comparison of haematological Recovery times and supportive care requirements of autologous Recovery Phase peripheral blood stem cell transplants autologous bone marrow transplants and allogeneic bone marrow transplants
Bone Marrow Transplantation, 1992Co-Authors: L B To, M M Roberts, David N Haylock, P G Dyson, A L Branford, D Thorp, J Q K Ho, G W Dart, Noemi Horvath, M L J DavyAbstract:The haematological Recovery time, infection rate and supportive care requirements of patients receiving Recovery Phase autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplants (APBSCT) (n = 38), autologous bone marrow transplants (autoBMT) (n = 13) and allogeneic bone marrow transplants (alloBMT) (n = 14) were compared with respect to the time post-transplant to reach 0.1, 0.5 and 2.0 x 10(9) neutrophils/l and 50 and 150 x 10(9) platelets/l, the length of hospitalization, fever and antibiotic use, the incidence of documented infection and the number of red cell and platelet transfusions. The APBSCT group had a significantly more rapid Recovery of neutrophils and platelets and their supportive care requirements were significantly less than the autoBMT and the alloBMT groups. There was no difference between the latter two groups. The most significant variables contributing to the differences in haematological Recovery times were the granulocyte-macrophage progenitor (CFU-GM) dose infused and, to a lesser extent, patient age. The APBSCT group received a higher CFU-GM dose of 87 +/- 12 x 10(4)/kg BW compared with 12 +/- 5 and 17 +/- 3 x 10(4)/kg BW in the autoBMT and the alloBMT groups, respectively (p = 0.0001). Patient age showed a negative correlation with the rate of Recovery because the APBSCT group, which recovered faster was also older (48 +/- 2 years, compared with 33 +/- 3 and 31 +/- 2, respectively, p = 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, CFU-GM dose was the only variable to show a significant correlation with all the haematological Recovery endpoints studied in these 65 patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Life cycle balance of building structures in Taiwan and substitution effect of wood structure
Multimedia Technology (ICMT) 2011 International Conference on, 2011Co-Authors: Sheng-han Li, H. AltanAbstract:Materials of building construction have significant environmental impacts in terms of energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This paper discusses environmental burdens of reinforced concrete structure, wood structure and steel structure in Taiwan from the construction Phase and the material Recovery Phase. The outcomes show that wood structure has highly environmentally friendly potential than that reinforced concrete and steel structures.

embodied environmental burdens of wood structure in taiwan compared with reinforced concrete and steel structures with various Recovery rates
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012Co-Authors: Sheng-han LiAbstract:This paper investigates environmental impacts of wood structure, reinforced concrete (RC) structure and steel structure in Taiwan in terms of embodied energy consumption and embodied CO2 emissions. The methodology of life cycle assessment (LCA) is applied to the analysis in building materials both from ‘cradle to gate’ perspectives and from ‘cradle to cradle’ perspectives. The results first show that wood structure with the resource from the USA has the least environmental impacts. In addition, as far as material Recovery Phase is concerned, the substitution effect of wood structure instead of RC and steel structure has an obvious increase as the Recovery rate reaches more than 60%. To summarise, wood structure is beneficial for our environment not only in the construction Phase but also in the material Recovery Phase.

feasibility utility and safety of midodrine during Recovery Phase from septic shock
Chest, 2016Co-Authors: Micah R Whitson, Edwin Mo, Tasnima Nabi, Lauren Healy, Seth Koenig, Mangala Narasimhan, Paul H MayoAbstract:Background We describe the feasibility, utility, and safety of oral midodrine to replace IV vasopressors during Recovery from septic shock. Methods This was a retrospective study performed in a medical ICU. All study subjects had a diagnosis of septic shock requiring at least 24 hours of IV vasopressors and demonstrated clinical stability with stable or decreasing doses of IV vasopressors. The two groups compared were those who received IV vasopressors only and those who received IV vasopressors with adjunctive midodrine. Results Of the 275 study patients, 140 received an IV vasopressor only and 135 received midodrine in addition to an IV vasopressor. There was no difference between the groups’ demographics (age, sex, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation 4 score). Mean IV vasopressor duration was 3.8 days in the IV vasopressor only group and 2.9 days in the IV vasopressor with midodrine group ( P P = .007). ICU length of stay was 9.4 days in the IV vasopressor only group and 7.5 days in the IV vasopressor with midodrine group ( P = .017). There were no complications associated with midodrine use except transient bradycardia in one patient, which resolved upon discontinuation of midodrine. Conclusions Midodrine may reduce the duration of IV vasopressors during Recovery Phase from septic shock and may be associated with a reduction in length of stay in the ICU.
