A cartography of the Van der Waals territory

The distribution of distances from atoms of a particular element E to a probe atom X (oxygen in most cases), both bonded and intermolecular non-bonded contacts, has been analyzed. In general, the distribution is characterized by a maximum at short EX distances corresponding to chemical bonds, followed by a range of unpopulated distances the van der Waals gap and a second maximum at longer distances the van der Waals peak superimposed on a random distribution function that roughly follows a d3 dependence. The analysis of more than five million interatomic"non-bonded" distances has led to the proposal of a consistent set of van der Waals radii for most naturally occurring elements, and its applicability to other element pairs has been tested for a set of more than three million data, all of them compared to over one million bond distances.

Plasmaferese : veilig bij een goede indicatiestelling en kennis van de complicaties [Plasmapheresis, a safe treatment when applied to the correct indication and with awareness of the complications]

Plasmapheresis is an extracorporeal technique used to remove pathogenic macromolecules from the circulation, particularly autoantibodies. This is illustrated in 2 female patients. The first patient, aged 61 years, was treated successfully with non-selective plasmapheresis for acute humoral rejection shortly after receiving a renal allograft. In the second patient, aged 82 years, plasmapheresis for refractory myasthenia gravis had to be stopped because of bradycardia and hypotension during the procedure. She was treated successfully with immunoglobulins. Plasmapheresis is used to treat neurological, renal, haematological and systemic disorders. In nonselective plasmapheresis, the plasma is replaced with saline and albumin or donor plasma. In selective plasmapheresis a highly selective filter is used to remove a specific, pathogenic macromolecule. Adverse effects of the treatment include disturbances of the acid-base equilibrium or the coagulation, and allergic reactions. Most of these complications, however, can nowadays be avoided.
