摘要:
The present invention is directed to a subcutaneous peritoneal injection catheter apparatus and methods which minimizes catheter obstruction during use. The apparatus includes a receiving chamber or reservoir having a relatively small internal volume while employing a penetrable membrane and relatively enlarged target surface area. The reservoir is interconnected with the peritoneal cavity by a hollow stem. The penetrable membrane accommodates a hollow needle being inserted into the receiving reservoir and is configurated with a dome-like profile so that the membrane may also be depressed to expel insulin from the receiving reservoir into the peritoneal cavity in a direction generally toward the mesenteric peritoneal membrane.The portion of the apparatus which is in the peritoneal cavity is preferably constructed of, or coated with, a material which is capable of minimizing the adhesion of cells and the growth of bacteria on that portion of the apparatus. In a presently preferred embodiment of the subcutaneous peritoneal injection catheter, the portion of the catheter to be within the peritoneal cavity is constructed of a polyurethane material, and this polyurethane material is then coated with a solution of polyurethane and poly(ethylene glycol) in a suitable solvent.

The concentration of multiple polyatomic gases are determined simultaneously by Raman light scattering. The gas sample is placed in a sampling cell and a polarized laser beam is passed through the cell, along a longitudinal axis. A portion of the light scattered by the gas sample is captured and detected by means of multiple collection optics-filter-detector channels. The scattered light exits the gas cell via windows located in the sides of the gas cell and enters the collection channels which are aligned with the cell windows. The cell windows are along the longitudinal axis of the laser beam and gas cell. Light scattered by the gas sample provides signals of both inelastic Raman scattered light and elastic laser scattered light which are directed to the collection channels. The optics of each channel transports the scattered light signals onto a laser line rejection filter where the elastic scattered laser signals are attenuated. The remaining inelastic Raman scattered signals are caused to be incident upon an interference filter which is specific to the transmission of one or more specific Raman lines. The interference filter in each collection channel is selected to a specific wavelength which is characteristic of Raman scattering from a particular polyatomic gas. The optical signals representative of these specific Raman lines passing through the interference filters are sensed by optical detectors, and amplified and converted into digital electrical pulses which are processed into simultaneous visual readouts indicative of the identity and concentration of each of the polyatomic gas molecules present in the sample of gas being analyzed.

Described herein is a patient interfacing system for sampling the inspired and expired gases of a patient and removing moisture from the sample. In one embodiment of the present invention, a patient link receives the gases from the patient's airway circuit and a vaporization section vaporizes condensed moisture in the sample. A separator section allows the vaporized moisture component of the sample to exit the patient interfacing system before the gas sample reaches the monitoring instrument. A filter may also be utilized to prevent condensed moisture, particulates and liquids from entering the monitoring instrument. Thus, the patient interfacing system of the present invention provides a reliable, cost effective and efficient means for delivering gas samples to a monitoring instrument which reduces or prevents water condensation inside the gas analysis portion of the monitoring instrument.

A catalyst system capable of catalysing the carbonylation of an olefinally unsaturated compound is described. The 5 catalyst system is obtainable by combining: (a) a metal of Group VIB or Group VIII B or a compound thereof; and (b) a bidentate phosphine of general formula (I) Ad)s(CR4R5R6)TQ2-A-(K,D)Ar(E,Z)-B-Q1(Ad)u(CR1R2R3)v. Ad represents an optionally substituted adamantyl radical bonded to the phosphorous atom via any one of its tertiary carbon atoms. A method of production of the catalyst is also illustrated.
