Download or read book Advances in Blood Substitutes written by R. Winslow and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each chapter of this volume is a contribution from an expert in the field, chosen by the editors to contribute to the 1997 "Current Issues in Blood Substitute Research and Development" course given in San Diego, March 17-19. The contributors were selected because of their expertise in areas which the editors believe to be critical to the advancement of the field, and which reflect activity in "hot" areas of relevant research. While there is a continuity in style for the annual course, each year brings changes in emphasis and content. In previous years, we were often not able to provide time for participants to present their views and opinions. Consequently, this year we encouraged discussion after each presentation. These sessions were recorded, transcribed, and are printed with the chapters herein. We believe that the product is very close to the capturing this year's course in print, and trust readers will enjoy reading the always candid and often provocative remarks from the audience. The price paid for inclusion of the discussion transcriptions was a delay in publication. Each author was allowed to edit his/her discussion section as well as the final version of the chapters prior to publication. The changes are mainly for grammar, and we tried, when possible, not to alter the conversational style of these interchanges.

Download or read book Blood Substitutes written by Thomas Ming Swi Chang and published by Basel, Switzerland : Karger Landes Systems. This book was released on 1997 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrated effort to develop blood substitutes was only seriously started after 1986 because of public concerns regarding HIV in donor blood. Many publications on blood substitutes have appeared since then, most of them designed mainly for specialists in the field. This first of two volumes on blood substitutes is written by a single author who has 40 years of research experience in this field. It not only keeps specialists up-to-date but also gives non-specialists a comprehensive overview of the most relevant materials. Furthermore, those starting research on blood substitutes will find specific examples of principles and basic laboratory methods. The book provides answers to questions like: why do we need blood substitutes, which are the potential areas of clinical applications and what effects do they have on blood supply and risk of infection? Several chapters are devoted to modified hemoglobin blood substitutes, discussing their composition, functional and efficacy properties as well as their safety and giving an overview of the modified hemoglobin products currently undergoing clinical trials. Other chapters deal with perfluorochemical-based blood substitutes and the future perspectives of blood substitutes in general. Volume 1 ends with a long list of references which should facilitate the search for literature. Liver, heart and trauma surgeons and especially administrators of hospitals, Red Cross societies, health insurers and government agencies will appreciate the clear approach towards a better understanding of this interdisciplinary area.

Book excerpt: Blood substitutes are solutions designed for use in patients who need blood transfusions, but for whom whole blood is not available, or is not safe. This interest has intensified in the wake of the AIDS and hepatitis C epidemics. Blood Substitutes describes the rationale, current approaches, clinical efficacy, and design issues for all blood substitutes now in clinical trials. The many summary diagrams and tables help make the book accessible to readers such as surgeons and blood bankers, who have less technical expertise than the biochemists and hematologists who are designing and testing blood substitutes.* Includes chapters necessary to the understanding of blood substitutes, including history, toxicity, physiology, and clinical applications* Presents detailed descriptions of the various products that have been developed and have advanced to clinical trials, and some that are in earlier states of development
