Impact of maintenance, resuscitation and unintended fluid therapy on global fluid load after elective coronary artery bypass surgery Vrije Universiteit Brussel
INTRODUCTION: Standardized protocols are provided for maintenance and replacement fluid therapy in critically ill patients. However, unintended fluid sources (analgesics, antibiotics and other drugs) are not always taken into account when prescribing intravenous fluid therapy. We evaluated the extent to which maintenance, resuscitation and unintended fluids contributed to total fluid load in elective coronary artery bypass graft patients ...
Fluid flow compartmentalization in the Sicilian fold and thrust belt: Implications for the regional aqueous fluid flow and oil migration history KU Leuven
The fluid flow history in the frontal part of the Sicilian fold and thrust belt (FTB) has been reconstructed using an integrated structural, petrographic, geochemical and microthermometric approach. The study focused on comparing fluid flow during progressive deformation along major thrust horizons and in pelagic sediments occurring in the associated thrust sheets (foot- and hanging wall). A fluid flow model is constructed for the frontal part ...
Fluid stability in large scale ORCs using siloxanes: long-term experiences and fluid recycling Universiteit Gent
The results in this work show the influence of long-term operation on the decomposition of working fluids in eight different power plants (both heat-led and electricity-led) in a range of 900 kWel to 2 MWel. All case study plants are using Octamethyltrisiloxane (MDM) as a working fluid. The case study plants are between six to 12 years old. On one system detailed analyses, including the fluid distribution throughout the cycle, have been ...
Towards personalized fluid monitoring in haemodialysis patients: thoracic bioimpedance signal shows strong correlation with fluid changes, a cohort study KU Leuven Universiteit Hasselt
BACKGROUND: Haemodialysis (HD) patients are burdened by frequent fluid shifts which amplify their comorbidities. Bioimpedance (bioZ) is a promising technique to monitor changes in fluid status. The aim of this study is to investigate if the thoracic bioZ signal can track fluid changes during a HD session. METHODS: Prevalent patients from a single centre HD unit were monitored during one to six consecutive HD sessions using a wearable ...
A Biocompatible Synthetic Lung Fluid Based on Human Respiratory Tract Lining Fluid Composition Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen
To characterise a biorelevant simulated lung fluid (SLF) based on the composition of human respiratory tract lining fluid. SLF was compared to other media which have been utilized as lung fluid simulants in terms of fluid structure, biocompatibility and performance in inhalation biopharmaceutical assays. The structure of SLF was investigated using cryo-transmission electron microscopy, photon correlation spectroscopy and Langmuir isotherms. ...
Late-Variscan fluid migration at the Variscan thrust front of Eastern Belgium: numerical modelling of the palaeothermal and fluid flow field KU Leuven
Modelling of the palaeothermal field at the Variscan thrust front in eastern Belgium indicates significant temperature modifications by late-Variscan palaeofluids migrating from internal to peripheral parts of the orogen. A detailed set of calibration data (chlorite geothermometry, microthermometry, organic rank) gives evidence of temporary palaeotemperature variations at the Variscan thrust front obviously connected to the migration of hot, low ...
Reproducibility of fluid status measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis in healthy volunteers : a key requirement to monitor fluid status in the intensive care unit Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Background: Little is known about the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in critically ill patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of BIA measurements by comparing non-dominant versus dominant body-side measurements at 2 separate time points in healthy volunteers in order to extrapolate key elements that may be of relevance in critically ill patients. Methods: A prospective observational validation ...
Production of novel varietal hop aromas by supercritical fluid extraction of hop pellets - Part 2: Preparation of single variety floral, citrus, and spicy hop oil essences by density programmed supercritical fluid extraction KU Leuven
In this study on the production of novel varietal hop aromas by supercritical fluid extraction of hop pellets we aim at fractionated extraction of hop oil essences by density programmed supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of hop pellets T90 using carbon dioxide. For that purpose, SFE is performed in two steps. In the first step, the most volatile compounds from hop essential oil are isolated by extracting pellets T90 applying a carbon dioxide ...
