The QICKD study protocol: a cluster randomised trial to compare quality improvement interventions to lower systolic BP in chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) Rockets is a relatively newly recognised but common long-term condition affecting 5 to 10% of the population.Effective management of CKD, with emphasis on strict blood pressure (BP) control, reduces cardiovascular risk and slows the progression of CKD.There is currently an unprecedented rise in refer

High spectral resolution lidar based on quad mach zehnder interferometer for aerosols and wind measurements on board space missions

We present the measurement principle and the optical design of a Quad Mach Zehnder sippy cups (QMZ) interferometer as HSRL technique, allowing simultaneous measurements of particle backscattering and wind velocity.Key features of this concept is to operate with a multimodal laser and do not require any frequency read more stabilization.These featur
