Audit of safety and quality of the use of enoxaparin for anticoagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of enoxaparin for anticoagulation during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).

Design: Six-month prospective audit on filter life, anti-Xa activity and bleeding complications among patients undergoing continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration with 1.5mg/kg enoxaparin per 24 hours.

Pitch ranking ability of cochlear implant recipients: a comparison of sound-processing strategies.

Pitch ranking of sung vowel stimuli, separated in fundamental frequency (F0) by half an octave, was measured with a group of eleven Nucleus 24 cochlear implant recipients using different sound coding strategies. In three consecutive studies, either two or three different sound coding strategies were compared to the Advanced Combinational Encoder (ACE) strategy. These strategies included Continuous Interleaved Sampling (CIS), Peak Derived Timing (PDT), Modulation Depth Enhancement (MDE), F0 Synchronized ACE (FOSync), and Multi-channel Envelope Modulation (MEM), the last four being experimental strategies.
