OBJECTIVES: There are confl icting data regarding the insulin resistance in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease(ADPKD) patients. We investigated the relationship between insulin resistance and anthropometric mea...

Abstract The magnetic properties of the claw pole have a direct effect on the output power of a generator. Many methods can be used to measure these magnetic properties, each with its own advantages, but an important sho...

Relativity theory severely restricts the ability to perform nonlocal measurements in quantum mechanics. Studying such nonlocal schemes may thus reveal insights regarding the relations between these two fundamental theori...

Digital controller design for nonlinear systems may be complicated by the fact that an exact discrete-time plant model is not known. One existing approach employs approximate discrete-time models for stability analysis a...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the office and home blood pressure measurements with 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure measurements, and to decide which method could be used for the diagnosis of hyperten...

Robust Data Reconciliation strategies provide unbiasedvariable estimates in the presence of a moderate quantity of measurement grosserrors. Systematic errors which persist in time, as biases or drifts, overcome thisquant...

We evaluated the association of serum cholesterol levels with nutritional parameters and anthropometric measurements in non-diabetic patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment. Thirty-...

Abstract This paper presents an evaluation of multicarrier channel sounding techniques using different random and pseudo-random sequences to modulate the OFDM sounding signal. The Random (Rand), Pseudo-Noise (PN) and Zad...

We studied the near-field properties of localized surface plasmon resonances in finite linear gold nanochains using photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). The localization of the electromagnetic field in the near-fiel...

Dry.weight (DW), could be defined as the postHD weight where the patient is in a state of normohydration. We evaluated the clinical relevance of bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) and inferior vena cava (IVC) sonograph...

OBJECTIVE: Measurement of carotid artery intima-media thickness (CA-IMT) is directly associated with cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. We retrospectively investigated the impact of CA-IMT progression on new CV events in pati...
