Biology and Physics of Peloids

چکیده
PELOIDS CONSIST OF humus and minerals formed over a very long period by physical, chemical, biologic, and geologic processes. They are used in treatment either in their natural state or after fermentation. They are applied as poultices or in the forms of baths. They are sometimes used internally. Of the many classification proposed, we shall discuss only the more important ones: humolites and muds. In humolites, organic matter, especially humus components, predominates.

Glauconite and phosphate peloids in Mesozoic carbonate sediments (Eastern Subbetic Zone, Betic Cordilleras, SE Spain)
AB STRACT: Glauconite and Ca phosphate peloids occur in Jurassic and Cretaceous bioclastic carbonate rocks from pelagic swell sequences of the Algayat-Crevillente Unit (Subbetic Zone). The size and morphology of the peloids are controlled by the bioclasts. The glauconite in both stratigraphic positions is K rich (>0.69 atoms p.f.u.) and shows well-defined 10 AÊ lattice fringes. Poorly crystalli...
متن کاملThermal Properties of Some Turkish Peloids and Clay Minerals for Their Use in Pelotherapy
The thermal properties such as specific heat capacity and heat dissipation of peloids play an important role in therapeutic applications. Therefore, these properties were determined on the peloids samples taken from spas where peloid applications are used in Turkey. In addition, some pure clay minerals were investigated to determine their suitability as possible constituents of therapeutic pelo...
متن کاملStromatolite reef crusts, Early Cretaceous, Spain: bacterial origin of in situ-precipitated peloid microspar?
Peloidal crusts are significant components of Early Cretaceous (Aptian) reef carbonates in eastern Spain. The crusts form steep-sided laminated deposits on coral and other skeletal surfaces. Their microfabric consists almost entirely of silt-sized peloids in fenestral microspar matrix. This microfabric contrasts with more poorly sorted and generally finer grained detrital wackestone– packstone ...
متن کاملInduction of cancer stem-like cells in A549 cells after exposure to carbon ions and X-rays
Background: Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) play a crucial role in the initiation, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Evidence indicates that the high linear energy transfer (LET) carbon ion beam is more effective against CSCs than the conventional X-ray beam. Carbon ion radiotherapy is considered as a promising cancer strategy, however, information about whether, or not, new CSCs are induced...
متن کاملEffects of Rusanda Spa balneotherapy combined with calcipotriol on plaque psoriasis.
BACKGROUND/AIM Treatment of psoriasis is very complex and there are no still universal, nor unique treatment modalities. Apart from conventional treatment, which includes topical calcipotriol (vitamin D3 analogue), balneotherapy is drawing increased attention worldwide. Being part of climatotherapy, balneotherapy is defined as the use of natural environmental factors in the treatment of health ...
