Severe adverse events have been observed following the infusion of Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOCs) in patients subjected to elective orthopedic procedures, cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, and vascular surgical procedures. Along with all three of the hemoglobin based oxygen carriers, the patients received Ringer’s D,L-lactate as the resuscitation fluid, Ringer’s D,L lactate in the excip...

Introduction: In vascularized tissues, such as myocardium, oxygen is supplied by convection of blood through a capillary network and diffusion into the tissue space surrounding each capillary, with the total oxygen content of blood increased by the presence of a natural oxygen carrier, hemoglobin. Most of the current tissue culture systems are limited by diffusional supply of oxygen from the su...

This communication reports the reduction mechanism and kinetics of CoO-NiO/Al2O3 oxygen carrier using methane as the reduction gas. Kinetics experiments are performed in a novel fluidized bed CREC riser simulator under turbulent fluidized bed reaction conditions. A shrinking-core model is used for the kinetic modeling assuming spherical grains of the oxygen carrier particles. The XRD analysis s...

Oxygen precipitates are among the most detrimental oxygen‐related silicon bulk defects formed during solar cell manufacturing. These only high‐temperature processes, impeding an identification of prone materials incoming inspection. Moreover, prediction oxygen‐precipitate‐related charge carrier recombination currently requires advanced numerical simulation. This work presents easily implementab...

Polyhaemoglobins (PolyHb) and perfluorochemicals are in advanced phase III clinical trials and conjugated haemoglobins in phase II clinical trial. New recombinant human haemoglobin with no vasoactivity is being developed. A soluble macromolecule of PolyHb-catalase-superoxide dismutase is being studied as an oxygen carrier with antioxidant properties. New artificial red blood cells that are more...
