The book surveys common complications in the procedure of dialysis, including those due to inherent complexities related to advanced kidney disease and the disorders that cause it. The chapters review the pathophysiology or mechanisms of each complication, how it can be recognized and managed, and more importantly how it can be prevented. The text also addresses whether the complication is due to conditions associated with kidney disease, such as frailty and muscle weakness, or whether the complication occurs as the consequence of treatment. The complications addressed include infections, AV access and catheter issues, problems in procedure, coagulation-related disorders, and falls, among others. Written by experienced dialysis experts, this book is a resource and learning tool for anyone involved in caring for patients undergoing renal replacement therapy.
Our world is facing unprecedented technological development, which affects all the sectors of society. The 4th industrial revolution has brought numerous advances that are currently integrated in our daily life, including artificial intelligence (A.I.), internet of things (IoT), genetic engineering, 3D-printing and robotics. The health care sector is one of the most impacted by these technologies of the so-called digital era. From the simple advent of medical records to robotic surgery, health care has significantly changed from the XX to XXI century and is constantly changing, incorporating novel technologies. Nephrology is itself an innovative branch of medicine, created as a discipline in...
This book presents contributions from leading international experts in the field of nephrology. Each chapter is independent and discusses nephrology in the author’s country, including the history of nephrology development, kidney disease epidemiology, clinical nephrology, dialysis practice in acute and chronic renal failure settings (hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, peritoneal dialysis), pediatric nephrology, and kidney transplantation. In addition, the book covers topics such as the job market for nephrologists, reimbursement, nephrology education, and the number of professionals in the private and public sectors. With 53 chapters and more than 300 authors from all continents offering a u...
Computational engineering/science uses a blend of applications, mathematical models and computations. Mathematical models require accurate approximations of their parameters, which are often viewed as solutions to inverse problems. Thus, the study of inverse problems is an integral part of computational engineering/science. This book presents several aspects of inverse problems along with needed prerequisite topics in numerical analysis and matrix algebra. If the reader has previously studied these prerequisites, then one can rapidly move to the inverse problems in chapters 4-8 on image restoration, thermal radiation, thermal characterization and heat transfer. “This text does provide a comprehensive introduction to inverse problems and fills a void in the literature”.

Updated and translated by André Luiz V. da Costa e Silva This book is a combination of a metallographic atlas for steels and cast irons and an introductory textbook covering the fundamentals of phase transformations and heat treatment of these materials. Every important stage of processing, from casting to cold working is clearly discussed and copiously illustrated with metallographs that show the obtained structures, both desired and those achieved when deviations occur. First published in 1951 by Professor Hubertus Colpaert from the Institute for Technological Research (IPT) of São Paulo, Brazil, this book became one of the most important Brazilian references for professionals interested...
Die Welt durchlebt eine beispiellose technologische Entwicklung, die alle Bereiche, besonders den Gesundheitssektor, beeinflusst. Die vierte industrielle Revolution bringt Neuerungen wie KI, das „Internet of Things“, Gentechnik, 3D-Druck und Robotik, die bereits Teil unseres Alltags geworden sind. Diese Technologien haben die Gesundheitsversorgung signifikant verändert, von elektronischen Patientenakten bis hin zur robotergestützten Chirurgie. Die Nephrologie, eine seit den 1960er Jahren bestehende Disziplin, hat durch Entdeckungen wie die Dialyse und die Nierentransplantation große Fortschritte gemacht. Heute beginnen moderne Technologien wie KI und 3D-Druck, die Nephrologie zu revolutionieren, mit dem Potenzial, die Behandlung von Nierenerkrankungen präziser und patientenorientierter zu gestalten. Das Buch beleuchtet die Anwendung dieser Technologien in der Nephrologie und deren Potenzial, die Versorgung zu verbessern. Es richtet sich an alle in der Nephrologen Tätigen, an Gesundheitsfachkräfte, an Forscher in verwandten Feldern und Medizinstudenten, und zeigt auf, wie diese Technologien die Behandlung von Nierenerkrankungen revolutionieren könnten.
