STUDIES ON REANIMATION WITH PLASMA EXPANDERS

Adverse reactions to plasma volume expanders.

Plasma volume expanders are effective in the restoration of blood volume. All the available plasma volume expanders may rarely induce anaphylactoid reactions, although such reactions are extremely uncommon in shocked patients. The reactions are caused by different mechanisms depending on the solution, and there is little evidence that IgE antibodies are involved. In addition to these reactions,...

Expanders with Superquadratic Growth

We prove several expanders with exponent strictly greater than 2. For any finite set A ⊂ R, we prove the following six-variable expander results: |(A−A)(A−A)(A−A)| |A| 2+ 1 8 log 17 16 |A| , ∣∣∣∣A+A A+A + AA ∣∣∣∣ |A| 2 17 log 16 17 |A| , ∣∣∣∣AA+AA A+A ∣∣∣∣ |A| 18 log |A| , ∣∣∣∣AA+A AA+A ∣∣∣∣ |A| 18 log |A| .

Facial reanimation procedures depicted on radiologic imaging.

Various facial reanimation procedures can be performed for treating patients with chronic facial nerve paralysis. The radiologic imaging features of static and dynamic techniques are reviewed in this article with clinical correlation, including brow lift, eyelid weights and springs, gracilis free flaps, fascia lata grafts, temporalis flaps, and Gore-Tex suspension slings. Although the anatomic ...

Kinetics of isotonic and hypertonic plasma volume expanders.

BACKGROUND Major differences in plasma volume expansion between infusion fluids are fairly well known, but there is a lack of methods that express their dynamic properties. Therefore, a closer description enabled by kinetic modeling is presented. METHODS Ten healthy male volunteers received, on different occasions, a constant-rate intravenous infusion over 30 min consisting of 25 ml/kg of 0.9...
