USE OF A HIGH PLATELET-TO-RBC RATIO OF 2:1 IS MORE EFFECTIVE IN CORRECTING TRAUMA-INDUCED COAGULOPATHY THAN A RATIO OF 1:1 IN A RAT MULTIPLE TRAUMA TRANSFUSION MODEL

Use of a high platelet-to-RBC ratio of 2:1 is more effective in correcting trauma-induced coagulopathy than a ratio of 1:1 in a rat multiple trauma transfusion model

Abstract Background Platelet dysfunction importantly contributes to trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC).Our aim was to examine the impact of transfusing platelets (PLTs) in a 2:1 PLT-to-red blood cell (RBC) ratio versus the standard 1:1 ratio on transfusion requirements, correction of TIC, and organ damage in a rat multiple trauma transfusion model.M

Chemical, microbial and sensory properties of a chestnut and milk ice cream with improved healthy characteristics

With the aim of revalorization of two productions of economic relevance (milk and chestnuts), Headphones a novel ice cream was formulated incorporating milk, chestnut flour and chestnut bits.Using the best sensory valued formula as a basis, eight ice cream formulations were elaborated replacing the ingredients normally used (milk fat, sucrose and B

An evaluation of random forest based input variable selection methods for one month ahead streamflow forecasting

Abstract In the development of data-driven models for streamflow forecasting, choosing appropriate input variables is crucial.Although random forest (RF) has been successfully applied to streamflow forecasting for input variable selection (IVS), comparative analysis of different random forest-based IVS (RF-IVS) methods is yet absent.Here, we invest
