We have investigated the effects of haemodilution with either saline or hydroxyethyl starch (200/0.5) (HES) on blood coagulation in healthy volunteers in vivo. Standard haematological tests (packed cell volume (PCV), platelets, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), fibrinogen, antithrombin III, bleeding time and platelet aggregation), and thrombelastography (TEG) ...

BACKGROUND Tissue hypoperfusion and inflammation in sepsis can lead to organ failure including kidney and liver. In sepsis, mortality of acute kidney injury increases by more than 50%. Which type of volume replacement should be used is still an ongoing debate. We investigated the effect of different volume strategies on inflammatory mediators in kidney and liver in an early sepsis model. MATE...

Clinical and biological features of patients with the idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) are heterogeneous. Recent evidence suggests at least two distinct underlying hematological disorders involving myeloid and lymphoid cells, respectively. We therefore suggest that the term idiopathic should be abandoned in the classification of HES. This review defines the "myeloproliferative" and "...

Flexibility and multifunctionality are now becoming inevitable worldwide tendencies for electronic devices to meet modern life's convenience, efficiency, quality demand. To that end, developing flexible wearable energy storage is a must. Recently, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) capacitors (ZICs) stand out as two of the most potent candidates electronics due their excellent electrochemical pe...

The combined heat and power (CHP) plant is one of the emerging technologies gas-fired units, which plays an important role in reducing environmental pollutants delivering high energy efficiency. Moreover, hydrogen storage (HES) system with extra from wind turbine via to technology allows injection stored into grid by reverse services, offsetting this way uncertainty power. Consequently, simulta...

Rapidly developing countries contain both the bulk of intact natural areas and biodiversity, and the greatest untapped natural resource stocks, placing them at the forefront of "green" economic development opportunities. However, most lack scientific tools to create development plans that account for biodiversity and ecosystem services, diminishing the real potential to be sustainable. Existing...

UNLABELLED Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a disease characterized by persistent hypereosinophilia (>1.5×109/L) for more than 6 months in the absence of other causes of reactive eosinophilia. Patients with HES presenting with multiorgan thromboses are rare. Herein we report a 57-year-old man with HES who presented with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, portal throm...

Higher education systems (HES) have become increasingly absorbed in applying big data analytics due to competition as well economic pressures. Many studies been conducted that applied HES; however, a systematic review (SR) of the research is scarce. In this paper, authors mapping study address deficiency. The qualitative and quantitative analysis resulted highlighting progression over last deca...

hypereosinophilic syndromes were a group of divergent disorders united by overproduction of eosinophils and the several organ damages ascribed to this persistent eosinophilia. among all the presenting symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms were the least common. we were reporting a 21 year old man with a 2 year history of refractory ascites, hepatomegaly, portal and hepatic veins thrombosis and cu...

BACKGROUND Several studies have described hypercoagulability in neurosurgery with craniotomy for brain tumor resection. In this study, hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.42 was used for hemodynamic stabilization and initial blood loss replacement. HES can induce coagulopathy with thromboelastographic signs of decreased clot strength. The aim of this study was to prospectively describe perioperativ...
