Premature circuit clotting is a problem during continuous renal replacement therapy. We describe an algorithm for individualised anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin based on the patient's risk of bleeding and previous circuit life. The algorithm allows effective and safe nurse-led anticoagulation during continuous renal replacement therapy.

abstract background: esophageal replacement is indicated in certain circumstances including long gap esophageal atresia, severe strictures due to gastro-esophageal reflux (ger) and caustic burns. we analyzed our results of 18 patients who underwent esophageal replacement in our university hospital. methods: we reviewed esophageal replacements carried out in our department between june 1996 and ...

In recent years, the chip leakage power may be larger than the chip dynamic power because the semiconductor process technology progresses quickly. Therefore, leakage power reduction becomes an important issue for low power circuit designers. In this paper, we propose a heuristic cell replacement algorithm to reduce the leakage power of a logic design. The algorithm contains two procedures. The ...

Video playback in mobile devices is becoming increasingly popular. Since mobile devices are typically resource constrained, various video personalization strategies are used to provide personalized video content that is most relevant to the client’s request. In this paper, we propose a novel video personalization server and cache architecture, which uses automatic video segmentation and video i...

Classical buffer replacement policies, e.g., LRU, are suboptimal for database systems having flash disks for persistence, because they are not aware of the distinguished characteristics of those storage devices. We present CFDC (Clean-First Dirty-Clustered), a flash-aware buffer management algorithm, which emphasizes that clean buffer pages are first considered for replacement and that modified...

Natural phenomena show that many creatures form large social groups and move in regular patterns. Previous In this paper, we first propose an efficient distributed mining algorithm to jointly identify a group of moving objects and discover their movement patterns in wireless sensor networks. Afterward, we propose a compression algorithm, called 2P2D, which exploits the obtained group movement p...
