He also held over 50 patents from a bone biopsy kit to a shunt for hydrocephalus. The lectureship is delivered during the North American Chapter (NAC) of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis Program at ADC.<\/p>\n <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-x-8 gap-y-3 text-gray-500\">\n <div class=\"flex border-b border-gray-100 py-1\">\n <span class=\"font-bold text-gray-700 w-16 flex-shrink-0\">2005<\/span>\n <span>Dimitrios Oreopoulos, MD (Canada)<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"flex border-b border-gray-100 py-1\">\n <span class=\"font-bold text-gray-700 w-16 flex-shrink-0\">2007<\/span>\n <span>Karl D.

In 2011, this was renamed as The Barbara Prowant Lifetime Achievement Award in Nephrology Nursing named in honor of Barbara Prowant, MSN, RN, who was a pioneer in PD Nursing and was one of the original organizers of the Annual Dialysis Conference. Barbara\u2019s contributions to the field of nephrology, especially to peritoneal dialysis, made her one of the most well-known and highly respected nephrology nurses in the world. In her nearly 30 years as a nephrology nurse, she had an enormous impact on patient care, education, and the advancement of knowledge through clinical research. Barbara\u2019s publications, presentations and editing efforts were a credit to her and to the Nephrology Division of the University of Missouri. The award acknowledges the contributions of a nephrology nurse whose work has contributed to the advancement of nephrology nursing practice.<\/p>\n <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-x-8

husband, Gabor Zellerman. Born in Budapest, he survived a Nazi concentration camp and eventually immigrated first to the US and then to Canada, where he collaborated with Dimitrios Oreopoulos in developing equipment for peritoneal dialysis. He also held over 50 patents from a bone biopsy kit to a shunt for hydrocephalus. The lectureship is delivered during the North American Chapter (NAC) of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis Program at ADC.<\/p>\n <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-x-8 gap-y-3 text-gray-500\">\n <div class=\"flex border-b border-gray-100 py-1\">\n <span class=\"font-bold text-gray-700 w-16 flex-shrink-0\">2005<\/span>\n <span>Dimitrios Oreopoulos, MD (Canada)<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"flex border-b border-gray-100 py-1\">\n <span class=\"font-bold text-gray-700 w-16 flex-shrink-0\">2007<\/span>\n <span>Karl D.
