This approach was also first described in 1978 by Henderson [16 ]. In this pilot investigation, the reinfu-sion fluid was prepared off-line by dialysis fluid filtration through hollow fibre ultrafilters made of XP-50 membrane and collected in sterile glass carboys before

Injection of a mixture of HAuCl(4) and cellulose dissolved in the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [Bmim]Cl into aqueous NaBH4 leads to colloidal gold nanoparticle/cellulose hybrid precipitates. This process is a model example for a very simple and generic approach towards (noble) metal/cellulose hybrids, which could find applications in sensing, sterile filtration, or as ...

Even though the unit was in use for approximately 8 years with no apparent difficulties, awareness of the benefits of blood filtration were becoming obvious. Many groups across the country were beginning, along with the Cleveland Clinic, to investigate the benefits of blood filtration in all phases of patient care including open heart surgery. This investigation was prompted by the high inciden...
