New Developments In Hemodialysis For Chronic Renal Failure, Lee W. Henderson
New Developments In Hemodialysis For Chronic Renal Failure, Lee W. Henderson
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
I am going to speak mainly about extracorporeal hemodialysis, that is, dialysis conducted with an artificial kidney as opposed to peritoneal dialysis. I am going to direct the majority of my comments toward the extraordinary technique of the maintenance of life in patients with chronic renal failure. I would like to break my discussion into three general areas: 1) a review of the historical development of the dialyzer, including some remarks on what happens at the membrane level; 2) a look at the results we are getting with this kind of hardware; 3) and a comment on some of the …
Mechanism Of Energy Transformations In Biological Membranes, David E. Green
Mechanism Of Energy Transformations In Biological Membranes, David E. Green
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
One of the most fundamental problems of biology is how energy is transduced in living systems. It is a problem that has fascinated and absorbed a great many distinguished chemists, biochemists and physicists. I believe we have reached a stage in the development of our knowledge of the mechanism of energy transduction which now permits us to see the direction which leads to the final solution. It is with this development that I shall be concerned in this evening's lecture.
