Journal of Scientific Innovation in Medicine, 2021 Background: Extravasation is defined as the leakage of drugs from the vessel to the surrounding area with the potential to cause tissue necrosis. Such drugs (known as vesicants) that can extravasate include vasopressors, alkylating chemotherapeutic ...

Evaluating tear clearance rate with optical coherence tomography [PDF]
Contact Lens and Anterior Eye 2018, 41(1):54-59, 2019 Purpose: To assess the early-phase of tear clearance rate (TCR) with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to determine the association between TCR and other clinical measures of the tear film in a group of young subjects with different levels of tear film quality. Methods: TCR was classified as the percentage decrease of the inferior

Rôle of contrast media viscosity in altering vessel wall shear stress and relation to the risk of contrast extravasations [PDF]
, 2016 Iodinated contrast media (CM) are the most commonly used injectables in radiology today. A range of different media are commercially available, combining various physical and chemical characteristics (ionic state, osmolality, viscosity) and thus ...

Shape-shifting droplet networks [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 108301 (2016), 2015 We consider a three-dimensional network of aqueous droplets joined by single lipid bilayers to form a cohesive, tissue-like material. The droplets in these networks can be programmed to have distinct osmolarities so that osmotic gradients generate internal stresses via local fluid flows to cause the network to change shape. We discover, using molecular

Glycine Betaine Fluxes in Lactobacillus plantarum during Osmostasis and Hyper- and Hypo-osmotic Shock [PDF]
, 1996 Bacteria respond to changes in medium osmolarity by varying the concentrations of specific solutes in order to maintain constant turgor. The primary response of Lactobacillus plantarum to an osmotic upshock involves the accumulation of compatible solutes

Is elevated creatinine level a contraindication to endovascular aneurysm repair? [PDF]
, 2004 PurposeIt is widely believed that chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) greatly increases the risk associated with endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and is a relative contraindication to the procedure and to the use of intra-arterial ...
