Oxygen Pathology and Oxygen-Functional Materials for Therapeutics

Density functional theory study the effects of oxygen-containing functional groups on oxygen molecules and oxygen atoms adsorbed on carbonaceous materials

Density functional theory was used to study the effects of different types of oxygen-containing functional groups on the adsorption of oxygen molecules and single active oxygen atoms on carbonaceous materials. During gasification or combustion reactions of carbonaceous materials, oxygen-containing functional groups such as hydroxyl(-OH), carbonyl(-CO), quinone(-O), and carboxyl(-COOH) are often...

Oxygen sensors: Materials, methods, designs and applications

Advancement of gas sensor technology over the past few decades has led to significant progress in pollution control and thereby, to environmental protection. An excellent example is the control of automobile exhaust emissions, made possible by the use of oxygen gas sensors. Since early 1970’s there have been sustained studies on oxygen sensors and has led to development of sensors for various a...

Evaluation of adherence to oxygen therapy standards before, during and after oxygen hood administration

Background and Purpose: Oxygen therapy is one of the common treatments for neonates with cardiopulmonary disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate adherence to oxygen therapy standards by nurses before, during and after using oxygen hood. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 250 cases of nursing care were evaluated before, during and after administration of oxygen hood therapy in pre...

Oxygen Generating Materials for Retaining Muscle Morphology and Function

Introduction Loss of functional skeletal muscle due to congenital and acquired conditions produces a physiological deficit for which there is still no effective clinical treatment. Tissue engineering of skeletal muscle in vitro for functional tissue replacement in vivo may provide a potential therapeutic solution to this unmet medical need. One major limiting factor to this approach is that ske...
