Sensors and hybrid therapies: a new approach with automated citrate anticoagulation.

Blood Purif

Published: April 2013

Background: Hybrid therapies use intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) machines adapted to provide prolonged intermittent or continuous renal replacement therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite the low cost, hybrid therapy use is limited warranting a novel approach.

Methods: The literature was reviewed for limitations of hybrid protocols, use of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) on hybrid systems and sensors for IHD and hybrid therapy. The novel hybrid program in the authors' institution is presented as a plausible future direction for the modality.

Results: Hybrid therapies are limited by access flow and clotting alarms. Technology limitations render many IHD sensors inoperable at low dialysate flow. A synergy with RCA allows a novel, safe approach with low blood flows and high dialysate flows with alarm- and clotting-free operation and all commercial IHD sensors functional.

Conclusion: The low cost, ease of use, safety and efficacy of hybrid therapy with near-automated RCA may lead to rapid expansion of this form of ICU renal support.

The efficacy and safety of total marrow irradiation (TMI) plus a reduced dose of melphalan as autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) preconditioning for multiple myeloma (MM) patients were evaluated. The 11 patients with MM had a median age of 57 (range: 46-75) years; six of them were at standard risk and five of them were at high risk based on the Mayo Stratification of Myeloma and Risk-adapted Therapy (mSMART) standard risk factors. Before ASCT, three patients achieved stringent complete response (sCR), two patients achieved complete remission (CR), and the rest of the patients had either partial response (PR) or progressive disease.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. High-risk colorectal colitis-associated neoplasia (HR-CAN) can be difficult to treat using traditional endoscopic resection methods. Aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) on IBD patients with HR-CANs.

The monkeypox virus (MPXV), which is a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the class Poxviridae, is the causative agent of the zoonotic viral infection MPXV. The disease is similar to smallpox, but it is usually less dangerous. This study examines the evolution of the MPXV epidemic in Canada with an emphasis on the effects of control employing actual data.

In this study, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform to address the limitations of strictly acidic pH for the Fenton reaction involving FeO and the low efficiency of mono treatments. The hybrid material, FeO@Cu-TCPP, was assembled through hydrophobic interactions of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated on its surface. The efficiency of the Fenton reaction using FeO was significantly enhanced by the photo-Fenton process in the presence of Cu-TCPP.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a significant healthcare challenge, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches to address its complex and multifactorial nature. Traditional drug discovery strategies targeting single molecular targets are not sufficient for the effective treatment of AD. In recent years, MTDLs have emerged as promising candidates for AD therapy, aiming to simultaneously modulate multiple pathological targets.
