Abstract Background and Aims Introduction: Catheter related blood stream infection (CRBSI) is a dreaded complication in patients with tunneled dialysis catheter often results loss. Antibiotic lock, preventive strategy, not followed for fear of emergence resistant strains. We have reported usefulness 70% alcohol lock cases established CRBSI. The present study was aimed to find CRBSI prophylaxis....

Background: Dendritic cells (DC) induce tumor or pathogen-specific T cell responses in humans. Several laboratories have developed culture systems, including maturation factors for human DC from peripheral blood monocytes. We comprehensively compared standard maturation stimulus, an autologous monocyte-conditioned medium (MCM), with heparin for their ability to promote uniformly mature DC that ...

Background: Hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal illness use a tunnelled central vein catheter for vascular access. Heparin preservative, in contrast, exhibits inferior antibacterial effects against biofilm and plank tonic bacteria. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of taurolidine citrate solution versus heparin lock when infused into lumens hemodialysis illness. Study design: Randomized...

nitroglycerin has been reported to reduce activated partial thromboplastin time (aptt) values in patients treated with concurrent heparin and nitroglycerin. however, studies have yielded conflicting results. to determine whether intravenous nitroglycerin alters the anticoagulant effect of heparin, we prospectively evaluated twenty patients admitted for coronary angioplasty by measuring their ap...

Abstract Background and Aims Inflammation is a near-universal condition in haemodialysis (HD) patients, which contributes to increased complications, morbidity mortality. The inflammatory profile enhanced subjects who need central venous catheter (CVC) as vascular access comparison with patients native arteriovenous fistula (AVF), the optimal for HD. aim of present study was analyse HD accordin...

heparin is frequently used in different clinical settings to reduce the coagulating ability of the blood. because of probable adverse effects owing to heparin therapy and regarding variability of patients’ responses to heparin, which make it very unreliable, it seems prudent to monitor meticulously its effects on the human body. there are a lot of laboratory tests to watch its effects on the bo...
