Type of renal replacement therapy does not have a significant effect on the morbidity and mortality of HIV-infected ESRD patients. Survival is worse in patients with advanced HIV disease. Both dialysis options provide similar results in HIV patients; hence, the choice of dialysis modality should be based on patient's preference and social conditions.

For a four-layer datapath routing environment, we present an algorithm that considers all the nets simultaneously. Routing probabilities are calculated for potential routing regions and consolidated into a congestion metric. This is followed by an iterative diversion technique where the region with the maximum congestion metric is repetitively relaxed until the track probabilities crystallize into integer values of 1 and 0. We have run the algorithm on large test cases and achieved significant routability within a small number of available tracks.

In this paper, we talk about techniques to incrementally resynthesize logic cones within a large design impacted by multiple RTL changes in order to accommodate a late functional ECO. In design methodologies where the RTL is hierarchical and the post route netlist is flat, mapping a change in the behavioral description to the post layout netlist is very complicated and may not even be feasible if the RTL is not written in a synthesis friendly manner. We try to attack this problem by introducing a technique that causes minimum perturbation to the gate level netlist, thereby retaining to a large degree, the goodness metrics of timing convergence, routability and layout cleanliness that were achieved during the various design milestones. This paper talks about the cone resynthesis ECO methodology in detail and highlights its usefulness during tight product deliverable schedules.
