Dialysis is where a machine is used to replace a kidney after kidney failure.
The word dialysis comes from the Greek word dialusis, dia meaning through, and lusis meaning loosening.
Dialysis can be used for people who have become sick and have lost the use of their kidneys for a short time, or for people who no longer have working kidneys.
The purpose of the kidney is to keep a balance of water and minerals in the body.
These minerals include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and sulfate.
The kidneys also take out hydrogen ions from the blood.
Dialysis is able to remove these wastes from the body and help keep the minerals in balance.
However the kidneys are also part of the endocrine system and make erythropoietin and calcitriol.
Dialysis machines are not able to replace this part of the kidney's function.
How dialysis works
Dialysis machines work by using diffusion and ultrafiltration.
A very fine material, called a membrane, allows blood and fluid to flow through it.
In the machine, the blood flows in one direction, and on the other side of the membrane, a special fluid, dialysate flows in the opposite direction, this process is known as osmosis.
Dialysate is a fluid that has different chemicals in it, such as potassium and calcium.
A doctor would decide what mixture of chemicals would be needed for each patient.
The dialysate has bicarbonate in it to lower the higher acid levels that these patients often have.
The blood and dialysate mix together.
The waste products are removed from the blood and caught up in the fine membrane.
Dialyser
A dialyser is part of a dialysis machine.
The dialyser filters blood like a kidney.
It is made of a clear hollow cylinder with two inlets and two outlets.
One inlet and outlet is at the upper side and downside which are for blood entrance and exit before and after purification.
The other inlet and outlet are beside through which a supporter liquid goes into the dialyser.
A dialyser has very thin fibres of cellulose.
The fibres work as a semi-permeable membrane (SPM).
There are about 10,000 of them.
Impurities such as urea keratin leave through the SPM.
Blood cells cannot go through because the blood cells are bigger than the impurities.
The whole process of purification is supported by a liquid called dialysate.
Dialysate is sent into the dialyser by the pump in the dialysis machine.
The pure liquid goes in and the impure dialysate comes out.
Dialysers are also called artificial kidneys.
The kinkajou is a mammal of the family Procyonidae and it is related to the raccoon, coati, olingo, raingtail and cacomistle.
It lives in the rainforests of South America and Central America, and spends most of its time on trees.
It can eat both meat and plants and has a gripping tail that can be used like an arm.
It is an endangered species because it is being hunted for its fur, meat and to be illegally sold as pets.
Although kinkajous may look like monkeys, lemurs, koalas, opossums, bears or ferrets, they are not related to those animals.
An adult kinkajou's weight is between 1-3 kg (3-7 lb).
Its body can grow up to 43-56 cm long (17-22 in) and its tail usually measures between 16-22 cm (41- 56 in).
The kinkajou has woolly fur consisting of an outer golden (brownish-gray) coat and another gray coat underneath.
The Barber of Seville (in Italian: Il barbiere di Siviglia) is a comic opera (opera buffa) in two acts by the composer Gioachino Rossini.
The libretto (words) are based on a comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais called The Barber of Seville.
It is Rossini’s most famous opera, containing some very well known tunes.
The first performance took place on 20 February, 1816 inmjm Rome
Rossini’s opera was not the first one to be based on Beaumarchais' play.
The composer Giovanni Paisiello had written one with the same title, and another was composed in 1796 by Nicolas Isouard.
Paisiello’s opera was popular for a time, but soon Rossini’s opera became famous and Paisiello’s opera was forgotten.
Mozart's opera Le nozze di Figaro, composed in 1786 is also based on the same play, but it deals with the second part of the play (the play was in three parts).
Rossini is well known for being able to compose very quickly.
He composed all the music for The Barber of Seville in less than three weeks.
He borrowed the overture from something he had written earlier.
When the opera was first performed on 20 February 1816 it was a big failure.
The audience hissed and jeered the whole time, and there were several little accidents on the stage.
At one point a cat walked onto the stage.
The square in front of Dr. Bartolo's house
The story takes place in the town of Seville in Spain.
It is supposed to be the 17th century.
In a town square outside Dr. Bartolo's house a band of musicians are serenading outside the window of Rosina.
Among them is Lindoro, who is pretending to be a poor student, but he is really Count Almaviva in disguise.
He hopes that Rosina will love him.
He pays the musicians who then leave.
Figaro comes in.
He used to be Almaviva’s servant.
The aria that he sings is very famous.
It is called Largo al factotum.
Almaviva asks him to help him meet Rosina, offering him money if he can do it.
Figaro says he should disguise himself as a soldier and pretend to be drunk and to try and get into the house.
Inside Dr Bartolo’s house Rosina sings a song Una voce poco fa (A voice just now).
Rosina writes to the Count, calling him Lindoro, because she thinks that is his name.
As she is leaving the room, Bartolo and Basilio enter.
Bartolo is suspicious of the Count, and Basilio says that they should start to tell bad stories about him to get him out of the way.
When they are gone, Rosina and Figaro enter.
Figaro asks Rosina to write a short note to Lindoro.
She has already done this.
She is surprised by Bartolo, but she manages to fool him.
Berta, Dr Bartolo’s servant, tries to leave the house.
She is met by the Count disguised as an drunken soldier.
Bartolo cannot get rid of the Count, who manages to have a quick word with Rosina.
He whispers to her that he is called Lindoro and gives her a letter.
Bartolo is watching and is suspicious.
He wants to know what the letter is about, but Rosina fools him by giving him a list of things to be washed.
Bartolo and the Count start arguing.
Basilio, Figaro and Berta appear and the noise is heard by the Officer of the Watch and his men.
Bartolo thinks that the Count has been arrested, but Almaviva tells the officer his real name and he is immediately released.
Bartolo and Basilio cannot understand why this happened.
Rosina laughs at them.
Dr. Bartolo's house
Almaviva comes to the doctor’s house again.
This time he is disguised as a music teacher.
He is pretending that Basilio is ill and that he has come instead.
At first Bartolo is suspicious but he soon lets him in when he shows him Rosina’s letter.
He gives Rosina a singing lesson.
Bartolo thinks that Lindoro is one of the Count’s servants and that he is trying to get girls for the Count.
Bartolo does not want to leave him alone with Rosina, so he gets Figaro (who is a barber) to shave him.
When Basilio suddenly appears, Almaviva bribes him with some money and he goes away saying he is sick.
Bartolo realizes in the end that it is a trick, and gets everyone out of the room.
He goes to a notary to get a marriage contract made between himself and Rosina.
He shows Rosina the letter she wrote to "Lindoro", and makes her think that Lindoro is a servant and cunning friend of Almaviva.
The stage is empty while the music creates a thunder storm.
The Count and Figaro climb up a ladder to the balcony and enter the room through a window.
Rosina shows Almaviva the letter and says she is very sad.
Almaviva tells her who he really is.
Rosina now loves him.
Figaro tells them they should leave.
Basilio and the notary come to the front door and try to leave by the ladder, but it has gone.
Basilio can either take a bribe a be a witness to the marriage or he can be shot dead.
He decides, together with Figaro, to witness the signing of the marriage contract between the Count and Rosina.
Bartolo rushes in, but is too late.
Bartolo (who was the one who had taken away the ladder) is made happy when he is told he can keep Rosina's dowry.

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), is a small nucleus in the hypothalamus.
It is in middle of the brain.
It is right on top of the optic chiasma.
It is our "body clock", and controls our daily rhythms by hormones and nerve impulses.
With its various cell types, it puts out peptides such as vasopressin and vasoactive intestinal peptide) and neurotransmitters.
The SCN controls when we get sleepy, when we wake up, when we are active and when we get hungry.
The SCN gets information about light and dark from the retina in the eye so it can adjust itself to the true 24 hours.
To do this it uses only about 20,000 neurons.
The SCN also exchanges information with many other parts of the brain.
It uses many different types of cells and many different types of peptides (including vasopressin and vasoactive intestinal peptide) and neurotransmitters.

The London Underground 1938 Stock is a deep-level tube stock that runs on the London Underground from 1938 to present.
During their long lives they work on the Bakerloo, Northern, Piccadilly, East London and Central lines.
These trains do still run on the London Underground.
The trains were built by Metro-Cammell and Birmingham RC&W. Some trains still run on the Isle of Wight's Island Line as the class 483.
In March 2007, South West Trains purchased the rolling stock outright from HSBC Rail for £1.
They are the oldest trains used on timetabled services on the National Rail network.
The 1938 tube stock was built as part of the London Passenger Transport Board's New Works Programme, that took place between 1935–1940.
The trains are mainly meant to be used on the Northern and Bakerloo lines.
Seven more trains were also to be used on the Piccadilly line.
During the 1950s and 1960s the Northern Line only used 1938 and 1949 tube stock trains.
These trains were starting to show how old they are by the late 1960s.
The first trains were withdrawn from the Northern line in the early 1970s when they were replaced by the 1972 tube stock trains.
Some units are still in service from preservation.

The Swell Season are Glen Hansard, from the Irish band, "The Frames", and Marketa Irglova, a classically trained Czech pianist and singer.
They won the Academy Award for Best Song in 2008.
The pop/rock duo made their first recording, The Swell Season, in 2006.
This was just after the release of the Frames' sixth CD, The Cost.
Hansard and Irglová also appeared as working-class immigrants in the popular Irish movie, Once, which was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007.
The following year, they won an Oscar, the Academy Award for Best Song for the movie's hit single, "Falling Slowly,".
Irglová became the first Czech woman to win an Oscar, and at age 19, she is the youngest person to win an Oscar in a musical category.
The Swell Season became famous as a result.
The soundtrack recording, Once: Music from the Motion Picture went gold in February 2008.
They went on tour and performed to sold-out crowds in many countries.
During the tour, Hansard and Irglová began dating.
Hansard said, "I had been falling in love with her for a long time, but I kept telling myself she's just a kid".
Hansard and Irglová performed the song live on the Oscar broadcast at Los Angeles' Kodak Theater on February 24, 2008.
When they went on stage to receive their awards, her acceptance speech was stopped by the orchestra's music cue to leave the stage.
Host Jon Stewart asked her back to deliver her speech following the commercial break.
Ceremony director Gil Cates said the early cue was an accident.
“Hi everyone.
I just want to thank you so much.
This is such a big deal, not only for us, but for all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling, and this, the fact that we’re standing here tonight, the fact that we’re able to hold this, it’s just the proof that no matter how far out your dreams are, it’s possible.
And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream and don’t give up.
And this song was written from a perspective of hope, and hope at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are.
And so thank you so much, who helped us along way.
Thank you.”

The Joy of Giving Week (JGW), planned for Sept 27 - Oct 3, 2009 as a national movement, aims at engaging at least one crore Indians in different "acts of giving" - money, time, resources and skills- spanning the corporate, NGO and government sectors, schools, colleges and the general public.
The idea is to create a "festival of philanthropy" that can, over the years, become a part of the Indian ethos, with the Week being celebrated every year covering Gandhi Jayanti.
The Week is designed as a "public platform" and is being co-ordinated by GiveIndia, a non for profit organization whose mission is to promote Giving.
GiveIndia has earlier initiated public giving activities like the Mumbai and Delhi marathons and runs the largest Payroll Giving programme in the country across 40 companies.
The Joy of Giving Week was launched in Mumbai on June 3 in front of the media and was covered by 22 news channels and over 40 publications and a press meet was scheduled in Chennai on June 30.
And soon, the campaign would launched before media in Hyderabad and various other cities.
Several corporates, celebrities and organisations have already finalized their efforts towards awareness, volunteering and fundraising events that they will organize during the Joy of Giving Week.
