Three patients with cryoglobulinemia have been treated with automated plasma exchange procedures in which the replacement fluid was autologous plasma. obtained at a previous plasmapheresis and incubated in the cold to precipitate abnormal protein. All three responded with a reduction in cryoglobulin level and an improvement in clinical manifestations of cryoglobulinemia. The cost of treatment w...

INTRODUCTION Animals presenting with either acute or chronic disease can exhibit a wide variety of fluid imbalances. The cat that has been chronically vomiting may be dehydrated but have normal perfusion. The dog that has been hit by a car may require intravascular volume replacement to treat hemorrhagic shock but will have normal hydration. The puppy with parvoviral enteritis and severe diarrh...

The paper focuses on the problem of trajectory planning of flexible redundant robot manipulators (FRM) in joint space. Compared to irredundant flexible manipulators, FRMs present additional possibilities in trajectory planning due to their kinematics redundancy. A trajectory planning method to minimize vibration of FRMs is presented based on Genetic Algorithms (GAs). Kinematics redundancy is in...

This paper introduces FIR filter structures for interpolation and decimation by a factor of two. They are based on the frequency-response masking (FRM) approach in which the overall filter makes use of periodic model filters and nonperiodic masking filters. By using FRM techniques it is possible to obtain FIR filters requiring few multipliers even when the transition band is narrow. Further, in...

Fetal respiratory (FRM)and body movement (FBM) were studied on a transverse cross-section of the fetal upper-abdomen and plotted on a magnetic tape using an event marker. A total of 8 normal and 8 insulin-dependent pregnancies between 29 and 39 weeks was studied. In normal pregnancies, the % incidence of FRM and FBM was calculated from recordings which started 30 minutes before the beginning of...
