Life Savers

One use of the retarder is in emergencies where a breakdown somewhere further down the line causes a hold up. In these circumstances the retarder is regarded as a life saver. 

It began as an accidental discovery and observation that lay dormant for many years, as the discoverer lacked the means and connection to develop a product with sufficient quantity and purity to be used in clinical use. It laid dormant until another team appeared on the horizon, and it took World War II to provide the motivation and the resources critical to its development before penicillin became the life saver for millions. 

Tourniquet use remains controversial and is the source of a good deal of confusion (Navein 2003). In civilian emergency medicine, the fear of tourniquet-related complications has all but eliminated their use. Yet, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) advocates the liberal use of tourniquets (Lakstein 2003), as do members of the Special Operations Forces community (Butler 1996). These divergent views have led soldiers, combat life savers (CLS), medics, and other military medical personnel to considerable confusion. 

The annual global use of DDT for disease vector control is now running at about 66% (40,000 tons) of the I960 level and is expected to remain constant for the next decade (47) Major DDT resistance exists in about 1% of the area treated for malaria control and although a limited number of organophosphate and carbamate alternatives are available, their use is so much more costly that total DDT replacement seems economically impossible. Many of the less prosperous countries regard DDT as the most important life-saver known to man. Use of the other OC is more limited and resistance to them generally more intractable when it occurs ... 

Microbes such as bacteria and yeasts readily produce trehalose but only a few plants make it, yet for those which do it is literally a life-saver because it enables them to survive even the most prolonged drought. When it rains they miraculously come back to life. These so-called resurrection plants use this carbohydrate to preserve essential... 

Supporters of the use of pesticides claim that there is not one reported instance of an adverse effect in a human caused by DDT and that it is one of the least toxic and safest of all pesticides to humans and animals. Because of its low cost and effectiveness, DDT is still widely used in countries where malaria is endemic. Some of these poorer countries regard DDT as a very important life-saver. 

Go into the bathroom turn off the lights and look in the mirror as you chew on a wintergreen Life Saver with your mouth open. Triboluminescence in action. 

For a casualty who is able to administer a MARK I kit and seek out a buddy, a total of two antidote kits usually will be sufficient. On the other hand, a soldier with effects so severe that he is unable to self-administer the antidotes must depend on buddy-aid. A soldier who is not walking or talking should be given three MARK I antidote kits and diazepam by his buddy as quickly as they can be administered. When the unit medic or combat life-saver arrives, he can administer additional atropine and one or two more injectors of diazepam as conditions indicate.2... 

Casualties with severe effects, those who require on-the-spot assistance from the unit lifesaver or medic, will generally be sent back to the aid post or BAS for further care. The decision by the unit life-saver or medic to call for the litter team or ambulance team to evacuate that casualty is the first of many levels at which triage decisions are made on each casualty.

The positive contribution of brominated flame retardants as a life saver is a proven fact and European manufacturers of electronic goods should not jeopardise fire safety in an attempt to gain market acceptability. 

Reconstructed total ion gas chromatogram of headspace vapors from Orange Life Savers. The mass spectral detector measures ions above 34 atomic mass units. CO2 and Ar are from air, and CHjCb is the solvent used to clean the syringe. [From R. A. Kjonaas, j. L. Soller, and L. A. McCoy, y. Chem. Ed. 1997, 74,1104.)... 

It sounds like we really ought to proceed. But, how much do we make Remember - look to the market, how much is being sold None - unless you include Life Savers. How much can we sell Let us see two pills a day at a nickle each, X 200 million tired Americans, and 1% market penetration equals, 40 mil-lion/yr. Too much how about a tenth percent market penetration Guessing right is where the risk comes in. 

Paclitaxel and docetaxel, as very powerful anticancer drugs, proved to be a life saver for thousands of patients with various types of cancer. However, these drugs are expensive and difficult to synthesize and cause undesirable side effects as well as drug resistance, and their natural sources are limited. These mean that to remain taxol as an inexpensive drug in the pharmaceutical markets, separadmi of other biologically active compounds from renewable sources and new methods of synthesis or biotechnological cultivation techniques of plant cell and tissues to supply new generation of taxoids would be demanded.

Textile materials are materials for the daily use. Besides, textiles are also play a vital role in fashion shows. Technically, they are applied in variety of our life savers including safety belt, and the airbags in the cars, bulletproof vests protect against weapons, used as Implant material in medical applications. Recently, pol3mrethane (PU) foams that can be combined with Platilon thermoplastic pol5mrethane (TPU) films are used as excellent material for functional medical wound dressing which are not only help wounds to heal but also allow the wound to breathe by permeate the water-vapor [70, 71].
