Whole Blood

Whole blood filtration.

A whole blood oximeter.

During cardiac catheterization it is an advantage to have an immediate indication of the oxygen content of blood samples withdrawn from the heart and great vessels while the catheter is still in situ. This is especially important in the more complex congenital defects as the procedure can then be modified if necessary in the light of the blood oxygen estimations. The present paper describes a w...

Rheological properties of blood after whole body gamma-irradiation

Background: The study of rheological properties of blood has special interest since it is a circulating fluid exposed to shear rates during its life time. This work aims to investigate the influence of whole body gamma irradiation on the rheological properties of rat’s blood. The applied shear rate was from 12 to 375 s-1. Low shear viscosity (up to 100 s-1) depends mainly on the erythroc...

Stereospecific Determination of Mefloquine in Whole Blood by HPLC

Mefloquine, as a racemic mixture, is used for the treatment and prophylaxis of malaria. Stereoselective pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic differences has been observed for mefloquine. In this study a modified stereoselective HPLC method is presented for determination of mefloquine (MFQ) enantiomers in whole blood. The assay involved liquid-liquid extraction of MFQ from biological fluids with ...

Blood Clotting in Minimally Altered Whole Blood

The sequences of events regulating thrombin generation during tissue factor-initiated clotting in whole blood at 37°C in which the contact pathway was suppressed with corn trypsin inhibitor are studied using quantitative Western blotting of factor V, prothrombin, platelet factor 4, antithrombin Ill, and fibrinogen. In addition, fibrinopeptide A (FPA), thrombin-antithrombin 111 (TAT) complex for...
