Optical methods are becoming commonplace in investigations of the physical and mechanical behavior of biological tissues. Digital image correlation (DIC) is a versatile optical method that shows tremendous promise for applications involving biological tissues and biomaterials. We present the fundamentals of DIC with an emphasis on the application to biological materials. An approach for surface...

We report here a 47-year-old male with the diagnosis of high-grade B-cell lymphoma and hemophagocytosis accompanying disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS) is a life-threatening disorder, and LAHS secondary to B-cell lymphoma is relatively rare compared to that secondary to T- or NK/T-cell lymphoma in Western countries. T- or NK/T-cell L...

Re arride describes dic general metbods and sorne of the resutts obrained lix dic Psychophysiology Laboratory of the tJniversliy of La Coruña. The paper covers our research on the Simon effect and accessory effect, although it is nor a review of dic literature. Ihe research strategy we followed is huiit around the ose of laterajized motor potentials recorded from scalp. These measures allow obs...

We read with interest the recent issue of Critical Care, particularly the article by Gando and colleagues [1] about the validation of the scoring systems for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Mortality in patients with DIC according to diagnostic criteria of the Japanese Association of Acute Medicine (JAAM; 31.8%) was similar to that in patients with International Society of Thrombo...

We looked into the statistical association of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) score calculated using the International society for thrombosis and haemostasis (ISTH) scoring system. The PT, APTT, PT + APTT, and PT/APTT ratios were evaluated against the DIC score by linear regression analysis in fifty inpatie...

Increasing concentrations of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the interior ocean are expected as a direct consequence of increasing concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere. This extra DIC is often referred to as anthropogenic carbon (Cant), and its inventory, or increase rate, in the interior ocean has previously been estimated by a multitude of observational approaches. Each of these method...

We present the defocused differential interference contrast (DIC) imaging of gold nanorods. We found that the scattered light and the defocus aberration play an important role in the formation of orientation-dependent DIC image patterns of a gold nanorod. Interestingly, the scattered light from a gold nanorod aligned closer to the polarization directions enables us to directly resolve its spati...

notable activity against mouse sarcoma 180, adenocarcinoma 755, and leukemia L12l0 (14). In fact, DIC compares quite favorably with existing clinically useful agents such as cyclo phosphamide and 6-mercaptopurine against the solid form of mouse Ehrlich carcinoma (5). For these reasons DIC is cur rently under clinical trial at several research centers. Concur rent pharmacologic investigations of...

BACKGROUND Dysfunctional natural anticoagulant systems enhance intravascular fibrin formation in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and plasma levels of natural anti coagulants can be used in the diagnosis and prognosis of DIC. Herein, the diagnostic value of 4 natural anticoagulants was assessed, and the prognostic value of antithrombin and protein C were validated in a large popula...
