Haemostasis with an Easily Prepared Stable Thrombin Solution

Haemostasis with an Easily Prepared Stable Thrombin Solution.

During physiological blood coagulation after injury the " clotting enzyme," thrombin, is always formed in excess. Such large amounts of liberated thrombin would ultimately cause extensive intravascular thrombosis, were it not for the presence of substances with antithrombic activity, which destroy the thrombin formed, partly before and partly after its action upon fibrinogen. While these substa...

Kanemite: an easily prepared and highly efficient catalyst for biodiesel production optimized by response surface methodology

Kanemite was readily prepared and used as solid base catalyst for transesterification of sunflower oil to fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N2 adsorption-desorption and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques. Central Composite Design (CCD) coupled with Response Surfac...

Efficient luminescence from easily prepared three-coordinate copper(I) arylamidophosphines.

A series of brightly luminescent, three-coordinate copper(I) arylamidophosphine complexes have been prepared from readily available precursors in high yield. Emission maxima span 102 nm in the visible spectrum from 461 (blue) to 563 nm (yellow) while photoluminescence quantum yields range from 0.11 to 0.24 in fluid solution at room temperature.

An easily prepared selective medium for the cultivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Public health and clinical laboratories will in future be called upon to play an increasingly important part in the diagnosis and control of gonorrhoea. This forecast is based on the fact that bacteriological examination of genital discharges from both sexes has been considerably improved during recent years, so that there is now good prospect of isolating the causal organism from the specimen ...
