Changes in physical activity and risk of all-cause mortality in patients on maintence hemodialysis: a retrospective cohort study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Thermometers that measure core (internal) body temperature are the gold standard for monitoring temperature. Despite that most modern hemodialysis machines are equipped with an internal blood monitor that measures core body temperature, current practice is to use peripheral thermometers. A better understandi...
