Book Description
The buttonhole method for the cannulation of the arteriovenous fistula was discovered more than 40 years ago and was soon adopted on a wide scale due to its obvious benefits of decreased puncture pain and extension of the life of the arteriovenous fistula. Following reports of complications such as a higher incidence of access-related infections, the method has lately been the subject of intense scrutiny; recent research has focused on the mechanisms of buttonhole access-related infections and newer techniques that may have bearing on the future use of the buttonhole method. This book presents an easily accessible overview of information relevant to the subject, including history, benefits and the latest research results related to the buttonhole cannulation method. It aims to rekindle an awareness of the advantages of this method and to encourage a critical analysis of possible techniques to overcome current barriers that prevent a wider spread of the technique.

Recent Advances in Dialysis Therapy in Japan
Author: H. Nakamoto
Publisher: Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers
ISBN: 3318062987
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
The number of dialysis patients, and their ages, continues to increase globally. This creates major issues such as rising medical costs in an aging population, how to best manage end-of-life care, and how to train the various practitioners involved in dialysis care. After the US and China, Japan occupies 3rd place with regard to the number of dialysis patients and is also widely regarded as a world leader in dialysis. This book contains selected articles – organized into 4 chapters - that discuss recent advances in dialysis therapy in Japan. Chapter 1 presents insights into causes, risk factors, disease associations, and possible implications for management of dialysis patients. Chapter 2 examines recent progress in hemodialysis treatment, and chapter 3 focuses on developments in peritoneal dialysis. The final chapter concentrates on recent advances in apheresis and current trends in practice, among other topics. This book is aimed at nephrologists, physicians, urologists, nurses, clinical engineers, pharmacists, and nutritionists. It is a significant contribution to furthering the progress of dialysis therapy worldwide.

Modelling and Control of Dialysis Systems
Author: Ahmad Taher Azar
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642274587
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 785
Book Description
The book, to the best of the editor’s knowledge, is the first text of its kind that presents both the traditional and the modern aspects of ‘dialysis modeling and control’ in a clear, insightful and highly comprehensive writing style. It provides an in-depth analysis of the mathematical models and algorithms, and demonstrates their applications in real world problems of significant complexity. The material of this book can be useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate biomedical engineering students. This text provides an important focus on helping students understand how new concepts are related to and rely upon concepts previously presented. Also, researchers and practitioners in the field of dialysis, control systems, soft computing may benefit from it. The material is organized into 32 chapters. This book explains concepts in a clear, matter-of-fact style. In order to make the reader aware of the applied side of the subject, the book includes: Chapter openers with a chapter outline, chapter objectives, key terms list, and abstract. Solved numerical examples to illustrate the application of a particular concept, and also to encourage good problem-solving skills. More than 1000 questions to give the readers a better insight to the subject. Case studies to understand the significance of the joint usage of the dialysis modeling and control techniques in interesting problems of the real world. Summation and deepening of authors' works in recent years in the fields related. So the readers can get latest information, including latest research surveys and references related to the subjects through this book. It is hoped that through this book the reader will: Understand the fundamentals of dialysis systems and recognize when it is advantageous to use them. Gain an understanding of the wide range of dialysis modeling techniques Be able to use soft computing techniques in dialysis applications. Gain familiarity with online systems of dialysis and their applications. Recognize the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem-solving approaches. The editors would like to take this opportunity to thank all the authors for their contributions to this textbook. Without the hard work of our contributors, this book would have not been possible. The encouragement and patience of series Editor, Thomas Ditzinger is very much appreciated. Without his continuous help and assistance during the entire course of this project, the production of the book would have taken a great deal longer.
