Doses of radiation from medical imaging procedures including fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), and nuclear medicine procedures can be substantial in certain groups of patients for whom the likelihood of repetitive studies is high.

متن کاملRisk of Stroke in Elderly Dialysis Patients
Despite the current knowledge about the risk of stroke and its related factors in general population, this issue in elderly patients receiving dialysis remains unresolved. Firstly, to compare the risk of stroke between hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD), data on 13,065 incident dialysis patients (aged ≥ 65 years; 10,675 in HD and 2,390 in PD) were retrieved from the Korean Health In...
متن کاملContinuous mortality risk among peritoneal dialysis patients.
C onventional hemodialysis (CHD) administered thrice weekly for 3to 4-hour sessions and peritoneal dialysis (PD) are the 2 most commonly delivered dialysis modalities. Patients treated with CHD are subject to short periods of rapid fluid and solute removal accompanied by brisk electrolyte shifts followed by long intervals when these substances reaccumulate. In contrast, PD uses the patient’s pe...
