Essays on Hyperthermia

Abstract

The study of tiny particles and their applications have emerged as an important area of research in recent years. In particular, magnetic nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention due to their unique properties that make the particles useful in numerous applications. Accordingly, the present review investigates the synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles. The introduction section examines recent advances in nanotechnology and explains the significance of magnetic nanoparticles in scientific research. The section on results and discussion presents the findings of various researchers with a focus on the magnetic properties, synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles. ...

Multiple Choice Questions

Increased erythropoietin production Increased heart rate Increased cardiac output Enhancement in oxygen extraction The answer for this question is b. increased heart rate. A reduction in tissue oxygenation as happens in anemia stimulates increased production of erythropoietin through a complex feedback mechanism. Increased production of erythropoietin enhances erythropoiesis in anemia. Increased extraction of oxygen in anemia is a compensatory mechanism that is mediated by an increase in 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate concentrations. Increased cardiac output is the main hemodynamic compensatory mechanism in anemia that aims to increase blood flow to the body organs. An increase in heart rate ...

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a quite rare disorder of skeletal muscle that causes a patient’s body to respond to general anesthesia with very fast heart rate, hypermetabolism, contractions and rigidity of muscles and in many cases fever that can be over 100 degrees followed by rhabdomyolysis, which is a severe form of myopathy, destruction of certain body chemicals and increase of amount of acid in blood (“General MH questions,” n.d.). This list in non-exhaustive, and the damage experienced by a patient can affect brain, muscles and the most important organs. The complications of the disease can include failure ...

Q.1 The condensation occurs due to change in temperature that causes the air to lose the ability to hold water vapor. Resultantly, the water liquefies, and appears as moisture around the bottle or cane filled with some sort of liquid. In July, the area of Tucson experiences difference in air temperature and the warmth dies out as air rises to higher altitudes with the passage of time, so the gaseous form of water takes the shape of liquid because the atmosphere lacks the power to hold the water vapor. Q.2 The air that is present at ...

Introduction

MDMA (3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is commonly referred to as “ecstasy” or “molly”. In recent years, this substance has gained a lot of popularity; and has become the drug of choice for recreational purposes among the adolescents and the adults. Beneath the widespread popularity of the drug, there is a belief that it is a safe drug with no toxicity, but this is not the case. Individuals who take MDMA often report that it gives them a sense of euphoria, minimal or no inhibitions, or increased sensuality (Hahn, 2013). The drug has various psychoactive properties that can make an individual addictive to its use. The ...

Role of the integumentary system in protecting the body

Introduction Human body, like all higher order vertebrates, relies on multiple organ systems for maintenance of homeostasis, the integumentary system is but one of them. Anatomically, the integumentary system has two components :the cutaneous membrane(the skin) and its accessory structures. The skin comprises of the dermis and epidermis whereas the later include hair, nails, and exocrine glands located in the dermis. Interestingly, both the cutaneous and accessory structures share a common embryological origin: The ectoderm (Martini 2005, p.151). With respect to functioning, the skin is involved in a variety of physiologic functions, the most obvious being protection of the ...

Marijuana use by teenagers in the 10th and 12th grade increased from 14.2% and 18.8% in 2007 to 17.0% and 22.9% in 2012 respectively. A continued abuse of prescription and OTC drugs also continued to rise, especially on the use stimulants and pain relievers. While marijuana and medical drugs showed consistent and, other times, escalating use, other drugs of abuse such as inhalants, cocaine and MDMA (ecstasy) decreased in all. Alcohol use among teenagers, on the other hand, showed a slight increase in 2012. Cigarettes, though peaked around 1997, continued to decrease until now. Both cigarettes (17.1%) and marijuana (22.9%) ...
