Ultrafiltration of surfactant solutions.

Published: September 2002

The ultrafiltration of colloid solutions containing hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and alkylpolyglucoside (APG) through hydrophilic membranes with a 10,000 mol wt cut-off from regenerated cellulose was studied. The effects of experimental conditions on the permeate flux and secondary resistance were determined. It was found that both CTAB and APG were convenient surfactants for ultrafiltration, as high permeability of their solutions was observed. The secondary resistance was always significantly lower than the resistance of the membrane. Additionally, electrolytes had a relatively weak negative effect upon ultrafiltration fluxes. SDS was the least convenient surfactant due to formation of a gel layer, susceptibility of its colloid solutions to electrolyte content, and a high secondary resistance. The concentration of the surfactant in the permeate could increase above critical micelle concentration, especially under conditions inducing high polarization. Migration of CTAB on the surface of pores seemed responsible for that transfer.

The newly emerged variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) demonstrate resistance to present therapeutic antibodies as well as the capability to evade vaccination-elicited antibodies. JN.1 sublineages were demonstrated as one of the most immune-evasive variants, showing higher neutralization resistance compared to XBB.

Background: Data sharing accelerates scientific progress and improves evidence quality. Even though journals and funding institutions require investigators to share data, only a small part of studies made their data publicly available upon publication. The procedures necessary to share retrospective data for re-use in secondary data analysis projects can be cumbersome.

Background: Medically refractory hypertonia (MRH) within the pediatric population causes severe disability and is difficult to treat. Neurosurgery for mixed MRH includes intrathecal baclofen (ITB) and lumbosacral ventral-dorsal rhizotomy (VDR). Surgical efficacy limitations can be mitigated by combining the two into a multimodal strategy.

Chondrosarcomas are the second most common primary bone sarcoma. Due to chondrosarcomas relative resistance to chemotherapy and radiation, surgical treatment has become the mainstay treatment option. The purpose of our study was to understand the proportion of patients in this population who undergo non-operative treatment options secondary to various reasons and analyze the difference in survival as well as patient and cancer specific characteristics between the two groups.
