Abstract: Embodiments herein provide plant compositions, and, more specifically, a plant composition including Allium vineale or an extract thereof. Other compositions are also provided, as well as methods of formulating the compositions, and methods of using the compositions to treat or prevent conditions such as cancer, allergies, and inflammation, or to promote cytoprotection or accelerate wound healing.

Abstract: A gas-containing hemodialysis liquid is introduced into a helical coil of tubing formed from a hydrophobic material. Axial flow through the tubing is prevented and the hemodialysis liquid is pressure forced through the hydrophobic material, to free the gases from solution. Gases are released from the liquid through the hydrophobic material into an annular chamber surrounding the tubing.

Abstract: A coil of hydrophobic tubing is wrapped around the side wall of an inner chamber. The gas-containing hemodialysis liquid is delivered into the inner chamber through one end thereof and flows out from the inner chamber into one end of the hydrophobic tubing through an opening at the opposite end of the inner chamber. It then flows through the tubing back towards the first end of the inner chamber, generally countercurrent to flow through the inner chamber. Gases are released from the liquid through the hydrophobic material into an annular chamber surrounding the tubing.
