Journal ArticleDOI
Filling hemodialysis catheters in the interdialytic period: heparin versus citrate versus polygeline: a prospective randomized study.
TL;DR: The results indicate that citrate or polygeline can replace heparin effectively as a filling solution for single lumen temporary hemodialysis catheters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting outcome in acute hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis treated with plasma exchange: an observational cohort study.
TL;DR: PE effectively reduced serum triglycerides faster than could be expected with conservative treatment and was associated with reduced mortality, which should be confirmed in a randomized study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of local physical training on the forearm arteries and veins in patients with end-stage renal disease
TL;DR: It is suggested that regular handgrip training increases the diameters of forearm vessels and improves endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and arteriovenous fistula construction in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous determination of trace levels of ethylmercury and methylmercury in biological samples and vaccines using sodium tetra( n -propyl)borate as derivatizing agent
TL;DR: The method presented has been shown to be suitable for determination of background levels of these contaminants in biological samples and can be used in studies related to the health effects of mercury and its species in man.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In acute hyperlipidemic pancreatitis, one to two plasma exchanges effectively reduce the serum triglyceride level, and there is a low rate of procedure‐related complications.
