Evaluation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) efficacy in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) patients, using the alternative anticoagulant bivalirudin.
Despite the lack of a strong mouse disease model, enzyme replacement of recombinant human GALNS for Morquio A was able to proceed into clinical development, and recent clinical investigation has largely been focused on the evaluation of enzyme replacement therapy in Morquio A (Clinicaltrials.gov;[Hendriksz et al., 2013b].
Although several imaging modalities are available, conventional radiography remains the mainstay of imaging evaluation of elbow replacements.
A single hospital evaluation of hip replacements during 1999 2002, for the NPR, and 1987–2003, for the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register (NAR), found that the NPR missed 3.4% and the NAR missed 0.4%, confirming the latter database to be valid and reliable [ 13].
Moreover, the bias in the evaluations of joint replacement synovial tissue is limited in our series because, as in US-guided biopsies, synoviectomy or arthroplasty in small joints were performed in active diseases, differing from large joint surgery where it is generally performed in end-stage disease [ 3].
Experimental wear testing is an essential step in the evaluation of total knee replacement (TKR) design.
Considerations relating to the evaluation of a nucleus replacement in laboratory testing environments with biological tissues are covered and a discussion of suitable animal models is presented.
After experimentally establishing the performance benefits of the novel caching strategy, we carry out an evaluation of various cache replacement policies in a Cloud-based deployment of the Context Provisioning Architecture (Cloud-based evaluation section).
In a recent article concerning evaluation of failed shoulder replacement, nerve injury was estimated to occur in 0.6% to 4% of cases (Wiater et al. 2014).
For the economic evaluation of the renal replacement modality, we documented the costs of nursing spent for each RRT, the costs of consumed RRT supplies and equipment, and the reimbursement by the German DRG (German diagnosis-related groups) system.
