Near-infrared Spectroscopy: Treatment, Effects & Risks

Near-infrared spectroscopy is an analytical method based on the absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the range of short-wave infrared light. It has many applications in chemistry, food technology and medicine. In medicine, it is, among other things, an imaging method for showing brain activity. What is near-infrared spectroscopy? In medicine, near-infrared spectroscopy is, among other … Near-infrared Spectroscopy: Treatment, Effects & Risks

Pulse Oximetry: Treatment, Effects & Risks

Pulse oximetry uses a noninvasive, photometric method to determine the oxygen saturation of arterial blood by attaching a clip containing infrared light sources and a receiver to the patient’s skin. This clip determines the light absorption of the blood based on the fluoroscopy rate and, when converted to blood oxygen saturation, takes advantage of the … Pulse Oximetry: Treatment, Effects & Risks

Duration of bruising

Resorption phases of a hematoma In the case of a haematoma, four different phases can usually be distinguished. A bruise is caused by bleeding under the skin, so that red blood pigment (haemoglobin) is under the skin. Immediately after the injury (usually a blunt trauma), the affected area therefore turns red due to the accumulation … Duration of bruising

Glycolysis: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases

Glycolysis involves biocatalytically controlled breakdown of simple sugars such as D-glucose in humans and in almost all multicellular organisms. The degradation and conversion process of glucose to pyruvate occurs in ten sequential steps and can occur under aerobic and anaerobic conditions alike. Glycolysis is used for energy production, and pyruvate provides an initial precursor for … Glycolysis: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases

Hemoglobin

Structure Hemoglobin is a protein in the human body that has important functions for the transport of oxygen in the blood. Proteins in the human body are always made up of multiple amino acids linked together. The amino acids are partly taken up by the body with food, partly the body can also convert other … Hemoglobin

Neonatal jaundice

Introduction Neonatal jaundice – also called neonatal icterus or Icterus neonatorum (ancient Greek ikteros = jaundice) – describes the appearance of yellowing of the skin and sclera of the eyes (“sclerae”) of newborns. This yellow coloration is caused by deposits of the decomposition products of the red blood pigment (hemoglobin). The degradation product responsible for … Neonatal jaundice

Symptoms | Neonatal jaundice

Symptoms Often – depending on the severity of the jaundice – there is only a visible yellowing of the skin and the sclerae of the newborn without any further symptoms. The yellowing itself is not noticeable to the offspring. This is usually the case with physiological, harmless neonatal jaundice. If, however, for various reasons, massive … Symptoms | Neonatal jaundice
