total parenteral nutrition (tpn) has a vital role in controlling nutritional deficiencies especially in patients with critical conditions who are confined to bed in intensive care unit (icu). complete evaluation of the nutritional status of these patients is necessary to achieve their nutritional goal. the aim of this investigation was to study the complete blood count (cbc), coagulation parame...

Immobility plus preexisting chronic disease or acute trauma can activate the coagulation system, thus increasing the risk for thromboembolic events. The effects of long-term bed-rest immobility and microgravity on the coagulation system of healthy persons (e.g., during crewed Mars missions) have not yet been studied. The main objective of the second Berlin BedRest Study (BBR2-2) "Coagulation Pa...

in this study, different methods of separating of the microalgae from the culture medium as one of the most important and expensive steps in achieving commercial production of biodiesel from microalgae was investigated. electro coagulation-flotation (ecf) was preferred among these methods due to its process simplicity and capability to scale up. the effect of three parameters, i.e., initial ph,...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Protamine is routinely administered following cardiopulmonary bypass in order to neutralize the effects of heparin. An excess of protamine can contribute to coagulopathy, hence predisposing to bleeding with associated morbidity and mortality. Thromboelastography (TEG) is recognized as an invaluable bedside tool to detect coagulation parameters; however, the effects of p...

Neurosurgery requires the use of osmotic agents to reduce intracranial pressure which can adversely affect coagulation. Thromboelastography provides early indicator of derangement of coagulation. A prospective, non randomized pilot study was conducted to compare the effect of administration of either mannitol or hypertonic saline and when combined with hydroxy ethyl starch on coagulation and pl...

in this study, removal of methylene blue by electro-coagulation method using aluminum and iron electrodes was investigated. the influence of the operating parameters such as contact time, current density, anode type, inter-electrodes distance, initial and final ph and energy consumption rate was determined. dye removal was increased with increases in solution ph, current density and contact tim...

Introduction: The most important environmental problem of automotive industries is the produced wastewater due to its various processes. The flocculation and coagulation along with chemical sequestration are among important processes for removing contaminants from wastewaters. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of coagulation and flocculation process along with chemical sequ...

the purpose of this study is to investigate the performance and efficiency of moringa seeds from different sources on turbidity. a protein analysis test was done for each source; then two different methods of extraction were compared to examine the coagulation activity for the moringa's active ingredient. the results of sodium chloride (naci) extraction in comparison to distilled water ext...
