The durability of a road is among other factors dependent on the affinity between stones in the top layer and bitumen that holds the stones together. Poor adherence will cause stones to detach from the surface of the road more easily. The rolling bottle method is the standard way to determine the affinity between stones and bitumen. In this test a number of stones covered in bitumen are put in a r

Popular Abstract in Swedish Effekter av narkosgas, låg syrgashalt och blodförlust under blodspädning (hemodilution) på sövda grisar. Blodspädning (hemodilution) används under operation för att minska behovet av blodtransfusion med dess inneboende risker. Hemodilution innebär att blod tappas före operationsstart och ersätts med en blodkroppsfri lösning. Om en blödning uppstår under operationen blirHemodilution reduces the need for blood transfusion and hereby the risk for transmission of infectious agents. The present study investigated effects on systemic and myocardial circulation and oxygenation, and blood lactate concentrations; induced by nitrous oxide, isoflurane, hypoxia, and uncompensated blood loss, in pigs hemodiluted to a hematocrit of 11%. In addition, indicators of hypovolemia

This chapter focuses on technology-brokers and inventors who operate in a medical context. It aims to discuss how relationships between the actors involved affect the possibility of transforming innovations into consumables, and to describe the kind of social work needed to successfully make this transformation. The chapter explores some of those tricks by using the concept 'net work' when discuss

Eicosanoids are important for a wide range of physiological and pathophysiological processes.How their essential fatty acid precursors are absorbed and tissue distributed is not well charactherized. When given orally to rats, arachidonic acid (20:4) was retained in the small intestine to a larger extent than linoleic acid (18:2).More 20:4 than 18:2 was incorporated in phospholipids (PL) of the sma
