Efficacy and safety of plasma exchange for Kawasaki disease with coronary artery dilatation

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2017
Background The treatment of Kawasaki disease is controversial when intravenous immunoglobulin therapy fails, although it typically relies on combinations of prednisolone, infliximab, cyclosporine, and plasma exchange therapy. The goal of the treatment is

High resolution charge-exchange spectroscopic measurements of aluminum impurity ions in a high temperature plasma [PDF]

, 2012
Charge-exchange recombination spectroscopy, which is generally used to measure low-Z impurities in fusion devices, has been used for measuring Al+11 and Al+13 impurities in the Madison Symmetric Torus reversed field pinch.

The role of charge-exchange processes in probing hydrogen plasma with a heavy ion beam

Matter and Radiation at Extremes, 2023
Charge-changing processes of low-charged ions, used in hydrogen plasma probing by the heavy ion beam probe method, are considered. Along with the ionization of beam ions by plasma electrons and protons, the charge-exchange processes of ions on H atoms ...
