Café Procope
The Café Procope (), also known as Le Procope (), on the Rue de l'Ancienne Comédie, is a café in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. The original café was opened in 1686 by the Sicilian chef Procopio Cutò (also known by his Italian name Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli and his French name François Procope); it became a hub of the Parisian artistic and literary community in 18th and 19th centuries. It sometimes is erroneously called the oldest café in the world in continuous operation; (the Queen's Lane Coffee House in Oxford England has been in continuous operation since 1654) however, the original café closed in 1872 and the space was used in various ways before 1957, when the current incarnation (not a café but a restaurant) was opened; so the claim of "oldest café in continuous operation" is not supported. Background Procopio Cutò first apprenticed under the leadership of an Armenian immigrant named Pascal who had a kiosk (', ) on rue de Tournon selling refreshmen ...

Apheresis
Apheresis ( ἀφαίρεσις (''aphairesis'', "a taking away")) is a medical technology in which the blood of a person is passed through an apparatus that separates one particular constituent and returns the remainder to the circulation. It is thus an extracorporeal therapy. One of the uses of apheresis is for collecting hematopoietic stem cells. Method Depending on the substance that is being removed, different processes are employed in apheresis. If separation by density is required, centrifugation is the most common method. Other methods involve absorption onto beads coated with an absorbent material and filtration. The centrifugation method can be divided into two basic categories: Continuous flow centrifugation Continuous flow centrifugation (CFC) historically required two venipunctures , as "continuous" means the blood is collected, spun, and returned simultaneously. Newer systems can operate with a single venipuncture by collecting blood in a vessel an ...
