Controlled-release urea (CRU) and normal have been shown to improve yield nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice. However, the effects of combined fertilizers (CRU urea, at different N ratios) on rice yield, temperature solar radiation utilization (TSRUE) NUEs remain unclear. In this study, CRU with release periods 60 days 100 were mixed ratios 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, 4:6 3:7 applied during rice-growing ...

Schochl and co-authors have described a 5-year retrospective study that outlines a novel, important and controversial transfusion concept in seriously injured trauma patients. Traditionally, clinicians have been taught to use a serial approach, resuscitating hypovolemic trauma patients with a form of crystalloid or colloid, followed by red blood cells (RBCs), then fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and...

Masken (chirurgischer Mund-Nasen-Schutz) werden seit 120 Jahren im Operationssaal (OP) eingesetzt und haben sich bewährt. Vor 20 bis 30 die Krankenhäuser angefangen, FFP(filtering face piece)-Masken zu verwenden, gewerblichen Bereich schon länger Standard waren. Sie wurden zunehmend zum Personalschutz bei bestimmten Infektionskrankheiten eingesetzt, Beispiel der Versorgung von Grippe- oder Tube...

Andes virus (ANDV) is the predominant cause of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in South America and the only hantavirus known to be transmitted person-to-person. There are no vaccines, prophylactics, or therapeutics to prevent or treat this highly pathogenic disease (case-fatality 35-40%). Infection of Syrian hamsters with ANDV results in a disease that closely mimics human HPS in incubatio...

BackgroundHeparin resistance is a common complication of surgical patients requiring anticoagulation, such as those undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Treatments to address heparin include supplementation antithrombin (AT) or fresh frozen plasma (FFP). This retrospective database analysis compared key outcomes in suspected heparin-resistant CPB treated with AT FFP.MethodsDe-identified Uni...

Recently, lower thrombin generation has been associated with excess bleeding post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Therefore, treatment to correct thrombin generation is a potentially important aspect of management of bleeding in this group of patients. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of fresh frozen plasma (FFP), recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa), prothrombin comp...

Frequent flier plans (FFPs) -operated by almost all of the world’s major airlines -have become the most famous, and probably the most valuable, customer loyalty programs in the world. In addition, plans created on the FFP model are now offered by sellers in a number of other industries such as hotels, car rental agencies and credit cards. In this paper we present a theory of FFPs that models th...
