Indicator dilution technique is more widely used during cardiac catheterization for the diagnosis and rough estimate of the size of intracardiac shunts and valvular regurgitation (Korner and Shillingford, 1955; Fox and Wood, 1957; Swan and Wood, 1957; Woodward et al., 1957; Shillingford, 1958; Carter et al., 1959; Carleton et al., 1960; Jose et al., 1960). Evans blue dye (T-1824) has long been ...

Rats were infused with glucose at 30 mg/min, containing 18% enriched [U-13C]glucose and [1-14C]- and [3-3H]glucose. The mass isotopomer patterns of 13C-labeled blood glucose and liver glycogen were determined by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. The contribution of the direct pathway to glycogen was calculated from the three tracers, and the values by all three were nearly identical, about ...

BACKGROUND Third-generation hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions have been developed to minimize negative effects on hemostasis. In normal pregnancy, the coagulation activity increases, reaching a maximum around term. This study examined the effects of hemodilution with HES 130/0.4 (6%) on blood coagulation in parturients in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Forty parturients scheduled for cesarean s...
