Sedimentation Rate of Stored Blood, using Sequestrene as the Anticoagulant

Dilithium sequestrene as an anticoagulant.

The variety of different anticoagulants used for blood samples has increased, but there is still need for a suitable anticoagulant for the routine estimation of sodium and potassium by flame photometry. So far the only satisfactory substance for this purpose has been the expensive calcium heparin (King and Wootton, 1956). Disodium sequestrene (Proescher, 1951 ; Hadley and Larson, 1953) and dipo...

The effect of sequestrene and heparin on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

The Westergren method for the determination of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate has been conclusively shown to be more reliable than other methods (Gilmour and Sykes, 1951 ; Goldberg, Glynn, and Bywaters, 1952; Lewi and Clarke, 1954; Alexander and Andrews, 1957; Eastham, Denson, and Evans, 1958). Blood for a variety of haematological and biochemical investigations is commonly collected into W...

The Effect of Heparin and Dicumarol Anticoagulant Therapy upon the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate.

Anticoagulant therapy has been employed in thromboembolic disease with increasing frequency during the past few years. There has been a striking lack of unanimity in the literature (1 to 15) as to the effect of heparin or dicumarol per se upon the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. In view of the fact that anticoagulants are frequently employed in disorders in which the sedimentation rate is of im...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
