Hemodialysis is a crucial procedure for removing toxins and waste from the body when kidneys fail to perform this function effectively. This study addresses the need to improve the efficiency and biocompatibility of membranes used in dialyzers. We simulate fluid flow through two types of membranes, Cuprophan (cellulosic) and AN69ST (synthetic), to understand the complex mechanisms involved and quantify key variables such as pressure, concentration, and flow.

The imperative for developing robust tools to detect, analyze, and characterize viruses has become increasingly evident as they continue to threaten human health. In this review, we focus on recent advancements in studying human viruses with flow virometry (FV), an emerging technique that has gained considerable momentum over the past 5 years. These advancements include the application of FV in viral surface phenotyping, viral protein functionality, virus sorting, vaccine development, and diagnostics.

Background And Aims: The primary teaching approach known as "traditional lecture" has drawbacks, including being dull and reducing student participation, which has made students feel negatively about it. It seems that by implementing certain changes, active learning techniques like the "Audience Response System" could alter students' perceptions of lectures. The purpose of this study is to find out how employing "ARS" throughout a course has affected nursing students' perceptions of traditional lectures.
