Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 18-month Baduanjin exercise on shoulder joint function in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. 60 MHD patients aged 18-75 will included in this study and randomly divided into two groups (intervention group and control group). The intervention group will be led by a professional person and underwent Baduanjin exercise three times a week before hemodialysis. The control group maintained routine treatment and daily activities.
Different cross-over studies have been performed investigating dialyzer fiber patency in different dialysis setups. Herewith, post dialysis micro computed tomography (CT) images of the dialyzer were compared. For the best interpretation of such results, one should have an idea about the intrapatient variability. There is also no clue about the impact of long distance transportation and long cold storage on the reproducibility of the micro CT images. Another bottle neck is that, up till now, no biochemical parameter or test has been found associated with the outcome of dialyzer fiber patency post dialysis. The present study therefore aims at determining the intrapatient variability and the impact on the micro CT results of long distance transportation and long cold storage of the dialyzers. Also, whole blood thrombin generation tests are performed to look for associations with the micro CT results.
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental research to examine the effect of nature sounds and music on vital signs and anxiety levels of hemodialysis patients. The study was conducted between September 6, 2019 and March 21, 2020 with 75 patients who received treatment in the hemodialysis units of three hospitals, one university, one education research and one state hospital in Antalya province, met the inclusion criteria and consented to participate in the study. Patients were homogenously divided into intervention (nature sound group n=25 and music group n=25) and control (n=25) groups on the basis of age, gender and hemodialysis duration. Patients in the intervention group were subjected to nature sounds/music during the hemodialysis procedure, while patients in the control group were not subjected to any intervention during the procedure. The data were collected by face-to-face interview technique using the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Vital Signs Monitoring Form", "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Trait Anxiety Inventory". Ethics committee approval, institutional permissions and written consent of the patients were obtained for the implementation of the study. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum, the the Shapiro Wilk normality test, One-Way Analysis of Variance, Chi-Square tests, the Kruskal Wallis test, Dunn-Bonferroni test, Tukey HSD, Three-Way Analysis of Variance and Bonferroni Corrected Two Ratio Z test were employed in the evaluation of the data.
The goal of this observational study is to assess validity and reliability of Persian Version of Low Physical Activity Questionnaire. The main questions it mains to answer are: What is the level of physical activity in hemodialysis patients? Is Persian Version of Low Physical Activity Questionnaire, Valid to assess physical activity levels of dialysis patients? Is Persian Version of Low Physical Activity Questionnaire, reliable? Participants will answer 3 questionnaires and will do some functional tests.
This is prospective single-blind randomized study, in Ain Shams University hospital) in Egypt, to assess the impact of Cholecalciferol on Anemia status in regular hemodialysis outpatients
In dialysis centers, many patients are undergoing hemodialysis simultaneously, which facilitates the spread of microorganisms by direct or indirect contact through the devices, equipment, surface contact, and hands of health profession Over time, catheters are prone to higher rates of infection, thrombosis, and central venous stenosis, it has also been shown that catheters are an independent (of infection) inflammatory stressor and lead to increased morbidity . Catheters are aptly referred to as a bacterial highway, and a biofilm formation around the catheter is often the breeding ground of bacteria and fungi, which can easily spread to the bloodstream Infectious complications are the most serious with regards to patient morbidity and mortality. The incidence could be from 3.8 to5.5 episodes per 1000 days Migration of micro-organism along the external surface of the catheter is probably the most common route of infection through skin and represents 58% .HD catheter has biofilm formation on their surfaces and this serves as a good reservoir for micro-organisms Most patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) starting hemodialysis through hemodialysis catheter about 9 % in Egypt and most of them require several hemodialysis catheters before maturation of arterio -venous fistula and even after stopping it.
Establishing the euvolemic state in hemodialysis patients -the so called "dry weight"- is an important clinical conundrum in every nephrologist's daily practice. Underestimation of dry weight (with excessive ultrafiltration) results in dialysis-induced hypotension. Currently used methods to establish dry weight, including clinical assessment, bio-impedance spectroscopy and online relative blood volume (RBV) measurements, all have their limitations. RBV measurement reflects changes in blood volume during dialysis without providing any information about the initial hydration status, or the initial absolute blood volume (ABV). Recently, researchers proposed a new method to calculate ABV, by using the principle of dilution-indicator with RBV measurement. In a small cohort study they identified a total blood volume threshold of 65 millilitres per kilogram dry weight predicting for intra-dialytic hypotension associated symptoms. The goal of current clinical trial is to re-investigate the accuracy of the above-described method and to confirm the hypothesis of a critical threshold of 65 ml blood volume per kg dry weight in haemodialysis patients. Researchers will compare adjustment of dry weight based on the ABV measurement with standard care to see if dialysis-induced hypotension will be reduced.
This study aims to explore whether an 8-week Triflow breath training program reduced the anxiety levels and improved the heart rate variability and quality of life of patients receiving hemodialysis. To investigate the effect of the triflow respiration training on the improvement of heart rate variability, anxiety, and the quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
The goal of this observational study is to compare hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients. The main questions it mains to answer are: - What is the level of physical activity in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? - What is the level of quality of life of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? - Is there any relation between inactivity and quality of life in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? Participants will answer 2 questionnaires and will do some functional tests.
The goal of this study is to find out the effect of interval versus continous intradialytic training on muscle quality index and functional capacity in Hemodialysis patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Does interval versus continous intradialytic training have an effect on muscle quality index and functional capacity in hemodialysis patients? Patients will be assigned randomly by computerized block randomization into two groups:Group (A): 30 patients will participate in 8 weeks of aerobic exercise in the form of high intensity interval training (HIIT) intradialytic pedaling exercise plus hemodialysis (3 sessions per week).Group (B): 30 patients will participate in 8 weeks of aerobic exercise in the form of moderate intensity continous training (MICT) intradialytic pedaling exercise plus hemodialysis (3 sessions per week) . primary and secondary variables will be measured before starting treatment and after completion (after 2 months )
