Trace elements in marine biogenic carbonates: analysis and application to past ocean chemistry
No full textTrace elements in marine biogenic carbonates may be used as proxies for past oceanchemistry provided that there is an established relationship between the trace elementproxy and a parameter of interest, this relationship is preserved within biogeniccarbonate, and the trace element can be determined sufficiently accurately. Successfulapplication of any trace element proxy requires both development of the analyticalmethodology to ensure accurate data with the necessary sensitivity, and anunderstanding of the relationship between proxy and seawater chemistry.Herein I develop methods for the determination of Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca and Cd/Ca inplanktonic foraminiferal calcite, using inductively coupled plasma optical emissionspectrophotometry and isotope dilution thermal ionisation mass spectrometry, andpropose a potential reference material for Mg/Ca in foraminiferal calcite. The developedtechniques are applied to an investigation of the Mg/Ca temperature proxy overChatham Rise in the Southwest Pacific Ocean and a calibration study of the partitioncoefficient, DCd, for cadmium incorporation into planktonic foraminifera.Comparisons of planktonic foraminiferal Mg/Ca, shell weight and oxygenisotope records from sites north and south of the Subtropical Front on Chatham Rise,demonstrate the effects of hydrography, foraminiferal habitat and dissolution as controlson Mg/Ca. Determinations of Cd/Ca in seven species of planktonic foraminiferaconfirm that the dominant controls on Cd/Ca are foraminiferal habitat and hydrography,with only a minor influence of post depositional dissolution. The major uncertainty indetermination of DCd from core top samples comes from uncertainty in estimation of thedepth distribution and seasons of calcification of planktonic foraminifera
A one-centre prospective audit of peri- and postoperative blood loss and transfusion practice in patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery.
No full textWe prospectively audited peri-operative blood loss and blood transfusion practice in 42 elderly patients (mean age, 71.8 years, 68% female) undergoing hip or knee surgery in an orthopaedic unit. Only in 57% of all operations was blood loss recorded. Compliance with the Maximum Surgical Blood Ordering Schedule (MSBOS) was variable, and Cross-matching to Transfusion (C/T) ratios were low. In 86% of operations, blood had been issued pre-operatively (average three units, range = 1-61 units). Of these patients, 75% subsequently received a transfusion. In 26% of all the operations, the transfusion, although confirmed by the blood transfusion laboratory records, had not been recorded in the medical or nursing notes. The average pre-operative Hb in the transfusion group was 123 g/l (range, 80-144 g/l) and 112 g/l postoperatively and after a transfusion (range, 75-133 g/l). This compared to the non-transfusion group's value of 124 g/l (range, 86-186 g/l) and 113 g/l (range, 77-147 g/l) postoperatively. The high blood issuing and transfusion rates raise the concern that transfusions are being given in response to habit or blood availability, and not medical indications. This would imply that some patients are exposed to unnecessary risks. Furthermore, inadequate documentation of the transfusion process opens the medical profession to criticism and medical, legal and ethical complications regarding patient care. Positive improvements suggested by regular medical audit may help address these problems

Physico-chemical challenges on the self-assembly of natural and bio-based ingredients on hair surfaces: towards sustainable haircare formulations
No full textPolymers and surfactants are used in many technological and industrial applications such as the manufacture of functional materials and coatings, personal care and pharmaceutical products, food science, paints, anti-icing fluids, tertiary oil recovery and the paper industry. Polymer–surfactant mixtures are particularly important in shampoos and conditioners. However, as in almost every other industry over the past five or more decades, the performance of hair care formulations has been significantly improved by the use of petrochemical-derived ingredients. As a result, cosmetic formulations, and hair care formulations in particular, have been based primarily on polymers and surfactants that are neither renewable, nor derived from environmentally friendly processes, nor have a positive environmental impact. This contrasts with the extensive use of natural and renewable products, mainly plant extracts, in cosmetics in ancient times. Therefore, the substitution of currently used ingredients with others of natural origin has been a top priority for the cosmetic industry over the last two decades, and in order to achieve greater consumer acceptance, it is crucial to maintain and, where possible, improve the technical performance of such products. This paper describes the complexities and challenges of developing greener shampoo and conditioner ingredients and formulations to meet current and future needs, and outlines a methodological approach based on model hair surfaces and a selection of appropriate experimental and numerical techniques to achieve our goals. Some encouraging technical routes using biosurfactants, biopolymers and bio-based polymers are presented, along with the significant opportunity to obtain a wide range of green ingredients through molecular design and well-controlled biotechnological processes. Similar concerns apply to other cosmetic products such as waxes, fragrances, bleaching agents, etc.Depto. de Química FísicaFac. de Ciencias QuímicasTRUEpubDescuento UC
