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...

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...

OBJECTIVE: In malnourished patients, in anthropometric measurements such as a decrease in the body-mass index (BMI), the triceps skinfold (TSF) thickness and the mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) are often determined al...

In this article, we report the measurement of underwater aerophobicity, through the captive-bubble method, for different polymeric coatings employed to protect microscale and nanoscale flexible electronic devices for sea...

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...

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 In this study, the erosion of the nocturnal boundary layer (NBL) was analyzed in the central Amazon during the dry season of 2014, using data from the GoAmazon 2014/5 Project and high-resolution model outputs (P...

OBJECTIVE: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias. Other than comorbidities like diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, factors like acidosis, uremia and electrolyte...

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...

In this study, a total of 111 chronic hemodialysis patients (53 male and 58 female) whose ages ranged from 11-75 years were studied in terms of renal osteodistrophy (ROD). Parameters investigated included dialysis age, s...

Importance of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has been expanded in the evaluation of hypertensive patients in clinical practice and scientific investigations. Although studies with ABPM have been conducted on...

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...

The cyclic variance of PM10 mass concentration in the urban area in the South-East of Romania has been analysed in the article. SE of Romania is considered to be a territory which has medium level of pollution for a peri...

In this study we assesed the influence of low protein diet (LPD) and very low protein diet (VLPD) plus ketosteril tablets on the nutritional and the bone status in chronic renal failure and also on its progression. Ten p...

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...

OBJECTIVES: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is common in patients with end-stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis. SCD may be caused by electrolyte imbalance or malignant arrhythmias in hemodialysis patients. We aimed to ...
