Muscle immobilization or paralysis, the complete loss of muscle function for one or more muscle groups; Trauma immobilization with spinal board designed to provide rigid support during movement of a person with suspected spinal or limb injuries; Sedentary lifestyle, voluntary immobility in which one is physically inactive
Immobilization is the opposite of mineralization. In immobilization, inorganic nutrients are taken up by soil microbes and become unavailable for plant uptake. [2] Immobilization is therefore a biological process controlled by bacteria [3] that consume inorganic nitrogen and form amino acids and biological macromolecules (organic forms). [4]
Affinity-tag binding: is an immobilization method combining physical, and chemical methods where enzymes may be immobilized to a surface, e.g. in a porous material, using non-covalent or covalent Protein tags. This technology has been established for protein purification purposes.
Spinal precautions, also known as spinal immobilization and spinal motion restriction, are efforts to prevent movement of the bones of the spine in those with a risk of a spine injury. [1] This is done as an effort to prevent injury to the spinal cord [ 1 ] in unstable spinal fractures . [ 2 ]
The cast restricts wrist movement while allowing elbow mobility, providing a balance between immobilization and functionality. In some cases, a thumb spica variant is added to include the thumb in immobilization, such as for scaphoid fractures or severe thumb sprains. Proper fit and careful alignment are critical to ensure effective healing and ...
Notwithstanding all these desirable characteristic features of enzymes, their widespread industrial application is often hampered by their lack of long term operational stability and shelf-storage life, as well as by their cumbersome recovery and re-use. These drawbacks can be generally overcome by enzyme immobilization.
Immobilization should remain in place until movement of the head and neck is proven safe. In the presence of severe head trauma, cervical fracture must be presumed until ruled out. Immobilization is imperative to minimize or prevent further spinal cord injury. The only exceptions are when there is imminent danger from an external cause, such as ...
The immobilized whole cell system is an alternative to enzyme immobilization.Unlike enzyme immobilization, where the enzyme is attached to a solid support (such as calcium alginate or activated PVA or activated PEI), in immobilized whole cell systems, the target cell is immobilized.
