Abstract: Embodiments provide an extra corporeal membrane oxygenation circuit, wherein a pump communicates blood from a patient to an oxygenator and thence back to the patient, comprising: a medium diameter venous line configured to accept blood from the patient and communicate the blood to the pump; a medium diameter arterial line configured to accept blood from the oxygenator and communicate the blood to the patient; one or more shunts connected in a series; wherein a first of such shunts is connected to accept blood from the venous line in parallel with the pump and wherein a last of such shunts is connected to communicate blood to the arterial line.

Abstract: A system and method for matching and merging documents from disparate data sources into a single data store for a particular entity are provided. The system and method may be particularly useful for a healthcare system to match and merge data from disparate data sources about a healthcare provider.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the biological treatment under anaerobic/anoxic conditions for the degradation of pollutants present in brine solution used in waste water management, in industrial waste brine solutions and in waste oil field brine solutions, especially waste brine solutions contaminated with perchlorate and nitrate. A culture capable of reducing perchlorate and nitrate in spent ion-exchange regenerant brine containing at least 30 g/L NaCl under anaerobic/anoxic conditions was used to demonstrate the process. A stabilized brine solution is also disclosed in which a culture capable of degrading a given pollutant can be proliferate.
