A PROSPECTIVE NON-RANDOMISED INTERVENTIONAL STUDY OF GOAL-DIRECTED ULTRAFILTRATION COMPARED WITH CLINICAL DRY-WEIGHT ASSESSMENT IN ACHIEVING EUVOLEMIC STATUS OF PATIENTS ON MAINTENANCE HEMODIALYSIS

An accurate assessment of intravascular volume status in hemodialysis (HD) patients presents a significant challenge.Current clinical practices to determine dry weight is flawed due to interobserver variability and nonreproducibility.This miscalculation results in either chronic hypervolemia or hypovolemia with intra or interdialytic hypotension.Th

Introduction: Herbal formulations are renowned for their complex biological activities, acting on multiple targets and pathways, as evidenced by in vitro studies.However, the hypoglycemic effect and underlying mechanisms of Shenqi Camera Accessories Compound (SQ), a traditional Chinese herbal formula, remain elusive.This study aimed to elucidate th

Ideas about shared religious education are in need of further exploration in post-apartheid South Africa.This is necessary, considering the contributions from faith communities in their shared resistance to Ricers apartheid.While some sectors of the Christian community, and particularly the Dutch Reformed Church provided a religious justification f
