Factors influencing the deposition of inhaled particles. (1/263)
Because the initial deposition pattern of inhaled particles of various toxic agents determines their future clearance and insult to tissue, respiratory tract deposition is important in assessing the potential toxicity of inhaled aerosols. Factors influencing the deposition of inhaled particles can be classified into three main areas: (1) the physics of aerosols, (2) the anatomy of the respiratory tract and (3) the airflow patterns in the lung airways. In the physics of aerosols, the forces acting on a particle and its physical and chemical properties, such as particle size or size distribution, density, shape, hygroscopic or hydrophobic character, and chemical reactions of the particle will affect the deposition. With respect to the anatomy of the respiratory tract, important parameters are the diameters, the lengths, and the branching angles of airway segments, which determine the deposition. Physiological factors include airflow and breathing patterns, which influence particle deposition. Various lung models used in predicting particle deposition are reviewed and discussed. The air-way structures of various animal species are compared, showing the unique structure of the human lung compared to the animal species under study. Regional deposition data in man and dog are reviewed. Recent deposition data for small rodents are presented, showing regional difference in deposition with the right apical lobe having the highest relative deposition. (+info)Plasma jet takes off. (2/263)
Thanks to a series of joint research projects by Los Alamos National Laboratory, Beta Squared of Allen, Texas, and the University of California at Los Angeles, there is now a more environmentally sound method for cleaning semiconductor chips that may also be effective in cleaning up chemical, bacterial, and nuclear contaminants. The Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet uses a type of ionized gas called plasma to clean up contaminants by binding to them and lifting them away. In contrast to the corrosive acids and chemical solvents traditionally used to clean semiconductor chips, the jet oxidizes contaminants, producing only benign gaseous by-products such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. The new technology is also easy to transport, cleans thoroughly and quickly, and presents no hazards to its operators. (+info)Single molecule physics and chemistry. (3/263)
New experiments using scanning probe microcopies and advanced optical methods allow us to study molecules as individuals, not just as populations. The findings of these studies not only include the confirmation of results expected from studies of bulk matter, but also give substantially new information concerning the complexity of biomolecules or molecules in a structured environment. The technique lays the groundwork for achieving the control of an individual molecule's motion. Ultimately, this work may lead to such practical applications as miniaturized sensors. (+info)The original presentation of Boyle's law. (4/263)
The original presentation of what we know as Boyle's law has several interesting features. First, the technical difficulties of the experiment were considerable, because Boyle used a glass tube full of mercury that was nearly 2.5 m long, and the large pressures sometimes shattered the glass. Next, Boyle's table of results contains extremely awkward fractions, such 10/13, 2/17, 13/19, and 18/23, which look very strange to us today. This was because he calculated the pressure for a certain volume of gas by using simple multiplication and division, keeping the vulgar fractions. Boyle was not able to express the numbers as decimals because this notation was not in common use at the time. Finally, his contention that pressure and volume were inversely related depended on the reader's comparing two sets of numbers in adjacent columns to see how well they agreed. Today we would plot the data, but again orthogonal graphs were not in general use in 1662. When Boyle's data are plotted by using modern conventional methods, they strongly support his hypothesis that the volume and pressure of a gas are inversely related. (+info)Low-energy, Q-switched ruby laser iridotomies in Macaca mulatta. (5/263)
Laser iridotomies have been pursued as a means of performing anterior segments surgery as a virtually noninvasive procedure. An ideal single laser pulse technique has been elusive. In this study, iridotomies in rhesus monkeys were produced with a single exposure to a Q-switched ruby laser pulse. The iridotomy formation was accompanied by acoustic wave generation, bubble formation, and explosive tissue disruption, evidence of a nonlinear laser-iris interaction. The average energies at which these iridotomies were produced ranged between 18 and 48 mJ, some of the lowest energies reported for a laser iridotomy. Corneal changes were observed both at the epithelium and at the endothelium in some, but not all, of the eyes exposed. The epithelial changes morphologically resembled nonlinear damage reported for transparent solids. Damage to physical materials has been attributed to stimulated Brillouin scattering, a mechanism that may also play a role at the cornea. Consideration of such phenomena should be a part of the clinical evaluation prior to exposure of a cornea to high-power laser pulses. Although the endothelial change was more difficult to analyze, a shock-wave effect could not be discounted. (+info)On the use of computational fluid dynamics in the prediction and control of exposure to airborne contaminants-an illustration using spray painting. (6/263)
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to simulate breathing-zone concentration for a simple representation of spray painting a flat plate in a cross-flow ventilated booth. The results demonstrate the capability of CFD to track correctly changes in breathing-zone concentration associated with work practices shown previously to be significant in determining exposure. Empirical data, and models verified through field studies, are used to examine the predictive capability of these simulations and to identify important issues in the conduct of such comparisons. A commercially available CFD package is used to solve a three-dimensional turbulent flow problem for the velocity field, and to subsequently generate particle trajectories for polydisperse aerosols. An in-house algorithm is developed to convert the trajectory data to breathing-zone concentrations, transfer efficiencies and aerosol size distributions. The mesh size, time step, duration of the simulation, and number of particles per size interval are all important variables in achieving convergent results. (+info)Computational fluid dynamics as a method for assessing fume cupboard performance. (7/263)
A commercially available computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software program, specific for HVAC systems, was used to study the performance of an aerodynamic fume cupboard. The numerical results showed good qualitative agreement with physical measurements giving confidence in the CFD model to simulate and predict overall fume cupboard performance. However, there were some quantitative differences specifically around 'aerodynamic' features that could not be accurately simulated by the software code. The CFD model was clearly able to demonstrate differences in performance between good and bad cupboard designs, and show the importance of using rear baffles and lipfoils. It also showed the importance of good design features when a 'worker' was standing against the front edge or when there were draughts in front of the aperture. The computer model was used to simulate the gas tracer containment test method described in BS 7258 (1994) [Laboratory Fume Cupboards], and had a much greater sensitivity than the recommended physical measuring instruments. The results given in this paper demonstrate the potential for using a commercially available software package for the optimisation of fume cupboard design and testing. It also indicates the economy of using CFD compared with building a prototype and testing a model. (+info)Contaminant dispersion in the vicinity of a worker in a uniform velocity field. (8/263)
The transportation of gaseous contaminant from a low and moderate low impulse (momentum<1 m s(-1)) source to the breathing zone was studied in a uniform air stream flow. Results of the effects of the direction and the velocity of principal air flow, convection due to a human body, arm movement of a human being and the type of source on the concentration profiles are presented. Three important results were obtained. Firstly, for a given low and moderate impulse low impulse contaminant source in the near field of a worker, his/her orientation relative to the principal air flow direction is the most important factor in reducing occupational exposure, with an air velocity of about 0.3 m s(-1). Secondly, the effect of convection resulting from body heat on air flow was lower than expected. Thirdly, arm movements influence contaminant dispersion, and should be included when models assessing exposure are developed. The present data can also be used to validate existing computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models. (+info)I'm sorry for any confusion, but "physics" is not a term that has a medical definition. Physics is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter, energy, and their interactions. It may be studied in the context of medical physics, which involves the application of physical principles to medicine, such as in the use of radiation therapy for cancer treatment or imaging techniques like MRI and CT scans. However, "physics" itself is not a medical term with a specific definition within the field of medicine.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "nuclear physics" is not a term that has a medical definition. Nuclear physics is a branch of physics that deals with the properties and behavior of atomic nuclei, including their composition, structure, and reactions. It is studied in order to better understand the nature of matter and energy, and it has important applications in fields such as nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and nuclear weapons. However, it is not a term that is used in the context of medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have any questions about a medical term or concept, I would be happy to try to help!
Health physics is a branch of physics that deals with the applications of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in medicine, industry, and research, with the primary focus on protecting people and the environment from potential radiation hazards. It involves the assessment, measurement, and control of radiation doses to ensure that exposures are kept below established limits, as well as the development and implementation of safety procedures and regulations. Health physicists may also be involved in radiation therapy, diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine, and other fields where radiation is used for beneficial purposes.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "physical phenomena" is not a term typically used in medical definitions. It is a broader term that refers to observable events or processes in the natural world that can be explained by physical laws and principles. This might include things like gravity, electromagnetism, or motion.
If you're looking for medical definitions related to physical phenomena, you might consider terms like "physical examination," which refers to the process of evaluating a patient's health status using observation, palpation, percussion, and auscultation to assess various body systems. Or, you might consider "physiological response," which refers to the body's natural reaction to a stimulus or change in environment.
If you meant something different by "physical phenomena" in a medical context, could you please provide more context or clarify your question? I'm here to help!
Biology is the scientific study of living organisms and their vital processes. It deals with the characteristics, classification, and behaviors of plants, animals, and microorganisms, as well as how they interact with each other and the environment. Biology covers a wide range of topics, including genetics, cell biology, evolution, ecology, and physiology. The goal of biological research is to understand the fundamental principles that govern the functioning of living systems and to apply this knowledge to improve human health, agriculture, and the environment.
I am not aware of a specific medical definition for "Jatropha." Jatropha is a genus of plants in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. Some species of Jatropha are used in traditional medicine in various parts of the world, but there is no widely accepted or established medical definition for the term.
In a broader sense, if you're referring to a medical aspect related to Jatropha plants, it might be about the pharmacological properties, toxicity, or potential uses of certain species in traditional medicine. For instance, Jatropha curcas, one of the most commonly known species, has been used in traditional medicine for treating various conditions such as wounds, diarrhea, and skin diseases. However, it also contains toxic compounds that can cause adverse effects if not properly prepared or administered.
If you're looking for specific pharmacological or medicinal information about Jatropha, I would recommend consulting scientific literature or medical resources related to the particular species and its traditional or modern uses.
In the context of medicine, physical processes refer to the mechanical, physiological, and biochemical functions and changes that occur within the body. These processes encompass various systems and components, including:
1. Cellular processes: The functions and interactions of cells, such as metabolism, signaling, replication, and protein synthesis.
2. Tissue processes: The development, maintenance, repair, and regeneration of various tissues in the body, like muscle, bone, and nerve tissues.
3. Organ systems processes: The functioning of different organ systems, such as the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels), respiratory system (lungs), digestive system (stomach, intestines), nervous system (brain, spinal cord), endocrine system (glands and hormones), renal system (kidneys), and reproductive system.
4. Biomechanical processes: The physical forces and movements that affect the body, such as muscle contractions, joint motion, and bodily mechanics during exercise or injury.
5. Homeostatic processes: The maintenance of a stable internal environment within the body, despite external changes, through various regulatory mechanisms, like temperature control, fluid balance, and pH regulation.
6. Pathophysiological processes: The dysfunctional or abnormal physical processes that occur during diseases or medical conditions, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, cell death, or tissue degeneration.
Understanding these physical processes is crucial for diagnosing and treating various medical conditions, as well as promoting overall health and well-being.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but the term "Nobel Prize" is not a medical definition. The Nobel Prize is an international award given annually in several categories, and one of those categories is physiology or medicine. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded to individuals who have made significant discoveries of outstanding importance in the fields of life sciences and medicine. It is one of the most prestigious awards in these fields.
Elementary particles are the fundamental building blocks that make up all matter and energy in the universe. They are called "elementary" because they cannot be broken down into smaller, simpler components. According to our current understanding of particle physics, there are two main types of elementary particles: fermions and bosons.
Fermions include quarks and leptons, which make up matter. There are six types of each, known as flavors: up and down quarks, charm and strange quarks, top and bottom quarks, and electron, muon, and tau leptons (also called "electron-type," "muon-type," and "tau-type" leptons). Each fermion also has an associated antiparticle.
Bosons are the force carriers that mediate the fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. These include the photon (which carries the electromagnetic force), the gluon (which carries the strong nuclear force), and the W and Z bosons (which carry the weak nuclear force). The Higgs boson is also a type of boson, associated with the Higgs field that gives other particles their mass.
It's important to note that our understanding of elementary particles and their properties is still evolving, as new experiments and theories continue to shape our knowledge of the universe's smallest constituents.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Interdisciplinary Studies" is not a medical term. It is a term used in education and research to describe the approach that involves two or more academic disciplines in order to broaden understanding, improve problem-solving, and enhance innovation. This approach is used in various fields including social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and engineering.
In a medical context, interdisciplinary studies might refer to a collaborative approach to patient care that involves healthcare professionals from different disciplines (such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, etc.) working together to provide comprehensive and coordinated care for patients with complex medical conditions. This type of collaboration can lead to improved patient outcomes, increased patient satisfaction, and more efficient use of healthcare resources.
The term "Theoretical Models" is used in various scientific fields, including medicine, to describe a representation of a complex system or phenomenon. It is a simplified framework that explains how different components of the system interact with each other and how they contribute to the overall behavior of the system. Theoretical models are often used in medical research to understand and predict the outcomes of diseases, treatments, or public health interventions.
A theoretical model can take many forms, such as mathematical equations, computer simulations, or conceptual diagrams. It is based on a set of assumptions and hypotheses about the underlying mechanisms that drive the system. By manipulating these variables and observing the effects on the model's output, researchers can test their assumptions and generate new insights into the system's behavior.
Theoretical models are useful for medical research because they allow scientists to explore complex systems in a controlled and systematic way. They can help identify key drivers of disease or treatment outcomes, inform the design of clinical trials, and guide the development of new interventions. However, it is important to recognize that theoretical models are simplifications of reality and may not capture all the nuances and complexities of real-world systems. Therefore, they should be used in conjunction with other forms of evidence, such as experimental data and observational studies, to inform medical decision-making.
Biophysics is a interdisciplinary field that combines the principles and methods of physics with those of biology to study biological systems and phenomena. It involves the use of physical theories, models, and techniques to understand and explain the properties, functions, and behaviors of living organisms and their constituents, such as cells, proteins, and DNA.
Biophysics can be applied to various areas of biology, including molecular biology, cell biology, neuroscience, and physiology. It can help elucidate the mechanisms of biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels, such as protein folding, ion transport, enzyme kinetics, gene expression, and signal transduction. Biophysical methods can also be used to develop diagnostic and therapeutic tools for medical applications, such as medical imaging, drug delivery, and gene therapy.
Examples of biophysical techniques include X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and computational modeling. These methods allow researchers to probe the structure, dynamics, and interactions of biological molecules and systems with high precision and resolution, providing insights into their functions and behaviors.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Quantum Theory" is not a term that is typically used in medical definitions. Quantum theory, also known as quantum mechanics, is a branch of physics that deals with phenomena on a very small scale, such as molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles like electrons and photons (which are particles of light).
Quantum theory introduces the concept of wave-particle duality, where particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. It also includes principles like superposition, which suggests that a physical system—such as an electron in an atom—can exist in multiple states or places at the same time until it is measured.
While quantum mechanics has had profound implications for our understanding of the physical world, its concepts are not directly applicable to medical definitions or human health. If you have any questions related to medicine or health, I'd be happy to help with those instead!
Radiologic technology is a medical term that refers to the use of imaging technologies to diagnose and treat diseases. It involves the application of various forms of radiation, such as X-rays, magnetic fields, sound waves, and radioactive substances, to create detailed images of the internal structures of the body.
Radiologic technologists are healthcare professionals who operate the imaging equipment and work closely with radiologists, who are medical doctors specializing in interpreting medical images. Radiologic technology includes various imaging modalities such as:
1. X-ray radiography: produces images of internal structures by passing X-rays through the body onto a detector.
2. Computed tomography (CT): uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body.
3. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of internal structures without using radiation.
4. Ultrasound: uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal structures, such as fetuses during pregnancy or organs like the heart and liver.
5. Nuclear medicine: uses small amounts of radioactive substances to diagnose and treat diseases by creating detailed images of the body's internal structures and functions.
Radiologic technology plays a crucial role in modern medicine, enabling healthcare providers to make accurate diagnoses, plan treatments, and monitor patient progress.
Radiation oncology is a branch of medicine that uses ionizing radiation in the treatment and management of cancer. The goal of radiation therapy, which is the primary treatment modality in radiation oncology, is to destroy cancer cells or inhibit their growth while minimizing damage to normal tissues. This is achieved through the use of high-energy radiation beams, such as X-rays, gamma rays, and charged particles, that are directed at the tumor site with precision. Radiation oncologists work in interdisciplinary teams with other healthcare professionals, including medical physicists, dosimetrists, and radiation therapists, to plan and deliver effective radiation treatments for cancer patients.
Astronomy is not a medical term, but rather it is a branch of science that deals with the study of celestial objects, phenomena, and processes outside the Earth's atmosphere. It involves observing stars, planets, galaxies, and other cosmic entities, and using physical laws to understand their properties and behavior.
Therefore, there is no medical definition for astronomy. However, it is worth noting that some areas of astronomy may have applications in medicine, such as the use of medical imaging techniques that were developed based on principles used in radio astronomy.
"Natural science disciplines" is a broad term that refers to various branches of scientific study focused on understanding, describing, and explaining natural phenomena. These disciplines use systematic observation, experimentation, and evidence-based approaches to investigate the properties and behaviors of natural entities and systems. Some prominent natural science disciplines include:
1. Physics: The study of matter, energy, and their interactions, including mechanics, electricity, magnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum physics.
2. Chemistry: The investigation of the composition, structure, properties, and transformation of matter, encompassing areas such as organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry.
3. Biology: The examination of living organisms, their structures, functions, processes, interactions, and evolution, covering topics like genetics, cellular biology, molecular biology, physiology, ecology, and evolution.
4. Geology: The study of Earth's materials, processes, and history, including mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, stratigraphy, structural geology, and paleontology.
5. Astronomy: The scientific exploration of celestial objects, phenomena, and the universe beyond Earth, incorporating areas such as astrophysics, planetary science, and cosmology.
These disciplines often overlap and inform one another, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the natural world.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Science" is a broad field that refers to a systematic and logical process used to discover how things in the universe work. It's not typically used as a medical term. However, within the context of medicine, "science" often refers to evidence-based practices, which are treatments and preventions that have been scientifically researched and proven to be effective. This could include areas like pharmacology (the study of drugs), pathophysiology (the study of changes in the body due to disease), or clinical trials (studies used to test new treatments). If you're looking for a specific medical term, could you please provide more context?
'Equipment and Supplies' is a term used in the medical field to refer to the physical items and materials needed for medical care, treatment, and procedures. These can include a wide range of items, such as:
* Medical equipment: This includes devices and machines used for diagnostic, monitoring, or therapeutic purposes, such as stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors, EKG machines, ventilators, and infusion pumps.
* Medical supplies: These are consumable items that are used once and then discarded, such as syringes, needles, bandages, gowns, gloves, and face masks.
* Furniture and fixtures: This includes items such as hospital beds, examination tables, chairs, and cabinets that are used to create a functional medical space.
Having the right equipment and supplies is essential for providing safe and effective medical care. The specific items needed will depend on the type of medical practice or facility, as well as the needs of individual patients.
Biological models, also known as physiological models or organismal models, are simplified representations of biological systems, processes, or mechanisms that are used to understand and explain the underlying principles and relationships. These models can be theoretical (conceptual or mathematical) or physical (such as anatomical models, cell cultures, or animal models). They are widely used in biomedical research to study various phenomena, including disease pathophysiology, drug action, and therapeutic interventions.
Examples of biological models include:
1. Mathematical models: These use mathematical equations and formulas to describe complex biological systems or processes, such as population dynamics, metabolic pathways, or gene regulation networks. They can help predict the behavior of these systems under different conditions and test hypotheses about their underlying mechanisms.
2. Cell cultures: These are collections of cells grown in a controlled environment, typically in a laboratory dish or flask. They can be used to study cellular processes, such as signal transduction, gene expression, or metabolism, and to test the effects of drugs or other treatments on these processes.
3. Animal models: These are living organisms, usually vertebrates like mice, rats, or non-human primates, that are used to study various aspects of human biology and disease. They can provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of diseases, the mechanisms of drug action, and the safety and efficacy of new therapies.
4. Anatomical models: These are physical representations of biological structures or systems, such as plastic models of organs or tissues, that can be used for educational purposes or to plan surgical procedures. They can also serve as a basis for developing more sophisticated models, such as computer simulations or 3D-printed replicas.
Overall, biological models play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of biology and medicine, helping to identify new targets for therapeutic intervention, develop novel drugs and treatments, and improve human health.
I am not aware of a specific medical definition for the term "engineering." However, in general, engineering refers to the application of scientific and mathematical principles to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, and solutions. This can include various disciplines such as biomedical engineering, which involves applying engineering principles to medicine and healthcare.
Biomedical engineering combines knowledge from fields like mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, chemistry, and materials science with medical and biological sciences to develop solutions for healthcare challenges. Biomedical engineers design and develop medical devices, artificial organs, imaging systems, biocompatible materials, and other technologies used in medical treatments and diagnostics.
In summary, while there is no specific medical definition for "engineering," the term can refer to various disciplines that apply scientific and mathematical principles to solve problems related to healthcare and medicine.
