More precisely, the tested oil/drilling fluid proportions were blended at 300 rpm for 5 min, and then immediately placed in the graduated cylinders, so the rate of separation of the two phases could be measured (Quintero and Jones 2003).
Fluid balance was similar in the two groups, as was the proportion of instructions given for fluid and diuretics.
Moreover, a substantial proportion of patients (>70%) had shock requiring massive blood or fluid transfusion on ICU admission for which the study protocol dictated positive fluid balance.
Although the volume-dependent component of hypertension may be corrected by fluid removal, a proportion of HD patients experience postdialysis BP rise.
We also found in normal pleural fluid a lower proportion of natural regulatory T cells (Treg) than in the pathological pleural effusions.
In pleural fluid, the relative proportion of NK cells was much lower in all groups of patients than in healthy controls (p < 0.001), although patients with mesothelioma (MPM group) kept relatively more pleural NK cells than in the BPLAE and METS groups.
An antibody directed to the amino-terminal extracellular domain of IL-17RA labeled 43 ± 4% of cultured DRG neurons, which were mainly small and medium sized [ 51], suggesting that IL-17A in the extracellular fluid affects a proportion of sensory neurons.
In contrast with Slesak et al [ 3], the RCT by O'Keeffe and Lavan [ 4] found no significant difference in the amount of fluid or the proportion of prescribed mean (standard deviation) volume administered by IV as compared to SC infusion (0.76 0.14) litres vs 0.82 0.12) litres, p = 0.1).
Contaminants introduced by the drilling fluid comprised moderate proportions that were observed in all the drillcore samples down to 99.3 m depth.
