چکیده
THE Bromsulphaleimm (BSP) test of Rosenthal ammd White (1) has undergone several modifications (2) imi the 40 years following its introduction. Like most drugs, BSP is removed from blood plasma at a rate which is proportional to its concentratiomi, that is, a first-order reactiomi (3). As would be expected for a first-order reaction, a graph of In (BSP) or log (BSP) vs. time results iii a straight line. This graph is used in the BSP clearance test (4-6). In this hospital the BSP test is usually performed by determining the per cent retemition of BSI’ 43 mm. after time ihmtravenous injection of a 5 mg./kg. body weight dose. The procedure is very much like that of Woottomi (7), although we use a nomogramt relating volume of BSP dye solution used to body weight. Because of the large size of many hospitals it is not always possible to collect a blood specimen exactly 43 mm. after the injectioim of the BSP dye solution. However, it is always possible to note the exact time at which time blood sample was drawn. The problem then resolves itself into the simple one of determining what fraction of BSP was retained 43 mm. after injectioim even though blood collection was made at some other knowmm time. Time solution to the problem follows from the equations governing the system. If y equals time concemmtration of BSP retained in blood plasma in the

miniBSP: A BSP Language and Transformation System
We deene a small BSP-based language, that is simpler and more exible than standard BSP. Its composition rules allow supersteps to be composed sequentially and in parallel, so it is a subset-synchronising language. We give a cost-neutral transformation of BSP to miniBSP, showing how it can be used to compile BSP for clustered architectures. miniBSP also show that BSP can be regarded as one end o...
متن کاملUniversit a Degli Studi Bijective Dimension-independent Boundary to Interior Mapping with Bsp Trees
In this paper we discuss two algorithms for performing both ways the conversion between the boundary and the interior of d-dimensional polyhedra. Both a d-polyhedron and its (d 1)-faces are represented as BSP trees. An algorithm for boundary to BSP conversion starting from a standard B-rep was given by Thibault and Naylor in [15]. In this paper we assume no structure, no ordering and even no or...

Conversion of Binary Space
Binary Space Partitioning Trees (BSP-Trees) have been proposed as an alternative way to represent polytopes based on the spatial subdivision paradigm. Algorithms that convert from Boundary Representation (BRep) to BSP-Trees have been proposed, but none is known to perform the opposite conversion. In this paper we present such an algorithm , that takes as input a BSP-Tree representation for a po...
متن کاملIndocyanine green-sulfobromophthalein pharmacokinetics for diagnosing primary biliary cirrhosis and assessing histological severity.
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic disease in which there is a crucial need for quantitative liver-function tests. We have developed a mixed sulfobromophthalein (BSP)-indocyanine green (ICG) test and have applied it to 15 healthy subjects and 50 patients with PBC to determine its relevance to the histological severity of the disease. The two dyes were administered intraven...
