Measurement of the colloid osmotic pressure of the blood, or argument depending thereon, has been involved in much recent work on the origin of tissue fluid from the blood through capillary walls and in work on changes taking place in the blood due to various causes. It may be sufficient to mention Krogh (1929), Landis (1925-26, 1927, 1930, a, 1930, b), Loewen, Field, and Drinker (1931), Meyer ...

We have compared the haemodynamic effects of ephedrine alone with ephedrine and colloid for the treatment of hypotension produced by subarachnoid anaesthesia in 30 patients aged 60-90 yr with fractures of the neck of femur. Group one received ephedrine as an initial bolus dose of 0.2 mg kg-1 followed by an infusion of 0.5 mg kg-1 h-1. Group two received ephedrine and colloid (polygeline, Haemac...

introduction although thyroid nodules are usually benign, malignancy must always be ruled out. many efforts have been made to find. malignant nodules and reduce the number of unnecessary operations. in this study, our aim was to examine, after the more extensive use of fine needle aspiration (fna), whether the incidence of cancer finding has been increased. materials and methods we studied retr...

using of colloids and polymeric microparticles are gradually increasing. it is observed that thepositive effects of particles stems in both traditional applications such as column pickings,coatings and paints to more recent technologies in diagnostics, drug delivery and optical devicesare well documented. this review focuses on importance of colloids and covers theirapplications on three level:...
