In trauma patients it is mandatory to establish the exact reason for their hypotension. If hypovolaemia is most probably responsible for the hypotension, fluid resuscitation should be initiated. The therapy of choice is infusion of sugarless, isotonic crystalloids with a physiologic serum electrolyte composition. In patients with brain injuries a decrease in serum osmolality is not advisable and hypertonic fluids may therefore be considered. Human albumin preparations are no longer indicated, but synthetic colloids may be an adjunct to a pure crystalloid regime. Hydroxyethyl starch preparations with a molecular weight in the mean range are reasonable choices considering the individual advantages and disadvantages of the various colloids. Larger blood losses must be treated with blood components such as packed red cells, fresh frozen plasma and thrombocyte concentrates as indicated. There are no widely accepted values for laboratory or monitoring parameters in starting or stopping a given fluid therapy; these values are unquestionably influenced, among other things, by the patient history and the pattern of the injuries. Initial resuscitation (when to start, who should administer the fluid and how much) also remains a focus of heated controversy.
We describe direct imaging measurements of the collective and relative diffusion of two colloidal spheres near a flat plate. The bounding surface modifies the spheres' dynamics, even at separations of tens of radii. This behavior is captured by a stokeslet analysis of fluid flow driven by the spheres' and wall's no-slip boundary conditions. In particular, this analysis reveals surprising asymmetry in the normal modes for pair diffusion near a flat surface.
An apparatus was designed to prepare solid lipid nanospheres (SLN), potential colloidal therapeutic system obtained by dispersing a warm oil-in-water (o/w) microemulsion in cold water. The apparatus, consisting mainly of a thermostated aluminium chamber and a pneumatic piston, permitted to disperse through a needle up to 100 ml of warm microemulsion and to vary the temperature, the dispersing rate and the drop size of the warm o/w microemulsion. Experimental design was applied to study the effect of four experimental factors, such as chamber temperature, piston pressure, needle gauge and volume of dispersing water, on average diameter and polydispersity index of SLN and on dispersing time of microemulsion (the time required for the microemulsion to drip completely from the apparatus). The results showed that temperature and pressure play the most important roles depending on the needle gauge used. In particular, the smallest SLN were obtained using high temperature and pressure values and a small needle gauge.
