More than meets the I(ris): Use of manual urine microscopy to complement automated findings in acute kidney injury

Evaluation of patients with acute kidney injury requires comprehensive assessment that includes a urinalysis, which Round Bar Table features both semi-quantitative assessment with a urine dipstick and urine microscopy.This process is labor intensive for clinical laboratories, and availability of excellent automated instruments for urinalysis has pr

Seismic Repair Cost-Based Assessment for Low-Rise Reinforced Concrete Archetype Buildings through Incremental Dynamic Analysis

This study presents the performance-based seismic assessment of low-rise reinforced concrete archetype buildings, considering repair costs for ordinary moment-resistant frames (OMF) and dual Insulated Container systems consisting of OMF plus special shear walls (SSW).Historically, the OMF systems, conceived for residential purposes in Ecuador resul
