Effects of metallic ions and diphosphonates on inhibition of pericardial bioprosthetic tissue calcification and associated alkaline phosphatase activity
(Elsevier, 1993-04)
This study focused on the association of extrinsic alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity with both early and advanced calcification of glutaraldehyde-pretreated bovine pericardial bioprosthetic (GPBP) tissue, and the inhibition ...
Representation of Somatosensory Evoked Potentials Using Discrete Wavelet Transform
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-04)
Objective. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) have been shown to be a useful tool in monitoring of the central nervous system (CNS) during anaesthesia. SEP analysis is usually performed by an experienced human operator. ...
Continuous monitoring of analyte concentrations
(Elsevier, 1992)
We have investigated the application of a modified, heterogeneous, competitive enzyme immunoassay for the continuous measurement of small analytes in a medium stream. The analytical system contains two antibodies that are ...
Convenient and cost-effective modification of neuromuscular blockade monitors
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Little, Brown and Company (Inc.) ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-01)
Cardiovascular implant calcification: a survey and update
(Elsevier, 1991-10)
Calcification of cardiovascular prosthetic implants is a common and important problem. This review provides an update based upon the Conference on Cardiovascular Implant Calcification held as part of the 13th World Congress ...
Synergistic inhibition of the calcification of glutaraldehyde pretreated bovine pericardium in a rat subdermal model by FeCl3 and ethanehydroxydiphosphonate: pre-incubation and polymeric controlled release studies
(Elsevier, 1993-07)
Calcification is a frequent cause of the clinical failure of bioprosthetic heart valves fabricated from glutaraldehyde-pretreated porcine aortic valves or glutaraldehyde-pretreated bovine pericardium (GPBP). We investigated ...
Accuracy and precision of a new, portable, handheld blood gas analyzer, the IRMA®
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-07)
Objective. The accuracy and precision of the new IRMA® (Immediate Response Mobile Analysis System, Diametrics, Inc.®, St. Paul, MN) handheld blood gas analyzer was compared with that of two benchtop blood gas analyzers. ...
Epicardial propranolol administration for ventricular arrhythmias in dogs: matrix formulation and characterization
(Elsevier, 1992)
The effect of propranolol on the prevention of ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) due to acute coronary ischaemia was studied in dogs. A series of propranolol-polymer controlled release matrices in slab configuration ...
Character of adsorbed bovine serum albumin from adsorption enthalpies
(Elsevier, 1986-09)
Heats of adsorption of BSA onto polystyrene and polycarbonate were determined microcalorimetrically. The polymers were coated onto 50 nm alumina particles which were immersed in buffer for the measurements. Experimental ...
