The Fick principle states that blood flow to an organ can be calculated using a marker substance if the following information is known: Amount of marker substance taken up by the organ per unit time; Concentration of marker substance in arterial blood supplying the organ; Concentration of marker substance in venous blood leaving the organ
This would seem to support case studies reporting acrocyanosis as an unusual side effect for pediatric patients taking tricyclic antidepressants, as these medications can inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and thus increase their blood concentrations. [9] Acrocyanosis has been reported in association with many other medications and substances. [1]
Blood resistance varies depending on blood viscosity and its plugged flow (or sheath flow since they are complementary across the vessel section) size as well, and on the size of the vessels. Assuming steady, laminar flow in the vessel, the blood vessels behavior is similar to that of a pipe.
A primary alcohol is an alcohol in which the hydroxy group is bonded to a primary carbon atom. It can also be defined as a molecule containing a “–CH 2 OH” group. [ 1 ] In contrast, a secondary alcohol has a formula “–CHROH” and a tertiary alcohol has a formula “–CR 2 OH”, where “R” indicates a carbon-containing group.
In the body, bubbles may be located within tissues or carried along with the bloodstream. The speed of blood flow within a blood vessel and the rate of delivery of blood to capillaries are the main factors that determine whether dissolved gas is taken up by tissue bubbles or circulation bubbles for bubble growth.

Pascal Le Segretain/Marc Piasecki/Taylor Hill/Getty Images. Yes, yes and yes. ‘90s hair is having its moment—from ‘The Rachel,’ to ‘The Bixie’—so it’s no surprise that flipped ends ...
In 1983, Slogoff and colleagues reviewed 1,782 radial artery cannulations and found that 25% of them resulted in complete radial artery occlusion, without apparent adverse effects. [5] A number of reports have been published in which permanent ischemic sequelae occurred even in the presence of a normal Allen's test.
Authorities have identified the man who assaulted and killed a Washington woman 36 years ago, and they used DNA to solve the case. Fishermen found a body on Aug. 28, 1988, according to the Pierce ...
