... Abstract Technology is increasingly proving beneficial in helping patients with diabetes achieve better glycemic control with less hypoglycemia. However, there are little data during pregnancy. Old randomized trials using insulin pump during pregnancy have not shown improvements in glycemic...

... Abstract Treatment planning for radiotherapy has become unthinkable without computer algorithms for dose optimization. Although the need for optimization algorithms originated from the complexity of treatment delivery technology such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy, volumetric-modulated arc...

..., continuous venovenous hemofiltration replaced CAVH because of its improved performance and safety. From the initial adoptive technology, specific machines have been designed to permit safe and reliable performance of the therapy. These new machines have progressively undergone a series of technological steps...

... the specific needs of the critically ill patient with acute kidney injury. Subsequently, specific examples of technology developments for CRRT machines are discussed, including the user interface, pumps, pressure monitoring, safety features, and anticoagulation capabilities. Introduction While...

... information technology (HIT) to detect AKI early might be useful for clinicians. Patient data can be extracted real-time from electronic health records. Programmed electronic alert systems (e-alerts) can increase clinicians' awareness for AKI. Integrated into clinical decision support systems, implementation...

... Abstract The integration of modern information communication technology and technologically advanced equipment to routine clinical practice are important technological stepping stones in the management of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). These tools improve practice and patient outcomes...

... access. Thus, continuous venovenous hemofiltration replaced CAVH because of its improved performance and safety. From the initial adoptive technology, specific machines have been designed to permit safe and reliable performance of the therapy. These new machines have progressively undergone a series...

... activated carbon technology, and the development of composite dialyser membranes by either adding carbons or other biomaterials to increase adsorption capacity to the standard dialyser. While anaphylactoid reactions used to be a recognised complication of haemodialysis, improvements in dialyser membrane...

... Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) is a novel, noninvasive, three-dimensional imaging technique that allows for the visualization of intravascular flow in the microvasculature. Swept-source OCT technology utilizes longer-wavelength infrared light than conventional...

... Abstract Diabetes technology is an evolving field. The research started with the development of blood glucose meters for patient self-testing and the introduction of insulin pen injection devices. Modern devices employ new technological features, such as the use of computer simulations...

... Abstract Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been in use for over 50 years to treat patients suffering from chronic pain who have failed conservative treatments. Despite this long history, the devices being used have changed very little. In fact, current PNS technology was developed...

... contraction [ 2 ]. Little technological advance with the technique was made over the following 150 years due to the advent and application of positive pressure ventilation or mechanical ventilation. Although the physiological aspects of electrical stimulation, muscle contraction, oxygenation, and carbon...

... Abstract The number of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) indications, targets, and devices is expanding, yet the development of the technology has been slow because many devices used for PNS do not have formal regulatory approval. Manufacturers have not sought Food and Drug Administration (FDA...
