... by the polymyxin B-immobilized fiber column (PMX). PMX has been used for decades in Europe. Results of a North American randomized controlled trial (RCT) on PMX have recently been announced in a press release; results of large-scale observational studies and meta-analyses have also been reported in the last...

.... In this chapter, we discuss our experience with high-definition fiber tracking (HDFT), a diffusion spectrum imaging-based technique. We also discuss ongoing developments and specific advantages HDFT may offer concussion patients. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) places a tremendous burden on our society...

... the clinical evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and their meta-analyses of the effectiveness of probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary fiber in the treatment of FGD in the pediatric population. While it is too soon to recommend the routine use of any probiotics for treating FGD, some...

... of the PL-B and the acid chains of LPS. The hydrophobic residue is indicated by arrows. How to Design the PL-B-Immobilized Fiber and Cartridge PL-B cannot be intravenously injected due to its nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Therefore, it was covalently bonded to an insoluble substrate...

... hemoperfusionwith polymyxin-B-immobilized fiber (PMX-F) is a promising treatment of gramnegativesepsis in critically ill patients. Because of the high affinity of polymyxin B forendotoxin, the rationale underlying extracorporeal therapy would be to remove circulating endotoxinby adsorption, thus preventing...

... pretreatment methods. Based on this stable process, Zimmer AG’s objectiveis to impart to the Lyocell fiber additional value to improve quality of life and thus to tapnew markets for the product. Thanks to the specific incorporation of seaweed, the processallows to produce cellulose Lyocell fibers...

...).Whether this fiber seems to be suited for bioactive textiles in specific anatomical bodyregions and skin conditions with a susceptibility to fungal and bacterial infections, namelyCandida species, S. aureus and E. coli, must be examined by means of further investigations,especially human in vivo tests...
