Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is increasingly used for long-term management of Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS). We compared outcomes in incident PD patients according to their baseline heart failure status.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in incident PD patients with different heart failure status (non-CRS, acute heart failure [AHF], type II CRS, type IV CRS) who started PD between 2006 and 2016 in the Peking University Third Hospital.
Background: Ultrasound is considered a reliable, widely available, non-invasive, and inexpensive imaging technique for assessing and detecting the development phases of cancer; both in vivo and ex vivo, and for understanding the effects on cell cycle and viability after ultrasound treatment.
Methods: Based on the topological continuity characteristics, and that adjacent points or areas represent similar features, we propose a topological penalized convex objective function of sparse coding, to recognize similar cell phases.
Results: This method introduces new features using a deep learning method of sparse coding with topological continuity characteristics.
