Colloids (Colloid)

Two-phase systems in which one is uniformly dispersed in another as particles small enough so they cannot be filtered or will not settle out. The dispersing or continuous phase or medium envelops the particles of the discontinuous phase. All three states of matter can form colloids among each other.

1.	Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure) 04/01/2015 - "Crystalloids proved more effective than colloid or their combination in hypotension prophylaxis in the first 10 minutes after spinal anaesthesia." 03/01/2007 - "In order to avoid reductions in uteroplacental blood flow, tremendous research has been performed, showing that the avoidance of aortocaval compression, compression of the lower extremities, and prehydration with colloids are effective in reducing maternal hypotension. " 01/01/2010 - "There were no significant differences in the nursing time required to treat IDH and the time to restore BP. No randomised or controlled trial was identified comparing albumin to crystalloids (other than normal saline) or non-protein colloids, or a combination of both, in the treatment of symptomatic hypotension during dialysis. One double blind crossover RCT in 45 assessable patients showed that 5% albumin is not superior to normal saline for the treatment of symptomatic hypotension in maintenance haemodialysis patients with a previous history of IDH. " 04/01/2007 - "This study tested the hypothesis that colloid loading after spinal blockade can reduce hypotension compared with preloading, and affect neonatal outcomes. " 07/01/2006 - "To study the effects on volume expansion and myocardial function of colloids or crystalloids in the treatment of hypovolaemic hypotension after cardiac and major vascular surgery. "
2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 11/01/2008 - "Hydrocolloid technology has been proven effective in treating dermal wounds. " 05/01/2006 - "This study compares the effect of a daily gauze dressing with that of a lipido-colloid dressing on the time taken to make up the dressing and efficacy of the management of traumatic digital wounds. " 10/01/2015 - "Analysis of the healing process of the wounds occurring in rats using lasertherapy in association with hydrocolloid." 07/25/2015 - "Mechanical properties and in vivo healing evaluation of a novel Centella asiatica-loaded hydrocolloid wound dressing." 03/01/2015 - "Furthermore, the remedial effects of pAuNPs on skin regeneration and angiogenesis were examined using Sprague Dawley® (SD) rats with skin injuries after a pAuNP-deposited hydrocolloid membrane (pAuNP-HCM) had been applied for 15 days. "
3.	Breast Neoplasms (Breast Cancer) 05/01/2001 - "Dermal injection of radioactive colloid is superior to peritumoral injection for breast cancer sentinel lymph node biopsy: results of a multiinstitutional study." 01/01/1992 - "Conservative surgery and radiation therapy is effective treatment of ductal, lobular, medullary, colloid, and tubular invasive breast cancer." 06/01/2008 - "The gold standard of axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in breast cancer is the combination of radioactive colloid and blue dye injection. " 05/01/2001 - "Improved sentinel node visualization in breast cancer by optimizing the colloid particle concentration and tracer dosage." 06/01/2003 - "Sentinel node detection using 99mTc-rhenium sulphide colloid in breast cancer patients: evaluation of 1 day and 2 day protocols, and a dose-finding study."
4.	Shock 07/01/2009 - "Hypertonic saline and colloids have characteristics that allow effective treatment of hypovolemic shock using relatively smaller volumes than would be required for isotonic crystalloids alone. " 01/01/2014 - "The background of this study is to determine whether the addition of intravenous colloid to diuretic therapy, in comparison to diuretic therapy alone, improves diuresis and oxygenation and prevents intravascular volume depletion in intensive care unit (ICU) patients without shock. " 01/01/2012 - "Impairment of renal function using hyperoncotic colloids in a two hit model of shock: a prospective randomized study." 09/01/1985 - "This study evaluated the effects of varying colloid concentrations and infusion volumes on survival and plasma volume expansion in rats subjected to an intestinal ischemic shock. " 04/01/2015 - "Besides albumin, which is gained from human donors, synthetic colloids have been playing a dominant role in treating patients in shock and are standard therapy in intensive care units (ICU). "
5.	Hemorrhagic Shock 12/01/1991 - "The efficacy of using colloids vs. crystalloids in the treatment of hemorrhagic shock remains controversial. " 01/01/2015 - "We evaluated the effects of various synthetic colloids and Lactated Ringer's (LR) solution on hemorheological parameters in vitro and in a rodent hemorrhagic shock model. " 03/01/2014 - "Plasma colloid osmotic pressure is an early indicator of injury and hemorrhagic shock." 04/01/2012 - "Artificial colloids, frequently used to prevent hemorrhagic shock in children, impair blood coagulation. " 01/01/2012 - "We examined the effects of medium-HES (mean molecular weight of 130,000 dalton) and low-HES (mean molecular weight of 70,000 dalton) on the survival rates (Exp. I), colloid osmotic pressure (COP) (Exp. II) and coagulation (Exp. III) with rats in hemorrhagic shock. "
