Does trait mindfulness help shield decision-making from translating into health-risk behavior?
Findings suggest trait mindfulness possibly shields against decision-making processes that place adolescents at risk for smoking.
Based on our findings, the routine intraperitoneal administration of heparin in CAPD peritonitis is not necessary. In rare cases an imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis due to high PAI-1 levels exists (15 of 194 dialysate samples, 11 of the 15 samples showing peritonitis). These cases--which do require heparinization--can be identified by demonstrating low D-dimer levels in CAPD dialysate at times of peritonitis.
