A technique for evaluating expired air mixing devices.
A simple method for measuring the efficiency of expired air mixing devices is described. Preliminary studies comparing a number of mixing chambers indicate that the bag-inbottle system is the most efficient. The dependence of mixing efficiency on VT, f and expired flow rate is demonstrated. Two types of mixing failure are distinguished. The clinical implications are discussed, including those r...
متن کاملIsoprene from expired air inside a private car.
The concentration of isoprene inside a small-sized parked private car with one person was found to be of the order of 20 micrograms/m3. Isoprene was then the major non-methane volatile hydrocarbon except in strongly traffic-polluted parking places. On driving, with intermediate fan ventilation, the isoprene levels were one order of magnitude lower. In the empty car, the concentrations were stil...
متن کاملA simple method of carbon dioxide estimation in expired air.
A SIMPLE method for the estimation of carbon dioxide in air or gas mixtures containing anaesthetic gases finds many applications in the investigation of anaesthetic problems and in the control of artificial respiration by mechanical respirators. This adaptation of already established techniques utilizes apparatus which may be found in most hospitals. It is rapid, and can be performed at the bed...

NANOTECHNOLOGY is an expanding field that involves the manipulation of materials practically on an atomic scale. The properties of materials at the nano (10-9 meter) scale are different than what has been traditionally documented; the laws of quantum physics take over. This technological revolution has created exciting new opportunities in fields such as medicine, dentistry, materials science, ...
متن کاملEvaluating devices for treating epilepsy.
PURPOSE Research into new implantable devices for treating epilepsy is expanding rapidly. Pilot studies suggest sufficient safety and potential efficacy to justify proceeding with larger scale clinical trials. Understanding the challenges presented by these trials, the testing and approval process for implantable devices, and how these differ from requirements for antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is ...
