method based on adaptive neuro fuzzy system in active suspension system is proposed. Choosing the proper data base to train the ANFIS has an important role in increasing the suspension system’s performance. The data base which is used...

A possible relationship between blood acid-base state and the concentration of cerebrospinal fluid potassium has been examined in patients with systemic disturbances of acid-base metabolism. Over the range of values studied it was not possible to demonstrate any significant correlation between these parameters.
