    Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect autonomy and independence. Our research explores the integration of Cross-Reality and Conversational Agents for Autistic persons to improve ability and confidence in everyday life situations. We combine two technologies of the Virtual-Real continuum. User experiences unfold from the simulation of tasks in VR to the execution of similar tasks supported by AR in the real world. A speech-based Conversational Agent is integrated with both VR and AR. It provides contextualized help, promotes generalization, and stimulates users to apply what they learned in the virtual space. The paper presents the approach and describes an empirical study involving 17 young Autistic persons.

    Abstract Background: Slow continuous ultrafiltration (SCUF) by central venous catheter (CVC) for hemodialysis is a simple extracorporeal ultrafiltration that can reduce and control fluid overload in patients with chronic or acute chronic heart failure unresponsive to medical therapy. In order to avoid complications and risks related to the catheterization with a standard CVC for hemodialysis to provide the SCUF, considering that hospitalized patients affected by congestive heart failure commonly undergo CVC placement for medications delivering, we tested an in vitro model to use a standard CVC for infusion to perform SCUF.
    Methods: We performed an in vitro SCUF experimental model through two different lumens of a triple (8Fr × 20 cm Tri-lumen catheter Kit-Envans Extra) and a quad-lumen CVC (8.5Fr × 20 cm Quad-lumen catheter kit-Benefis Medical Devices) commonly used in our Intensive Care Unit for fluids and medications infusions. We used Prismaflex with the HF-20 set (Baxter, IL, USA) to perform the SCUF treatment.
    Results: Our in vitro data confirm the technical feasibility of the use of standard CVC for fluid infusion to perform a SCUF treatment with a theoretical weight loss of up to 200 ml/h by a blood flow ranging from 30 to 45 ml/min.
    Conclusions: The use of standard infusion CVC could be utilized in the intensive care unit to perform SCUF not exposing patients to the risks and complications related to the placement and permanence of CVC for hemodialysis.

    Abstract In recent years, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has received increasing attention as a promising tool aimed at both treating microbial infections and sanitizing environments. Since biofilm formation on biological and inert surfaces makes difficult the eradication of bacterial communities, further studies are needed to investigate such tricky issue. In this work, a panel of 13 diaryl-porphyrins (neutral, mono- and di-cationic) was taken in consideration to photoinactivate

    Abstract The dialyzer is the core element of extracorporeal blood purification therapies where several processes take place depending on specific membrane characteristics. To date, the filter choice requires preliminary knowledge of all its characteristics as they cannot be easily deduced from the commercial trade name, hence the difficulty in identifying easily equivalent dialyzers and clearly comparing single-filter characteristics. The choice of improper dialyzers for a specific treatment can determine a less-effective blood purification and potentially harmful treatments. We aimed to propose a univocal and standardized alphanumeric string to summarize essential filter properties in the Dialyzer Identification Code (DIC). DIC clearly describes device characteristics and allows to compare different dialyzer performances without resorting to the technical data sheets. Therefore, the presence of the DIC on every device facilitates information retrieval on the dialyzer, its intended use, and can facilitate matching the dialysis modality to correct dialyzers achieving a personalized renal replacement therapy. The standard filter characteristics codification by the DIC may further optimize correct extracorporeal blood purification prescriptions and the use of equivalent filters from different providers avoiding treatment inefficiency, clinical complications, and improving patient safety.

    Abstract Critical patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy are in most cases eligible only for continuous modalities where the electrolyte balance control is a critical issue. The standard solutions used for hemodiafiltration, containing potassium at 2 mmol/L and no phosphorus, determines during the extended renal replacement therapy hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia. Therefore, solutions containing potassium and phosphate in physiological concentrations were formulated to avoid electrolyte imbalances and reduce ion alterations in prolonged treatments, these solutions are not routinely used in the standard clinical practice. To avoid electrolyte imbalances, we have first introduced in our practice two different solutions and then we have retrospectively analyzed the electrolyte balance upon these two solutions in order to identity the impact of these solutions on potassium and phosphate according to our clinical practice. We retrospectively analyzed 96 patients treated with Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) in the intensive care units (ICU) at Padua's University Hospital to evaluate the role on electrolyte balance of Phoxilium

    Abstract Critical clinical forms of COVID-19 infection often include Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in up to 20% of patients, further worsening the outcome of the disease. No specific medical therapies are available for the treatment of COVID-19, while supportive care remains the standard treatment with the control of systemic inflammation playing a pivotal role, avoiding the disease progression and improving organ function. Extracorporeal blood purification (EBP) has been proposed for cytokines removal in sepsis and could be beneficial in COVID-19, preventing the cytokines release syndrome (CRS) and providing Extra-corporeal organ support (ECOS) in critical patients. Different EBP procedures for COVID-19 patients have been proposed including hemoperfusion (HP) on sorbent, continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) with adsorbing capacity, or the use of high cut-off (HCO) membranes. Depending on the local experience, the multidisciplinary capabilities, the hardware, and the available devices, EBP can be combined sequentially or in parallel. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how to perform EBPs, providing practical support to extracorporeal therapies in COVID-19 patients with AKI.
