The high-speed liquid-jet velocity achieved using an injector strongly depends on the piston motion, physical property of the liquid, and container shape of the injector. Herein, we investigate the liquid ejection mechanism and a technique for estimating the ejection velocity of a high-speed liquid jet using a pyro jet injector (PJI). We apply a two-dimensional numerical simulation with an axisymmetric approximation using the commercial software ANSYS/FLUENT.

- The study investigated the impact of different calcium concentrations in dialysates on the effectiveness of etelcalcetide in treating secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in hemodialysis patients.
- After 52 weeks, the levels of important markers like parathyroid hormone and phosphate showed no significant differences between patients receiving different calcium concentrations (2.5, 2.75, and 3.0 mEq/L).
- Overall, the findings suggest that changing the calcium concentration in dialysates does not significantly affect the efficacy or dosing of etelcalcetide, indicating consistent treatment outcomes across different calcium levels.
