Noninvasive assessment of volume status in patients with end-stage kidney disease using a wearable monitor and cutaneous hydration sensor by Melissa C. Caughey, Dhatri Kakarla, Sora Lee, Simran K. Singh, Caroline J. Poulton, Emily H. Chang

“…Abstract Background Fluid volume overload is a frequent cause of hospitalization for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and disproportionately occurs during the 2-day hemodialysis gap when patients are most susceptible to poor volume control. Noninvasive, wearable devices may hold potential for at-home volume status monitoring to prevent hospitalization but clinical validation in ESKD populations is limited. …”

ALTERNATYVI MODERNYBĖ IR JOS STRATEGIJOS by Arūnas Gelūnas

“…ALTERNATIVE MODERNITY AND ITS STRATEGIES Arūnas Gelūnas Summary The article deals with the fundamental problems in philosophy and humanities that Modernity has brought about: the split between facts and values, the weakening of interpersonal ties in society, the formation of the scientific-technological enterprise and the resulting shifts in the selfconsciousness of the individuals. Most of the outstanding critics of Modernity - Stephen Toulmin, Leszek Kolakowski, Friedrich August von Hayek and Louis Dumont - argue that Cartesian rationality and its "byproduct", rigid geometrical paradigm of knowledge, has to be replaced by a more flexible and evolution-oriented biological paradigm. …”
