A high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) plasma gun is provided, which gun inlets (74) a selected propellant gas into a column (16) formed between a center electrode (12) and a coaxial outer electrode (14), utilizes a solid state high repetition rate pulse driver (130) to provide a ...
Currently, both albumin and HMW-dextran are used as plasma replacement fluids43,44. Dextrin was chosen for its similarities to the plasma replacement fluid hydroxyethyl starch (HES), a starch derivative that is chemically modified to have reduced susceptibility to non-specific hydrolysis by amylase ...
A CBC, is often the first test that is ordered to confirm or rule out many illnesses. This test measures the level of hemoglobin in RBCs. It measures hematocrit, which is a ratio of the volume of RBCs compared to the total blood volume. The test also measures the levels of RBCs, WBCs...
There is also quite a bit of lymph tissue in the digestive system. B cells and T cells have different functions. B cells, when stimulated, mature into plasma cells -- these are the cells that produce antibodies. A specific B cell is tuned to a specific germ, and when the germ is ...
πplasma[plasma oncotic pressure] is 25 mm Hg higher than πtissue [retinal tissue oncotic pressure] because of protein osmotic pressure. pplasma [fluid pressure in retinal capillaries] can be estimated by assuming that arteriolar resistance reduces carotid artery pressure from 65 mm Hg by about ...
Component of the cell–cell junction in multicellular organisms in which cadherin receptors bridge neighbouring plasma membranes via their homophilic interactions. Adherens junction provides strong mechanical attachment between neighbouring cells through the linkage of their cytoplasmic face to the actin cytoskel...
Eric Domingo, who serves as undersecretary for the Department of Health of the Philippines, sums up the Dengvaxia tale best of all: “It just turned into this gigantic monster,” he tellsFortune. But what’s truly frightening is how quickly this monster formed, and how easily. What happened...
he worked on data collected by NASA’s Voyager probes as they flew past the outer planets of the solar system. Kurth studied results from the probes’ plasma instruments (which measured the solar wind crashing into planetary atmospheres and magnetic fields) and started translating the complex, abs...
1. The measured open circuit potential of the materials is around −0.75 ± 0.05 VAg/AgCl for all aging states. An Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) combined with a scanning-flow cell was used for time-resolved analysis of the concentration of dissolved atomic ...
One of the main Ca2+ influx routes in cells is represented by store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). SOCE is mediated by a functional interaction between STIM1 Ca2+ sensor of endoplasmic reticulum and ORAI1, a Ca2+-release activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel of the plasma membrane [38] and is ...
