Potential predictors of the functional health status of 125 end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients were studied cross-sectionally. When health status was assessed by the physician with the Karnofsky Index, younger patient age, lower ESRD severity of illness, lower comorbidity severity, and higher albumin levels were predictors of better health [R-square = 0.48]. When patients self-reported the...

interesting and agrees with the general concept developed earlier (Davson and Duke-Elder, 1948) that the barrier separating the blood from the vitreous body is more selective than that separating it from the aqueous humour. The fact that urea, on the other hand, penetrates so readily into the vitreous is interesting: it may be suggested (at this stage purely as a conjecture) that it may, like t...
