A method for determining inert gas ("N2") solubility in urine.

چکیده
The present interest in the physiology of inert gases makes desirable a more accurate and reproducible method for determining the inert gas content of biological fluids than is currently available (2). This communication describes such a method. The method has been tested on water and used to determine the solubility of the inert gas of air in human urines of different solute concentrations at 370 C.1 Empirical relationships of solubility to osmolality, chloride concentration, and specific gravity are given. Preliminary studies indicate that the method can also be applied to blood. Another communication (3) will describe the method's application to human urine in a manner believed to enable the calculation of the inert gas tension of arterial blood within + 2 mm Hg.

Pulmonary gas-exchange analysis by using simultaneous deposition of aerosolized and injected microspheres.
Numerical methods for determining end-capillary gas contents for ventilation-to-perfusion ratios were first developed in the late 1960s. In the 1970s these methods were applied to validate distributions of ventilation-to-perfusion ratios measured by the multiple inert-gas-elimination technique. We combined numerical gas analysis and fluorescent-microsphere measurements of ventilation and perfus...
متن کاملGas Permeation Modeling through a Multilayer Hollow Fiber Composite Membrane
In this study, a time-dependent 2D axisymmetric model of a multilayer hollow fiber composite membrane for gas separation is proposed. In spite of the common multilayer membranes, which a dense layer coated on a porous support layer and subjected into the feed stream, here, the porous support is exposed to the feed gas. In this regard, the governing equations of species transport are developed f...
متن کاملDevelopment of Al-Ti-N Composite Coatings on Commercially Pure Ti Surface by Tungsten Inert Gas Process
The present work aims to modify surface properties of pure Ti by development of Ti-Al-N intermetallic composite coatings. In this regard, tungsten inert gas (TIG) cladding process was carried out using Al 1100 as filler rod with Ar and Ar+N2 as shielding gases. Phase and structure of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electro...
متن کاملNitrogen solubility in odontocete blubber and mandibular fats in relation to lipid composition.
Understanding toothed whale (odontocete) diving gas dynamics is important given the recent atypical mass strandings of odontocetes (particularly beaked whales) associated with mid-frequency naval sonar. Some stranded whales have exhibited gas emboli (pathologies resembling decompression sickness) in their specialized intramandibular and extramandibular fat bodies used for echolocation and heari...
متن کاملContribution of multiple inert gas elimination technique to pulmonary medicine. 1. Principles and information content of the multiple inert gas elimination technique.
This introductory review summarises four different aspects of the multiple inert gas elimination technique (MIGET). Firstly, the historical background that facilitated, in the mid 1970s, the development of the MIGET as a tool to obtain more information about the entire spectrum of VA/Q distribution in the lung by measuring the exchange of six gases of different solubility in trace concentration...
