Resuscitation fluids in common use are crystalloids: normal saline and Ringer's lactate (Hartmann's), and colloids: gelatins, dextrans and hydroxyethyl starch (HES). Locally manufactured fluids in ...

Amniotic fluid is the liquid that surrounds and cushions your baby in the womb. It protects your baby and helps in its development. When your "water breaks," amniotic fluid leaks out and signals ...

Fluid dynamics is the study of the motion of liquids, gases and plasmas. Flow is dependent on the intrinsic properties of the matter itself, such as compressibility, viscosity and density. Example ...

Fluids containing nano- to micrometer scale “colloidal ... and numerous industrial chemical processes all incorporate colloids. Although these applications are mature, there is a significant number of ...

There is a lack of evidence-based guidelines for neonatal transfusion practices as seen by the diverse RBC transfusion practices among individuals and institutions. [3,5,27,28,29,30,31,32] The US ...

Skyrmions and fractional skyrmions are promising for spintronics applications but are challenging to create, observe, and manipulate, with a limited understanding of their impact on colloid dynamics.

Point of care ultrasound has been shown to accurately detect hydronephrosis, evaluate intravascular filling, diagnose congestion, and be useful to monitor fluid and diuretic therapy. Some causes of ...

Albumin is primarily used for plasma volume replacement or to correct hypoalbuminaemia, and it may alleviate oedema associated with hypoalbuminaemia by increasing colloid osmotic pressure ...

This paper reviews the methods, benefits and challenges associated with the adoption and translation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling within cardiovascular medicine. CFD, a specialist ...

Water retention is when fluid builds up in part of your body. It is also called fluid retention or edema. It can affect body tissues outside of blood vessels, leading to swelling or bloating. Water ...

The following shortcomings in management were identified and targeted in a sepsis intervention: administration of antibiotics and blood sampling for a venous gas at the time of intravenous cannulation ...
