Reserve albumin binding capacity, salicylate saturation index, and red cell binding of bili-rubin in neonatal jaundice. 105 blood samples from 72 infants, mostly with jaundice due to haemolytic disease, were analysed for reserve albumin binding capacity (HBABA method), salicylate saturation index (SI), and red cell binding of bilirubin. 2 infants with clinical symptoms of bilirubin encephalopat...

The influence of cardiac output on the correlation between central venous oxygen saturation and mixed venous oxygen saturation was assessed in 51 patients who had both a pulmonary artery catheter and separate central venous catheter in situ. Seventy-six paired samples were taken from the catheters and oxygen saturation measured immediately in a Ciba Corning 2500 Co-oximeter. Cardiac output was ...

to evaluate the hydrogeochemical characteristics of karst water resources of oshtorankooh, chemistry details of springs has been considered as the most important evacuator of karst resources. this research has been performed to study hydrogeochemical nature of karst springs and their origin with an emphasis on the type of formation.  accordingly, five samples of the water of permanent springs o...

According to core data, this paper studies variation of resistivity in different pore structures and wettability conditions. The results show that with the increase of pore structure index m, the resistivity will increase significantly when the saturation is constant. Similarly, with increasing saturation index n, the resistivity will also increase even with the same saturation. With fixed m an...

The prevalence of cholesterol gall stones in young women has increased since the introduction of oral contraceptives. The synthetic female sex hormones used in these preparations, increase the degree of cholesterol saturation in bile. To determine whether oestrogens, progestagens, or both, are responsible for the change in biliary cholesterol saturation index, a prospective randomised, controll...

In order to elucidate the relationship between bile acid pool size and cholesterol saturation index of fasting state gall bladder bile, we artificially depleted the bile acid pool in 12 healthy volunteers. Bile acid pool size decreased from 7.6 +/- 0.9 to 5.8 +/- 0.7 mmol (mean +/- SEM, p less than 0.01), and saturation index of fasting state gall bladder bile increased from 0.93 +/- 0.07 to 1....

The usefulness and applicability of water indices such as Langelier saturation index, Ryznar stability index and Practical scale index for predicting the corrosive/scale forming tendency of chemically treated open recirculating cooling water has been studied. The study is based on the obtained corrosion and scale data for the period from May 1998 to December 2007, carried out at Fast Breeder Te...
