An evaluation of different dilution modes on circuit lifespan during continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration without anticoagulation.

Background: Circuit clotting remains a major problem during continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), particularly in patients with contraindications to anticoagulant use. We hypothesized that the different options of alternative replacement fluid infusion sites might affect circuit lifespan. However, research-based evidence supporting an optimal replacement fluid infusion strategy is limited.

Effect of aspirin in patients with established asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aspirin is widely used as an antiplatelet agent for secondary prevention in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, it remains unclear whether aspirin can prevent the progression of carotid atherosclerosis or reduce vascular events and all-cause death. We performed a meta-analysis of the effect of aspirin in asymptomatic carotid atherosclerotic patients.

Efficacy and safety of topical oxygen therapy for diabetic foot ulcers: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical oxygen therapy (TOT) in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), researchers systematically retrieved relevant studies from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov. Relevant studies were searched from database inception to January 2022.

Modeling of Eddy Current Welding of Rail: Three-Dimensional Simulation.

In this paper is given a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the eddy current welding of rails where the longitudinal two directions are not ignored. In fact, usually it is considered a model where, in the two-dimensional numerical simulation of rail heat treatment, the longitudinal directions are ignored for the magnetic induction strength and temperature, and only the axial calculation is performed. Therefore, we propose the electromagnetic-thermal coupled three-dimensional model of eddy current welding.
