there is a new technique to measure total body water named bio-electrical impedance analysis (bia), used in healthy subjects and patients. bia determines the total body water (tbw), fat-free mass (ffm), body cell mass (bcm), extra cellular water (ecw), and intra cellular water (icw) in subjects without significant fluid and electrolyte imbalance. there are several methods such as segmental bia,...

T2D TDNMR data is used to improve the assignment of the location of water in in-vitro pig skin. Whilst the corresponding 1d experiments report broad distributions of T2 and D respectively, two water components are resolved in the T2D data and are assigned as intraand extra-cellular water by considering the peak intensities in; whole defatted skin, a dermatomed slice of the top 0.4mm (mostly epi...

P1 A T2D TDNMR Study of Skin Julian Bent 1, Joanna Lee 1, Nikki Carpenter 1, Tim Benson 2 1 Unilever Research Colworth, 2 Advanced Magnetics Resonance Ltd. T2D TDNMR data is used to improve the assignment of the location of water in in-vitro pig skin. Whilst it is not possible to resolve or uniquely assign water environments in either 1-dimensional T2 or D data, the T2D method clearly resolves ...

A method has been developed whereby diffusion and exchange in micro cellular structures in the human brain are correlated to produce a new type of image contrast leading to determination of water exchange rates in vivo. The diffusion method relies on differential apparent diffusion coefficients as detectable nuclei exchange between adjacent compartments marked with different apparent diffusion ...

purpose: to characterize the histopathologic, electron microscopic and confocal scan features of ahram mineral water (amw)-induced keratopathy in cadaver corneas. methods: seven cadaver globes were examined, five of which were exposed to amw from the corneal side for different durations (30 seconds, 3, 15, 30, and 60 minutes) and the other two were considered as controls. after performing confo...

In this paper, a tapered tip optical fiber probe sensor for localized refractive index (RI) measurements is presented. This sensor’s interaction with analytes is confined to a few micro-meters which makes it a promising candidate for in-vivo or even intra-cellular RI monitoring. This tapered tip was simply fabricated by etching optical fiber with hydrofluoric acid to a conic shape with a sub-m...

  A fuzzy goal programming-based approach is used to solve a proposed multi-objective linear programming model and simultaneously handle two important problems in cellular manufacturing systems, viz. cell formation and layout design. Considerations of intra-cell layout, the intra-cell material handling can be calculated exactly. The advantages of the proposed model are considering machining cos...

Abbreviations: ECF and ICF, extracellular and intracellular fluid respectively. drinking water. Sodium distribution in isolated mesenteric arterial wall was studied with the aid of 22Na, which was continuously washed out. Data were analysed by digital computer simulation without recourse to ancillary chemical measurements of Introduction extracellular space. 2. A three-compartment model consist...
