Accurate and fast prediction of the hemodynamics artificial pump-lung is critical in design process. In this study, a comprehensive computational framework, including sliding mesh method, coupled free flow porous media model, hemolysis [Formula: see text] shear stress transport turbulence solution algorithms, introduced to accurately predict velocity field, pressure heads, hemolysis. The framew...

BACKGROUND To investigate the incidence and time course of hemolysis and its clinical effects following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) using distilled water as the irrigant. METHODS Between March 1996 and April 1997, 39 patients who underwent TURP due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were randomly included in this study. The levels of plasma hemoglobin, haptoglobin and se...

scorpion bite is a common health problem in many parts of the world, including the iran’s tropics. there are thousands of cases and a number of deaths due to scorpion bite every year in the country. the present study aims to provide further data regarding the details, complications and outcomes of scorpion bite cases referring to razi hospital, ahwaz, from march 2011 to april 2012. a total of 2...

Hemagglutination and hemolytic titrations of antisera using red cells to which antigens have been conjugated with bis(diazo)benzidine have been used as a measure of antibody activities (1--4) in this laboratory. Hemagglutination and immune hemolysis fitrations have comparable sensitivities. Immune hemolysis, however, can be modified to give a high degree of precision (5). Both methods have been...

Objectives Blood collections from peripheral intravenous catheters offer several benefits to patients, including reduced needle punctures and patient discomfort, but they risk reducing the quality of blood specimens analyzed by the laboratory. In an effort to balance analytical quality of test results with patient-centered care initiatives, a needle-less blood collection device called PIVO™ was...

Filipin at low concentrations rapidly hemolyzes bovine erythrocytes. Of the compounds tested, which were known a constituents of cell membranes, only cholesterol and phosphatidyl-choline prevented hemolysis. A specific complex was formed only with cholesterol. Filipin treatment caused a release of cholesterol from erythrocytes. Since all cell sterol is located in the cell membrane, the hemolyti...

Xenobiotic exposure may induce cell membrane injury which would affect cellular structures and function. This study examined the influence of new aminophosphonates, synthesized for agrochemical application, on biological and model membranes properties. The aminophosphonates differed in the substituents on their carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus atoms. Measurements were made of the stability of pl...
