Abstract: In this study, we build and test a prototype of an interstitial cooling device in a tissue-equivalent gel phantom mimicking the human neck. The effectiveness of the device is measured by the ...

Abstract: The nonuniformity of pore size and pore distribution of the current hemodialysis membrane results in low efficiency of uremic solute removal as well as the loss of albumin. By using nanotechnology, ...

Abstract: To develop a more efficient and optimal artificial kidney, many experimental approaches have been used to study mass transfer inside, outside, and cross hollow fiber membranes with different ...

Abstract: We used an innovative, nonintrusive MRI technique called the two-dimensional (2D) Phase-Contrast (2DPC) velocity-imaging technique to investigate the effect of flow baffles on the dialysate-side ...
