INTRODUCTION Monitoring whole blood anticoagulation therapy with the activated coagulation time (kaolin ACT) and the heparin management test (HMT) were correlated in vivo with the plasma anti-activated factor X (anti-Xa) heparin concentration in patients who received variable doses of aprotinin and in vitro in the presence of increasing concentrations of aprotinin. METHODS In 38 elective card...

Use of cisplatin as a chemotherapeutic agent causes acute and delayed emesis. Kaolin, saccharin solution and normal feed consumption have been evaluated as an index of cisplatin-induced emesis in rats; however, the most preferable of these methods for evaluating the various phases of emesis remains unclear. In the current study, kaolin, saccharin solution and normal feed consumption following c...

The objective of the study is to observe the anti-motion sickness effect of volatile oil extract of Pinelia ternata in rats, compare the strength of anti-motion sickness action between the Pinelia ternata volatile oil extract and the dimenhydrinate, and analyze the constituents in volatile oil of Pinelia ternata. Rats with frequency is 0.05Hz, the peak speed of 240°/s rotated to stimulate, evok...

With new guidelines for the control of heparin infusion rates the proportion of kaolin cephalin clotting time ratios was significantly improved compared with ratios achieved without their use. Further improvement might result from careful preparation and delivery of the infusion.

Assessing acidic influence in conversion of hospital plastic waste into liquid fuel with kaolin base supported catalysts was carried out using samples collected from a tertiary University teaching Hospital Sokoto, which encompassed Drip bags (Linear low density polyethylene LLDPE), Hand gloves (Polyethylene terephthalate PET) and Urine (Polyureathane PU). Uncatalyzed pyrolysis first thermal cra...

This paper presents research on the surface characteristics, specific surface area (SSA), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and the electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of kaolin clays obtained from different naturally occurring pegmatite and granite deposits worldwide. Particular emphasis was placed on studying the influence of ancillary minerals on these properties, as well as the diversity in morphol...

In the present paper, attention is paid to synthesis and investigation swelling behavior of a superabsorbent hydrogel composite based on Pectin (Pec) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in the presence Kaolin powder. The physical mixture of Pec, Kaolin and PAN were hydrolyzed by NaOH solution to yield H-Pec-poly (sodium acrylate-co-acrylamide)/Kaolin superabsorbent hydrogel composite. A proposed mechan...
