A top-down scalable method to produce flexible water and blood repellent tubes is introduced. The method is based on replication of overhanging nanostructures from an aluminum tube template to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) via atomic layer deposition (ALD) assisted sacrificial etching. The nanostructured ...
Plasma, which comprises 55% of blood fluid, is mostly water (90% by volume), and contains dissolved proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide (plasma being the main medium for excretory product transportation), platelets and blood cells themselves. The blood cells present in ...

Likewise, sodium chloride is used to replace sodium, chloride, and water in a dehydrated patient with hypoadrenocorticism until adrenal hormones can be replaced. The use of both blood transfusions and fluid therapy must be carefully assessed before inclusion in a patient's treatment plan, and ...
Food and Water Intake Rhythmic Behavior Mice were single-housed with ad libitum access to food and water in a standard 12:12 hour light-dark cycle. Food intake was measured as weight of food in grams to the nearest 0.1 g. Daily spillage of food has been shown to not exceed 0.1g and ...
