CF Carrier testing in a high risk population: Anxiety, risk perceptions, and reproductive plans of carrier by “non-carrier” couples

Reproductive behavior in carrier couples for transfusion-dependent thalassemia major: evaluation of knowledge, attitude and practice

Background and Purpose: Despite extensive research on family planning and education, reproductive behavior of high-risk couples for thalassemia remains a major concern among medical professionals. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of carrier couples for transfusion-dependent thalassemia major (TDTM). Methods: This case-control study was conducted 327 carrier couples for...

Beta-Thalassemia Carrier Detection by NESTROFT

Analysing the risk of LNG carrier operations

This paper presents a generic, high-level risk assessment of the global operation of ocean-going liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers. The analysis collects and combines information from several sources such as an initial hazid, a thorough review of historic LNG accidents, review of previous studies, published damage statistics and expert judgement, and develops modular risk models for critical...

THE CARRIER FACILITATED TRANSPORT OF THE LITHIUM IONS BY A SERIES OF NON-CYCLIC SYNTHETIC IONOPHORES

The carrier facilitated transport of lithium picrate was studied using a series of non-cyclic polyethers containing different end groups and chain lengths through Bulk Liquid Membrane (BLM) and Supported Liquid Membrane (SLM) systems. The various membrane supports used are viz. PTFE, cellulose nitrate, and dialysis membrane and onion membrane. The amount of Li+ transported depends upon the stru...
