ARPN Journal of Science and Technology::Therapeutic Aphaeresis, Technical Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since the mid-1970s, a new process for plasma phrases became available which used membrane modules instead of centrifuge. Many patients suffering from severe diseases with a poor prognosis could be cured. The advantages of therapeutic aphaeresis with membrane modules are a complete separation of the corpuscular components from the plasma, an effective elimination of macromolecular substances and a less cell damage. The development of new membranes has allowed new techniques, and the adsorption technologies allow the most selective separation of plasma components. The technical aspects of the different methods, the interaction between extracorporeal surfaces and blood, and path physiological points are shown. Up to now the cascade filtration, lipid filtration, imunoadsorption, LDL-aphaeresis and the liver support system such as the Bio Logic-DTPP system, Molecular Adsorbent Recycling System and the Prometheus System have been of clinical relevance. The technical aspects and their clinical indication are discussed. In experienced hands, therapeutic has minimal side effects. New approaches are made in the last years, and some companies have developed machines which can be used as well as for intermitted dialysis and for therapeutic aphaeresis methods.

Using liquid membrane and, in particular, supported liquid membrane (SLM) is a novel method of separation in comparison to other methods such as adsorption, extraction and ion exchange. SLM is a combination of simultaneous extraction and disposal whose high efciency and capability is proven by many studies. So far, many researchers have utilized SLM in various scientifc...
متن کاملARPN Journal of Science and Technology::Fuzzy Soft Lattice Theory
Soft set theory was introduced by Molodtsov in 1999 as a general mathematical tool for dealing with problems that contain uncertainty. In this paper, we define concept of fuzzy soft lattice, fuzzy soft sublattice, complete fuzzy soft lattice, modular fuzzy soft lattice, distributive fuzzy soft lattice, fuzzy soft chain and study their basic properties.

متن کاملAn Overview of Challenges in Producing and Consuming Transgenic Products
The production and consumption of genetically modified (GM) products are highly controversial due to their environmental, health, and ethical impacts. Most of these disputes are caused by distrust of regulatory authorities, scientists, and technocratic decisions. Among all these concerns, health issues, allergenicity and antibiotic resistance are more important. Many of today's social developme...
