Stability of perfluorocarbon emulsions and their compatibility with blood serum.

........what is interesting about this article is that it states that the size of the artificial blood moleucule is not the sole factor in determining if it is toxic or not. the method of the preparation of the artificial blood is deemed to be important.

........all this says to me that we need to look a bit more in dr. dees' new modifications! a bit more info and we might have a better idea if this could be a so-so stock, a good stock long term or a blockbuster.

There is not enough to study of the perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions particle size only for judgment the question about their stability and quality. It is essential to evaluate also the structure alteration of PFC emulsions and their compatibility with the blood serum. It was shown that stability of PFC emulsion of the same composition depend on the mode of their preparing. The particle size of frozen PFC emulsions as a rule does not change at storage and their compatibility with blood serum can remain unchanged. However, the integrity of particle structure of PFC emulsions may be destroyed at unfreezing. The average diameter of PFC emulsion particles may remain unchanged at storage, but the compatibility with blood serum may become worse.

when i talked about the side effects this is what i was referring to. now, we need to find out if dr. d's magic potion prevents this reaction. notice that long term use of the solution caused problems. dr. d's elixir may be what we are looking for.

Pupillary block glaucoma due to residual perfluoro-decalin.

Alster Y, Ben-Nun Y, Loewenstein A, Lazar M

Department of Ophthalmology, Tel-Aviv Medical Center, Tel-Aviv, Israel.

Perfluorocarbon liquids are used in vitreoretinal surgery and should be removed by the end of surgery. Removal is not always achieved and a few cases of complications resulting from perfluorocarbon liquid residues have been reported. The authors report a unique case of pupillary block glaucoma resulting from perfluoro-decalin residue in the anterior chamber that blocked a surgical coloboma of the iris at the 6-o'clock position. The perfluoro-decalin residue dissolved spontaneously with antiglaucoma treatment and no surgical intervention was needed. When perfluorocarbon liquids are used during pars plana vitrectomy, the possibility of silicone-induced pupillary block in the presence of an inferior iris coloboma should not be overlooked.
