We describe the fabrication and characterization of a nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switch based on carbon nanotubes. Our NEM structure consists of single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) suspended over… (More)
OBJECTIVES
We studied the effect of body mass index (BMI) at peritoneal dialysis (PD) initiation on patient and technique survival and on peritonitis during follow-up.
METHODS
We followed 328… (More)
A carbon nanotube thermal-conductivity-based pressure or gas sensor is described, which utilizes 5-10 microm long, diffusively contacted single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs). Low temperature electrical… (More)
BACKGROUND
Granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis (GIN) is common due to infections, drugs or sarcoidosis. However, the cause is often difficult to establish and the studies are limited. We… (More)
AIM
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with higher mortality and morbidity in the general population. However, the effect of MS and its individual components on clinical outcomes in non-diabetic… (More)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Malnutrition and comorbid diseases are strong predictors of mortality in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). We undertook this study to analyze the… (More)
Solution processed two-dimensional (2D) layered materials and their integration with additive manufacturing techniques, such as ink-jet printing, is a facile approach for incorporating these exotic… (More)
We have performed mechanical and electrical characterization of individual as-grown, vertically oriented carbon nanofibers (CNFs) using in situ techniques, where such high-aspect-ratio, nanoscale… (More)
OBJECTIVES
Despite increased use of diabetogenic immunosuppressive drugs and increased incidence of new-onset diabetes after transplant in renal allograft recipients, there are few case studies on… (More)
BACKGROUND
We aimed to longitudinally analyse changes in the levels of serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and associated minerals in patients undergoing… (More)
