Fluid management is an integral component in the management of patients with acute renal failure (ARF) in the ICU setting. In the presence of a failing kidney, fluid removal is often a challenge and requires the use of high dose diuretics with a variable response. It is often necessary in this setting to institute dialysis for volume control rather than metabolic control. CRRT techniques offer ...

the general objective of this study was to develop a highly efficient, economical andintegrated technology for the removal of nitrogen compounds through denitrification via nitrite. toachieve this, a modified uasb reactor was designed, set-up and operated using chilean zeolite asmicrobial support. the results were compared to a conventional uasb reactor used as control. thevolume of each reacto...

The present study investigates the influence of individual and combined hydrogen peroxide and thermal pre-treatment of waste activated sludge on anaerobic digestion. For so doing, it employs anaerobic batch reactors in the mesophilic conditions. For comparison, soluble fractions of organic matter, biogas production, biochemical methane potential, removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), and vol...
