Effectiveness of combined treatment of lanthanum carbonate and hemodialysis for uremic pruritus of skin by WANG You, YU Ye-an, LI Xiang-you, YIN Qing-qiao, XIA Yuan-yu

“…Objective To observe the treatment efficiency of hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion and oral lanthanum carbonate for uremic pruritus.Methods Twenty-one patients with uremic pruritus attending blood purification room in Wuhan Third Hospital from October 2012 to April 2014 were selected and divided into two groups:A,hemodialysis and hemoperfusion treated group(n= 11),and B,hemodialysis,hemoperfusion and oral lanthanum carbonate treated group(n= 10).The renal function,blood phosphorus,parathyroid pixel and the extent of skin itch were observed and compared before and 8 weeks after treatment.Statistical tests were used to reveal the differences.Results The blood phosphorus levels in both groups were declined significantly after treatment(P<0.01),more significantly in group B than in group A(P<0.01).After treatment,PTH level in group B was significantly lower than in group A(P<0.01).The symptom of skin itch was significantly alleviated in both groups after treatment.The remission rate of treatment in group B was 90%,which was significantly higher than 63.6%in group A(P<0.01).Conclusions The combination of new phosphate binder lanthanum carbonate,hemodialysis and hemoperfusion can more effectively reduce the levels of blood phosphorus and small molecular that can cause skin pruritus,therefore relieve uremic pruritus for therapeutic purposes.…”

Plume‐Driven Subduction Termination in 3‐D Mantle Convection Models by Erin Heilman, Thorsten W. Becker

“…Substantiating our earlier 2‐D results, we observe a range of interaction scenarios, and that the plume‐driven subduction terminations we had identified earlier persist in more realistic convective flow. We analyze the dynamics of plume affected subduction, including in terms of their geometry, frequency, and the overall effect of plumes on surface dynamics as a function of the fraction of internal to bottom heating. …”

Image Fusion Techniques Based on Optimization Algorithms: A Review by Anamika Goel, Javed Wasim, Prabhat Kumar Srivastava, Kanika Malik, Monika Singh

“…In image processing applications, image fusion techniques gain popularity because they combine the most appropriate features of different source images in order to generate a single image that contains more information and is more beneficial. In this paper, initially, we have analysed the conventional spatial and transform domain image fusion techniques. …”
