Smallpox vaccine can be diluted and still be effective, expanding supply if needed
... success rate. Those injected with the one to five dilution (n = 114) had a 98.2 percent success rate, while those receiving the one to ten dilution (n = 113) also had a 100 percent success rate of vaccination. Nearly all of the study volunteers (99...Arsenic remedy for arsenic poisoning?

... generation to reduce transportation, storage, and dilution costs. However, combining H2 and O2 in conventional reactor systems is not feasible at H2 concentrations above 5vol%, as the mixture becomes flammable and even explosive. At low H2 concentrations, very high pressures are required, rendering the pro...Blood dilution during bypass surgery associated with kidney damage
