Background: Accurate assessment of fluid volume and hydration status is essential in many disease states, including patients with chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a wearable continuous bioimpedance sensor to detect changes in fluid volume in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis (HD).
Methods: 31 patients with end-stage renal disease were enrolled and monitored with a sensor patch (Re:Balans) on the upper back through two consecutive HD sessions and the interdialytic period between.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the ability of a novel wearable bioimpedance sensor to monitor changes in fluid balance induced by furosemide. Because iso-osmotic fluid loss is expected to primarily comprise fluid from the extracellular compartment it was hypothesized that isotonic hypovolemia would increase the extracellular resistance (R).
Methods: 27 healthy adults (20 women, 7 men; 35 ± 10 year.
Background and aims The ACR1990 criteria of fibromyalgia (FM) have been criticized due to poor reliability of tender points counting (TPC), inconsistent definitions of the widespread pain, and by not considering other symptoms than pain in the FM phenotype. Therefore, several newer self-report measures for FM criteria have emerged. The aim of this study was to translate the fibromyalgia survey questionnaire (FSQ) to Norwegian and validate both the 2011 and the 2016 fibromyalgia survey diagnostic criteria (FSDC) against the ACR1990 criteria.

Objectives: To develop a computerized pain body map (CPBM) for use in patients with advanced cancer.
