Clinical Trial on Antibiotic-Lock in Tenckhoff Catheter for Relasping and Repeat Peritonitis
Biofilm formation is an important cause of catheter-related infection. In hemodialysis, use of an antibiotic-lock has been proven to be effective to manage such a complication with preservation of the central venous catheter. In peritoneal dialysis, while biofilm has been implicated in relapsing and repeat peritonitis, both of which are …
RCT of Combination Effect of Vibration Treatment and HMB Supplementation on Myosteatosis and NMJ Degeneration
The investigators' pre-clinical study confirms the positive effects of combined treatment (VT + HMB) on reducing fat-to-lean tissue ratio, intramuscular fat infiltration and increasing muscle strength in sarcopenia animal model. The results showed that fat mass could be decreased by ~32%, while histology Oil Red O staining indicated a decrease …
