Latest AI and machine learning research in end stage renal disease for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: Previous work showed that normal and abnormal parathyroid glands exhibit different patterns of autofluorescence, with the former appearing brighter and more homogenous. However, an objective algorithm based on quantified measurements was not provided. The aim of this study is to develop objective algorithms for intraoperative autofluorescence assessment of parathyroid glands in primary...
Anemia, for which erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) and iron supplements (ISs) are used as preventive measures, presents important difficulties for hemodialysis patients. Nevertheless, the number of physicians able to manage such medications appropriately is not keeping pace with the rapid increase of hemodialysis patients. Moreover, the high cost of ESAs imposes heavy burdens on medical in...
Dry weight is the normal weight of hemodialysis patients after hemodialysis. If the amount of water in diabetes is too much (during hemodialysis), the...
PURPOSE: The relevance of pancreatic texture for pancreatic fistula (POPF) formation after distal pancreatectomy (DP) remains ill defined. Recent POPF...
OBJECTIVE: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has varied clinical presentations. Hematologic abnormalities secondary to PHPT have been described befor...
BACKGROUND: Spontaneous or fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB)-induced remission of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an extremely rare and gener...
OBJECTIVES: Renal papillary necrosis (RPN) occurring in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has not been reported. We present a 50-year-old woman who m...
OBJECTIVE: To familiarize the medical community with the less common adverse effects of lithium on parathyroid function, we present a case of lithium-...
BACKGROUND: The efficacy of hemodialysis (HD) is closely associated with patient survival time and quality of life. The classical method (CLM) to calc...
BACKGROUND: The effect of early initiation of dialysis on outcomes of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains controversial. We conducted...
BACKGROUND: End stage renal disease (ESRD) describes the most severe stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), when patients need dialysis or renal trans...
BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a modality of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in acute kidney injury (AKI), continues to be underused. We pres...
Anaemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this setting, iron deficiency is frequent because of the combination of increased...
The objective of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with open PD. The PubMed, EMBASE and C...
INTRODUCTION: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) suffer from functional iron deficiency where despite the presence of sufficient iron store...
Physical findings of auscultation cannot be quantified at the arteriovenous fistula examination site during daily dialysis treatment. Consequently, mi...
BACKGROUND: Besides the classic logistic regression analysis, non-parametric methods based on machine learning techniques such as random forest are pr...
Piperacillin/tazobactam (PTZ) extended infusion (EI) is often used empirically in the intensive care unit (ICU). Gram-negative (GN) organisms with PT...
