the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber‚ where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled (Koetters‚ 2006). Under normal circumstances‚ oxygen is transported throughout the body only by red blood cells. With HBOT‚ oxygen is dissolved into all of the body’s fluids‚ the plasma‚ the central nervous system fluids‚ the lymph‚ and the bone. It can be carried to areas where circulation is

It gained huge public attention in 1988 after Ben Johnson tested positive for it and was stripped of his gold medal at the Seoul Olympic Games (stanzolol.net). Stanzolol was developed to treat anemia‚ a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells (Web MD). Mainly it was developed for anemia because it enhances the process of red blood cell production

Jaundice in Newborns Jaundice is caused by an increase in blood levels of bilirubin‚ which is a waste product made when haemoglobin in red blood cells is broken down. Newborn babies have immature liver enzymes and are unable to chemically transform (metabolise) this bilirubin effectively for later excretion. Babies who are born underweight and those born to diabetic mothers are particularly likely to become jaundiced. Physiological Jaundice A natural build-up of unmetabolised bilirubin is

Biochemical Analysis of Blood Abstract Introduction After blood is collected from a patient it is analysed to check the fragments present and the fluid which will either be plasma or serum. After plasma is separated from blood it recollects the fibrinogen which in turn helps in clotting however serum is the portion of blood which remains after the fibrinogen is removed. Serum contains approximately 6-8% of the proteins which make up blood however plasma creates up to 55% of blood. Serum contains

The Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)‚ also branded as sedimentation rate or Biernacki Reaction‚ is the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a time of 1 hour. To execute the test‚ anti-coagulated blood is positioned in an erect tube‚ known as a Westergren tube‚ and the rate at which the red blood cells fall is calculated and accounted in millimeters per hour (mm/h). The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is rarely the solitary
