Intentional Haemodilution: Bibliotheca Haematologica

Bibliotheca Medica: Physician for Tomorrow

In a short chapter on prognosis and therapy several useful signs indicative of hypochondria are presented: if the patient refers to his complaints rather interpretively; if he seems to present his complaint for discussion and for the sake of presentation only; and if the patient has visited a great many physicians with the same problems over many years with a net effect of an increase in his wo...

Haemodilution in rheumatoid disease.

It has been suggested (Robinson, 1943; Dixon, Ramcharan, and Ropes, 1955) that the plasma volume in rheumatoid disease is greater than normal and that this increase may produce anaemia by dilution of the red cell mass. Such a mechanism might account for the refractory anaemia which sometimes occurs and in which there is a proportionate reduction of red cells and haemoglobin in the peripheral bl...

Haemodilution induces a hypercoagulable state.

It has been suggested that haemodilution with saline may increase whole blood coagulation. This study was conducted in two parts. First, we investigated the effect of in vitro dilution of blood with saline on whole blood coagulation as measured by the thrombelastogram (TEG). Blood (4 ml) was diluted with 0.9% saline 1 ml and coagulation compared with that of an undiluted control specimen obtain...

Haemodilution and Total Body Perfusion.

Intentional Systems, Intentional Stance, and Explanation of Intentional Behavior

This paper is a limited overview of a preliminary research task carried out for the National Security Agency (NSA) having to do with developing a basic understanding of the notions and concepts of intent, intentionality, and intentional behavior. These notions clearly have significant implications for intelligence analysis and especially predictive intelligence; modern-day “asymmetric threats” ...
