The dilution curve of the specific activity of the erythrocytes in the arterial blood after intravenous injection of labeled erythrocytes with p32 has been treated mathematically. It is possible with the help of the dilution curve to calculate the minute volume of the heart and the thoracic pool (the residual blood of the heart + the blood content of the lungs). The values of the thoracic pool ...

• .All thennal methods for the study of the circulation depend upon the induction of a change in the heat content of! the blood stream. As a result of the change, a particular time-dependent spatial distribution of temperature is developed in the blood according to the manner in which the change is brought about and as a function of the prevailing pattern of blood flow. In a general sense, any ...

The use of dilution of urea or deuterium oxide ( D 2 0 ) to estimate body water in cattle, sheep and pigs is reviewed. After equilibration, which requires about 20 min after infusion of urea and 4 to 6 h after infusion of D 2 0 , urea and D , 0 space estimated from dilution in water of blood are each closely related to total body water. Calculation of body composition from total body water can ...

background: when fetal red cells enter the maternal circulation from placenta, an event would be happened that is described as feto-maternal hemorrhage (fmh). this life-threatening condition could be detected by using rbc antigens (surface antigens and intracellular antigens). therefore, the measurement of fetal rbc in an artificial model would be useful to calculate fmh and consequently the do...

according to the most famous decrees from shia and sunni islamic jurists the blood money for a woman is half of that for a man. the islamic sentencing act which endorses this is derived from shia school of jurisprudence (article 300). the advocates of such ruling rely on some islamic texts but some of the sunni and shia jurists argue for equality between man and woman. this group of jurists, re...

INTRODUCTION Coagulopathy can occur after hemorrhage, trauma and resuscitation, and has been associated with dilution of coagulation factors and hypothermia. Recombinant activated Factor VII (rFVIIa) has been used, often as a last resort, to improve hemostasis in trauma/hemorrhage patients with coagulopathy. The aim of this study was to further characterize the effects of rFVIIa on various coag...

BACKGROUND Blood dilution is a frequent complication of massive transfusion during trauma and surgery. This article investigates the quantitative effects of blood plasma dilution on thrombin generation in the context of intersubject variability. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A thoroughly validated computational model was used to simulate thrombin generation curves for 472 healthy subjects in the L...
