Results: Mean ACT value was 180±24 seconds. Femoral hemostasis was achieved with a double suture-based VCD deployment in 30 (67%) patients or a double VCD with cross-over balloon inflation in the remaining 15 (33%) patients. Bleeding after VCDs occurred in 15 (33%) pts. The kaolin-based dressing, activates the intrinsic blood coagulation pathway thus allowing for a short manual hemostasis perio...

The deflocculation effect of conventional additives to kaolin suspensions is evaluated from the results standard rheological measurements. Several widely used electrolytes (NaOH, Na2C03, Na2Si03, SHMP = sodium hexametaphosphate, and CMC = sodium salts of carboxymethylcellulose) have been tested. The optimal concentrations of these deffloculants, in respect to reaching the maximum reduction of i...

Goldfish were trained to press a lever. This response was followed by the delivery of a pellet of food. The fish were then allowed continuous access to the lever under controlled conditions, and their food intake was measured. Goldfish distribute their feeding responses fairly evenly over time, within the limits of the lighting cycle. Some fish eat mainly at night, some during the day, and othe...

1. The intoxication produced by the intravenous injection of inert substances such as kaolin is due to protein split products derived from the serum proteins. 2. The kaolin acts as an adsorbing medium for the serum antiferment, bringing about an alteration in the ferment-antiferment balance. 3. The intoxication is accompanied by an increase in serum protease, and of proteoses. 4. The serum lipa...

To confirm the method for preparing artificially spiked soil with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), we tested the homogeneity of PAHs in spiked soils, which were prepared by three different procedures, by using kaolin and ando soil. When the slurry of kaolin and acetone containing PAHs were evaporated by a rotary evaporator at 30 - 35 degrees C, the most homogeneous distribution of PAHs ...

To investigate the origin of differences in previously published pulmonary function studies of workers in kaolin plants in Georgia, spirometric and radiographic data collected in a cross sectional survey of two large plants were analysed. As compared with workers in plant 2, workers in plant 1 had a 2.7-fold greater prevalence of pneumoconiosis and a mean 0.361 decrement in adjusted forced vita...

canarium l. is used in folk medicine as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, heptoprotective, antioxidant, and anti diabetic properties. the present study investigeated the invivo anti-inflammatory activity of  essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of resin of canarium strictum roxb. in the current study, anti-inflammatory activity of essential oil of canarium strictum...

The inflammatory response consists of an innate system of cellular and humoral responses following injury (such as after heat or cold exposure, ischemia/ reperfusion, blunt trauma, etc.), in which the body attempts to restore the tissue to its preinjury state. In the acute inflammatory response, there is a complex orchestration of events involving leakage of water, salt, and proteins from the v...

Dispersion coating may represent an alternative technology to extrusion coating, currently dominating the market of coated paper-based packaging. Being processed as inks, dispersion coatings can be applied with conventional equipment, achieving lower dry coat grammages. In this work, two styrene-butadiene-based (Tg1 ? 0 °C; Tg2 15 °C) filled different amounts kaolin were developed and rod-coate...
