(1) A new centrifugal pump (Sarns), originally designed for ventricular assist, was successfully used in two patients during repair of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta.
(2) A Sarns roller blood pump is used to pump fluid into the joint through the arthroscope with outflow by gravity drainage through a plastic cannula.
(3) Two comparable groups of four Holstein calves were implanted with different left ventricle assist devices: the Centrimed centrifugal pump (CP) (Sarns Inc.) or the UTAH 85 VAD pneumatic ventricle (University of Utah).
(4) Fifty-four patients have had postcardiotomy circulatory support with the Sarns centrifugal device at our institution.
(5) The index of hemolysis of the nonpulsatile pump is 0.015, about one fifth of a clinically used roller made in Shanghai and two sevenths of one Sarns 7,000 Roller; the index of hemolysis of the pulstile pump is 0.020, about one sixth of a self-made diaphragm pump and one thirteenth of the Polystan pulsa tile pump.
(6) During a 25-month period ending November 1988, we used 40 Sarns centrifugal pumps as univentricular or biventricular cardiac assist devices in 27 patients who could not be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass despite maximal pharmacologic and intraaortic balloon support.
(7) Proposed structural advantages of the Sarns centrifugal pump for perfusion of the distal thoracic aorta without heparin are resistance to thrombus formation, air embolus, and hemolysis.
(8) Currently two major types of centrifugal pumps are commercially available for ventricular assist: the Biomedicus-cone (Group I) and the Centrimed-impeller pump (now Sarns 3M) (Group II).
(9) Data were reviewed on 10 patients (nine men and one woman) supported with assist devices (Thoratec-five, Nova-cor-three, Sarns-one, Jarvik-one) for longer than 30 days (range, 31-440; mean, 137 days).
(10) In contrast, the increased HK activity after either tADN or tARN alone was returned to levels not different from sADN-sARN rats in all structures in the tADN-tARN rats, except MnPO, mpPVH, and dArc, where the level of HK activity was only attenuated, and MS, POA, and vArc, where it remained elevated.
(11) The non-pulsatile pump was compared with the Shanghai and Sarns 7000 roller pumps for haemolysis.
(12) For advanced tumor thrombi a surgical technique with routinely performed thoracotomy, inserting a Sarns-catheter and preparing the cardiopulmonary bypass is mandatory.
(13) Since October 1986, 6 hospital survivors who were salvaged from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with the Sarns centrifugal pump were observed.
(14) The authors used the Sarns centrifugal pump (Sarns 3M, Ann Arbor, MI) as a ventricular assist device (VAD) in 30 patients between May 1985 and February 1990.
(15) In the 3-day tARN group only, a significant decrease in hexokinase activity was observed in the region of the brainstem containing the A5 cell group, compared with sARN animals.
(16) Cellular thyroxine (CT4) was determined according to Sarne and Refetoff, J. Clin.
(17) The Sarns centrifugal pump is an effective assist device when used to salvage patients who otherwise cannot be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass.
(18) Thus, the Sarns centrifugal pump will allow salvage of some patients who otherwise are not weanable from CPB.
(19) The effects of pulsatile and nonpulsatile flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with of centrifugal pump (Sarns) and membrane oxygenator, on blood cells, hemodynamics, and hormonal response were studied.
(20) To assess the feasibility of left ventricular assist without systemic heparinization, we used a commercially available (Sarns 3M) centrifugal pump with tubing set and cannulas, all internally precoated for the purpose of this study with heparin, to bypass the left ventricle in 12 pigs for periods of either 1 or 3 hours.
Sorn
Definition:
(v. i.) To obtrude one's self on another for bed and board.
Example Sentences:
(1) You will still need to tax your car (unless you are applying for a statutory off road notification, Sorn), while it is off the road) but you will be able to pay for it monthly by direct debit, rather than with an upfront payment for six or 12 months.
(2) One of the most famous dishes in this tradition is laab , a punchy, smokey (in some cases raw) mincemeat, offal and blood salad; another is nam prik ong , a tomato pork dip akin to a ragu – excellent versions of both are made by the sisters of Sorn Chai restaurant, opposite Thapae Gate.
