Abstract Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is associated with increased waitlist mortality in liver transplantation (LT) candidates. Children with HPS are granted Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD)/Pediatric End‐Stage Liver Disease (PELD) exception points for waitlist prioritization in the United States based on criterion developed for adults.

Green textile dyeing process by using natural dyes: a review [PDF]
In the textile industry, up to 200,000 tons of dyes are lost to effluents every year during the dyeing and finishing operations, due to the inefficiency of the dyeing process. Today, the textile industry used average six hundred dyes and chemical for the

Anesthetic experience of methemoglobinemia detected during general anesthesia for gastrectomy of advanced gastric cancer -A case report- [PDF]
Methemoglobinemia is an uncommon but potentially fatal disorder. Most cases have no adverse clinical consequence and require no treatment, but methemoglobinemia is often overlooked as a cause of low oxygen saturation, and often mistaken for the more ...

Abstract.Purpose:Malfunction of retinal blood flow or oxygenation is believed to be involved in various diseases. Among them are retinal vessel occlusions, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Reliable, non‐invasive technology for retinal oxygen measurements has been scarce and most of the knowledge on retinal oxygenation comes from animal studies.

Determining the effect of implant surgery on blood oxygen saturation of the adjacent tooth
Background: Implant surgery requires local anesthesia and drilling. This surgery may affect the blood circulation of the adjacent teeth. In this study, we evaluated the blood oxygen saturation of the healthy adjacent tooth with a pulse oximeter, during ...
