“…5,6 Therefore, anthropometric measurements and food consumption records are of great importance in determining the nutritional status of PD patients. 7 In order to optimize quality of life (QoL), it is important that patients with ESRD on PD are given appropriate nutritional requirements. Protein requirements are a key area of importance for the dietary management of patients on dialysis.…”

Introduction: This study was planned to investigate the relation between dietary macronutrient status and anthropometric measurements in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Materials and methods: A total of 28 clinically stable patients were enrolled in this study. All patients were taken a dietary therapy according to the guidelines of the American Journal of Kidney Foundation for 12 weeks. The anthropometric measurements were taken by bioelectrical impedance analyzer. The daily macronutrient intakes of the patients were calculated by the food consumption records. Results: The mean age was 48.3 AE 13.10 years [56.3 AE 7.41 years for males (n ¼ 14) and 40.3 AE 12.84 years for females (n ¼ 14)]. There were significant changes in fat percentage (%), total body water (TBW; %, L), extracellular water (ECW; %, L), basal metabolic rate over body weight (BMR/BW), and body fat mass index (BMFI) in males (p < 0.05), but there was no change in females (p > 0.05). The daily dietary energy and protein intakes were under the recommended level in the study period. Conclusion: Patients undergoing PD frequently have low intakes of protein and energy. It is recommended that individuals undergoing PD periodically maintain 3-day dietary records followed by dietary interviews conducted by a dietitian.

“…A common computational approach for scrape off layer plasmas of fusion experiments are combined packages which consist of two coupled codes: a fluid solver for the main plasma (deuterium and tritium) and a kinetic solver for neutrals (deuterium, tritium, tungsten, carbon...), see e.g. [1,2,3,4]. In addition a kinetic code for impurity ions (tungsten, carbon, beryllium...) can be added, e.g.…”

Linear kinetic Monte Carlo particle transport models are frequently employed in fusion plasma simulations to quantify atomic and surface effects on the main plasma flow dynamics. Separate codes are used for transport of neutral particles (incl. radiation) and charged particles (trace impurity ions). Integration of both modules into main plasma fluid solvers provides then self-consistent solutions, in principle. The required interfaces are far from trivial, because rapid atomic processes in particular in the edge region of fusion plasmas require either smoothing and resampling, or frequent transfer of particles from one into the other Monte Carlo code. We propose a different scheme here, in which despite the inherently different mathematical form of kinetic equations for ions and neutrals (e.g. Fokker–Planck vs. Boltzmann collision integrals) both types of particle orbits can be integrated into one single code. We show that the approximations and shortcomings of this “single sourcing” concept (e.g., restriction to explicit ion drift orbit integration) can be fully tolerable in a wide range of typical fusion edge plasma conditions, and be overcompensated by the code-system simplicity, as well as by inherently ensured consistency in geometry (one single numerical grid only) and (the common) atomic and surface process modules.
