Clinical evaluation of Terumo membrane type plasma separator (GDS-1).

Clinical evaluation of the Terumo Capiox FX05 hollow fiber oxygenator with integrated arterial line filter.

Perfusion techniques and equipment in pediatric open heart surgery have continued to focus on decreasing prime volumes and lowering surface areas of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. While this has improved drastically over the last 20 years, greater demand is being placed on the perfusionist to reduce the deleterious effects of bypass without compromising safety or efficiency. Specifically, ...

A clinical evaluation of the Terumo Capiox SX18R hollow fiber oxygenator.

The Terumo Capiox SX18R is a commercially available, low prime, reverse phase, hollow fiber membrane oxygenator. The oxygenator consists of a 1.8 m2 microporous polypropylene hollow fiber bundle, a 2200 cm2 tubular stainless steel heat exchanger, and an open hard shell venous reservoir with integral cardiotomy filter. The Terumo Capiox SX18R oxygenator was evaluated to determine its clinical ox...

Factors evaluation of Oxidant – Antioxidant Malondialdehyde, plasma total antioxidant and Vitamin C in type 1 diabetes patients

Background: One of the most important diseases which is prevalent and chronic is Diabete. The conditions of oxidative stress and missing equilibrium of antioxidants have an important and main role in emerging and development of this disease. Evaluating the factors of oxidant – antioxidant Malondialdehyde, plasma total antioxidant and Vitamin C in type 1 diabetes patients is the main purpose of ...

A high-efficiency superhydrophobic plasma separator.

To meet stringent limit-of-detection specifications for low abundance target molecules, a relatively large volume of plasma is needed for many blood-based clinical diagnostics. Conventional centrifugation methods for plasma separation are not suitable for on-site testing or bedside diagnostics. Here, we report a simple, yet high-efficiency, clamshell-style, superhydrophobic plasma separator tha...
