Colloids are particles that have a diameter of between approximately 1 and 1,000 nanometres and that are evenly dispersed in fluids. Colloids are also known as colloidal dispersions because the ...

Current laser technologies for the extended short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral range rely on expensive and complex materials, limiting their scalability and affordability. To address these ...

To minimize hypotension and to maintain urine output, many surgical patients are given large volumes of intravenous fluids perioperatively. Because large fluid volumes can create complications ...

A contrast dye allergic reaction can occur after a diagnostic imaging test, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan. The contrast dye used with these tests is an ...

In the past, perhaps undue attention has been given to organic colloids, which enter so frequently into the study of biology and into chemical technology, but the inorganic colloidal behaviour is ...

Given the revolution in thinking about the historic risk of CI-AKI as it pertains to intravenous contrast medium administration, it is worth considering to what extent the risk in patients receiving ...

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 ...
