P1082COMPARISON OF THE REMOVAL OF PROTEIN-BOUND TOXINS AND LARGE MIDDLE MOLECULES WITH HIGH-FLUX PMMA AND MEDIUM CUT-OFF DIALYZERS

2020

Abstract Background and Aims Dialytic clearance of protein-bound toxins and large middle molecules is poor by diffusive treatment and limited by high-flux hemodialysis (HD) and on-line hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF), and only a few studies have examined how to improve their removal by other extracorporeal strategies. Since 2017, there is a new generation of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) membranes that suppress platelet adhesion on the membrane surface improving hemocompatibility and permeability, while also maintaining adsorption properties related to conventional PMMA membranes. Expanded HD (HDx) with medium cut-off (MCO) membranes has also recently been incorporated into clinical practice an…

Jaunais vīriešu skaistumkopšanas bizness: Tendences efekts vai vai patiesais nākotnes tirgus?

2019

This research highlights the development of the beauty male market in the world, we will focus on the developed countries where this specific market is omnipresent. In the 21st century, aesthetics takes a more important place in our society, and the man finds himself curiously at the heart of this trend. Moreover, his role becomes blurred because of the similarity of the sexes. The man then begins to invest territories that were until now unknown to him such as fashion and cosmetics. Today, the range of men's cosmetics is growing, and products are becoming increasingly diversified. It then becomes interesting to understand the reasons that led to this profound change in mentalities, and mor…

Differential involvement of mussel hemocyte sub-populations in the clearance of bacteria.

2008

Abstract Mussels are filter-feeders living in a bacteria-rich environment. We have previously found that numerous bacterial species are naturally present within the cell-free hemolymph, including several of the Vibrio genus, whereas the intra-cellular content of hemocytes was sterile. When bacteria were injected into the circulation of the mussel, the number of living intra-hemocyte bacteria dramatically increased in less than an hour, suggesting intense phagocytosis, then gradually decreased, with no viable bacteria remaining 12 h post-injection for Micrococcus lysodeikticus, 24 h for Vibrio splendidus and more than 48 h for V ibrio anguillarum. The total hemocyte count (THC) was dramatica…

Digitization and characterization of local reflectance of complex surfaces for visual inspection

2022

Mastering the visual perception of the surfaces of manufactured products is a central issue for industry. However, in industry, the quality of surfaces is often assessed by human inspectors. Only a few specific cases use an instrumental or photometric approach. Among the photometric approaches, one of them is experiencing significant growth: Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI). The RTI makes it possible to obtain a reduced and simplified estimate of the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and an estimate of the geometry of the surface. However, this technique has limitations in terms of data acquisition and processing. The objective is therefore to correct some of th…

A Supervised Learning Framework for Automatic Prostate Segmentation in Trans Rectal Ultrasound Images

2012

International audience; Heterogeneous intensity distribution inside the prostate gland, significant variations in prostate shape, size, inter dataset contrast variations, and imaging artifacts like shadow regions and speckle in Trans Rectal Ultrasound (TRUS) images challenge computer aided automatic or semi-automatic segmentation of the prostate. In this paper, we propose a supervised learning schema based on random forest for automatic initialization and propagation of statistical shape and appearance model. Parametric representation of the statistical model of shape and appearance is derived from principal component analysis (PCA) of the probability distribution inside the prostate and PC…

Système de détection d'anomalies d'aspect par la technique PTM

2011

This documentation details the creation of a support system for the detecting visual sur- face anomalies . This work is based on a technique called Polynomial Texture Mapping (PTM). This technique allows to highlight appearance anomalies by varying the position of the light source. It also makes possible the calculation of the surface topography. This system was designed during the first quarter of 2011 in the SYMME laboratory (Laboratory for Materials and Mechatronics), and is a part of the European research program INTERREG IV. This program aims to enhance a strength of economic activity on both sides of the border France - Switzerland : the realization of high-value products (watches, au…

El arancel integrado comunitario. Un caso práctico.

2010

El arancel es el instrumento de politica comercial mas importante para proteger la produccion domestica de un pais frente a la competencia exterior. La aplicacion practica del arancel es compleja puesto que implica conocer conceptos tales como el valor en aduana, el origen de las mercancias, etc. Este articulo presenta en un caso practico como aplicar los aranceles en la importacion de un producto, poniendo a disposicion del alumno los recursos necesarios para calcular los aranceles. Este calculo permitira seleccionar al proveedor mas competitivo entre los propuestos. Este caso ilustra como los aranceles determinan la competitividad internacional de un pais.

PET Studies of d-Methamphetamine Pharmacokinetics in Primates: Comparison with l-Methamphetamine and (—)-Cocaine

2007

The methamphetamine molecule has a chiral center and exists as 2 enantiomers, d-methamphetamine (the more active enantiomer) and l-methamphetamine (the less active enantiomer). d-Methamphetamine is associated with more intense stimulant effects and higher abuse liability. The objective of this study was to measure the pharmacokinetics of d-methamphetamine for comparison with both l-methamphetamine and (-)-cocaine in the baboon brain and peripheral organs and to assess the saturability and pharmacologic specificity of binding.d- and l-methamphetamine and (-)-cocaine were labeled with (11)C via alkylation of the norprecursors with (11)C-methyl iodide using literature methods. Six different ba…
