Que signifca la palabra aférisis?

Question

Your help is appreciated.

I added the tilde above the "e" as you requested. However, I do not think this is the correct spelling. Can you check the spelling please. - Nicole-B, Oct 7, 2009

Answer 1

It can refer to a method used for blood donation where one component of blood is separated (plasma, platelets, etc) and the rest returned to the donor. It allows a person to donate more frequently that if they had donated whole blood. http://www.galiciavirtual.net/donantessangre/aferesis.htm

Barrettn - Nice hunting. Isn't that an interesting "other use" of the same word, "aféresis". - Moe, Oct 7, 2009

Answer 2

Try this page from Wikipedia if you think "aphesis" or
"aphaeresis" is the word you are looking for.

Also see this entry in the Span¡shD!ct.com dictionary. This is what was referred to by Heidita in her entry in the post "I can't come tomorrow" which can be found here.
