Process of the action potential for a human nerve cell

• A stimulus is received by the dendrites of a nerve cell. This causes the Na + channels to open. An influx of Na + ions will occur due to its higher concentration outside the membrane. If the opening is sufficient to drive the interior potential from -70 mV up to -55 mV, the process continues (1) • Having reached the action threshold, more Na + channels (sometimes called voltage-gated channels) open. The Na + influx drives the interior of the cell membrane up to about +30 mV. This corresponds to the depolarization phase at the end of which the Na + channels close. (2) • The Na+ channels are closed and the K + channels open (3) • With the K + channels open, the membrane starts to repolarize back toward its resting position (4). • The repolarization typically overshoots the resting potential to about -90 mV. The overshoot is called hyperpolarization and it is important in the transmission of information because it prevents the neuron from receiving another stimulus during this time, or at least raises the threshold for any new stimulus. Also, it assures that the signal is proceeding in one direction by preventing any stimulus already sent up an axon from triggering another potential in the opposite direction (5). • After overshoot, the sodium-potassium pump brings the membrane back to its resting potential of -70 mV (6).

Pathophysiology of tension pneumonthorax

• Normal conditions: Intrapleural pressure is less than alveolar pressure & atmospheric -- allows gases to flow from high pressure to low pressure (into pleural space) until pressure gradient no longer exists - More air in pleural space --> more intrapleural pressure - Excess air causes the ipsilateral lung to collapse, shifting mediastinum to the other side. This shift can lead to the compression of the other lung & affect venous return to the heart

The speed at which action potentials propagate is affected by:

• The diameter of the axon - large-diameter axons propagate action potentials faster than small-diameter axons • Whether the axon is myelinated - myelinated axons propagate action potentials faster than unmyelinated axons (of the same diameter) because the myelin electrically insulates the membrane, which reduces the ability of ions to leak out of the axon, and increases the distance along the axon that a current can passively flow • Temperature - increase in temperature causes an increase in the rate of diffusion of ions across the membrane

Speed of action potential for a human nerve cell (pain)

Pain is actually one of the slowest sensations our bodies can send. Smaller fibers without myelin, like the ones carrying pain information, carry signals at about 0.5-2.0 m/s (1.1-4.5 miles/hour). The fastest signals in our bodies are sent by larger, myelinated axons found in neurons that transmit the sense of touch or proprioception (the unconscious perception of movement and special orientation) at 80-120 m/s (178-268 miles/hour). Scientists believe that this reflects the evolution of these senses - pain was among the most important things to sense, and so was the first to develop through small, simple nerves

For tests using a ballistocardiograph, a patient lies on a horizontal platform that is supported on jets of air. Because of the air jets, the friction impeding the horizontal motion of the platform is negligible. Each time the heart beats, blood is pushed out of the heart in a direction that is nearly parallel to the platform. Since momentum must be conserved, the body and the platform recoil, and this recoil can be detected to provide information about the heart. For each beat, suppose that 0.050 kg of blood is pushed out of the heart with a velocity of +0.25 m/s and that the mass of the patient and platform is 85 kg. Assuming that the patient does not slip with respect to the platform, and that the patient and platform start from rest, determine the recoil velocity

X-rays are electromagnetic waves emitted when high-energy electrons strike a metal target contained within an evacuated glass tube. The emitted X-ray spectrum of wavelengths consists of sharp "peaks" or "lines," called characteristic X-rays, superimposed on a broad continuous range of wavelengths called Bremsstrahlung. The Ka characteristic X-ray is emitted when an electron in the n 5 2 level (L shell) drops into a vacancy in the n 5 1 level (K shell). Similarly, the Kb characteristic X-ray is emitted when an electron in the n 5 3 level (M shell) drops into a vacancy in the n 5 1 level (K shell). The minimum wavelength, or cutoff wavelength l0, of the Bremsstrahlung is determined by the kinetic energy of the electrons striking the target in the X-ray tube, according to Equation 30.17, where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, e is the magnitude of the charge on an electron, and V is the potential difference applied across the X-ray tube.

• Facial recognition is an automated method to record the special geometry of distinguishing features of the face. • Facial thermography is an alternative to facial recognition • Facial thermography is facial identification that employs the use of an infrared camera to capture the emission of heat patterns that are generated by the vascular system of the face. Heat that passes through facial tissue of a human produces a unique and repeatable pattern (aura). The captured aura is converted into data and then compared to stored auras of authorized individuals, at which point possible matches are generated along with probability percentages. The facial print does not change over time. • Facial thermography is more accurate than facial geometry identification technologies.

• SG is defined as the ratio of the density ofa substance to the density of water • Water has a specific gravity of 1.0 • Any object w/ a specific gravity < 1.0 will float in water and anything greater than 1.0 will sink • The human body has a density slightly less than that of water (~0.974, a lean person is ~ 1.1, fat mass ~ 0.9) and therefore, floats with some exceptions

Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT Scan): Overview

• Series of x-rays that produce a cross section of the body • Provides detailed views of the anatomy, especially the chest and abdomen, but also the head and spine • Contrast agents may be used to help differentiate tissues • Images may be taken before and/or after contrast agents • Patient must remain still for the procedure • May take 5-30 minutes or longer

The treatments from this chapter are applicable for the following 4 conditions:

• Shock • Cardiac tamponade • Tension Pneumothorax • Hyperbaric oxygen treatment

Management: dehydration

• The first priority is to restore intravascular volume and stabilize the vital signs by replacing fluid deficit with 0.9% saline. • Once the vital signs have been stabilized, maintenance fluid also needs to be administered with D5 0.18% saline. - Step (1) 200mL 0.9% over 10-30min - Step (2) 0-8 hrs. • Deficit: 300 mL of 0.9% saline • Maintenance: 333 mL of D5% 0.18% saline - 9-24 hrs. • Deficit: 500 mL of 0.9% saline • Maintenance: 666 mL of D5% 0.18% saline

Sensitivity of human ear

• The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies • Each curve represents the intensity levels at which sounds of various frequencies have the same loudness • Lowest curve: 0 dB at 1000-Hz has the same loudness as 37 dB at 100-Hz, which means that the ear is more sensitive to a 1000-Hz sound than to a 100-Hz sound • The curve labeled "60" corresponds to sounds that have the same loudness as a 60 dB sound at 1000-Hz • The human ear is most sensitive in the 1- 5 kHz range

Parallel Plates -- voltage and electric field

• The magnitude of the voltage between the plates is proportional to the magnitude of the electric field between the plates • The relationship below is true for the uniform electric field between parallel plates and is true in general for uniform electric fields DeltaV= Ed or E= V/d

Resting membrane potential

• The membrane acts like a capacitor with negative charges on the inner side of the membrane and positive charges on the outside • Resting membrane potential is equal to the electric potential difference across the membrane due to the separation of charges • Typically measures -70 mV • During the resting membrane potential there are: • More sodium ions outside than inside the neuron • More potassium ions inside than outside the neuron

North magnetic pole

• The north magnetic pole is the location at which the magnetic axis crosses the surface in the northern hemisphere • The north magnetic pole is so named because it is the location toward which the north end of a compass needle points • The north magnetic pole does not coincide with the north geographic pole • The north magnetic pole moves over time

Thermography

• Thermography is a technique used for the diagnosis of tumors • Radiation is measured at different points on the human body • Points of high radiation indicate high temperature, which in turn would indicate the presence of a tumor or inflammation • This is like taking a photograph, only in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The thermogram shows the temperature variation - the new blood vessels that form around a developing malignancy light up in red, yellow or white, and the normal tissue or benign tumors show up in green or blue. • No radiation and no touch is applied

Indications for Cisternography & Agents

• To evaluate the hydrodynamics of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), compounds must be instilled into the CSF and their course is mapped • Radionuclide cisternography is one of the most reliable tests to assess CSF Agent: In-111(Indium Pentetate - DTPA)

The non-invasive techniques of measuring ICP are:

• Transcranial Doppler • Tympanic membrane displacement • Optic nerve sheath diameter • CT scan/MRI • Fundoscopy

Active transport

• Transport across living membranes in the direction opposite to that dictated by diffusion probability. • The energy for transport is provided by the membranes, which have a source of energy • Example: active transport is (in part) responsible for Na transfer from the kidney tubules

Ultrasonic cleaning

• Ultrasonic cleaning removes soil by cavitation and implosion in which waves of acoustic energy are propagated in aqueous solutions to disrupt the bonds that hold particulate matter to surfaces. • Lower frequency ultrasound in the range from 20 to 40 kHz is used in ultrasonic cleaning devices • Ultrasound in water produces large numbers of tiny bubbles in a process called "cavitation" • Cavitation is a very effective for cleaning surgical instruments • Ultrasonic cleaning removes soil by cavitation and implosion in which waves of acoustic energy are propagated in aqueous solutions to disrupt the bonds that hold particulate matter to surfaces. • Lower frequency ultrasound in the range from 20 to 40 kHz is used in ultrasonic cleaning devices • Ultrasound in water produces large numbers of tiny bubbles in a process called "cavitation" • Cavitation is a very effective for cleaning surgical instruments

Diodes

• Unidirectional device (carries current in only one direction) used in rectifier circuits • A diode is a device with two terminals, between which it allows the flow of current in one direction only • Most diodes are made of silicon • One type of diode is the p-n junction diode (n-type + p-type semiconductor)

Ultrasound (sonography)

• Use of high frequency sound waves • Reflected echoes are detected and displayed in real time • Useful in obstetrics, imaging various internal organs including blood vessels (Doppler ultrasound) and heart valves (TTE or TEE) • Painless, fast and easy • Gel is applied to skin, transducer is guided over the skin (pressure my cause mild discomfort, especially if the bladder is full) • Intestinal gas can prevent visualization of deeper structures • Obese patients are difficult to image

Brain Imaging

• Use of nuclear medicine in brain imaging has declined due to the use of conventional imaging modalities (CIM) • Using nuclear medicine has advantage over CIM in that SPECT/PET imaging allows the viewing of deep brain structures and provides a better anatomical view of the brain. • Radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine provide physiologic information about cerebral pathology which can strongly influence treatment decisions • Used to determine if a patient is legally brain dead (primary clinical use), evaluation of cerebrovascular disease, intracranial injury due to trauma, neuropsychiatric disorders, convulsive disorders and to assess cognitive functions

How does a doppler flow meter work?

• Using Doppler effect, speed of blood flow is measured; increased blood speed indicates a constricted area

How fo vasopressor drugs work?

• Vasopressor drugs make blood vessels smaller and tighter; the body will raise the blood pressure in response to vasoconstriction to keep the blood volume flow rate constant; they are used for short periods of time under close supervision - Increase BP, ex.) phenylephrine, dopamine

Output phase (blood output from ventricle) of cardiac cycle

• Ventricular contraction (systole) • The aortic and pulmonary valves close at the end of the contraction (second sound: dub)

Input phase (blood input into ventricle) of cardiac cycle

• Ventricular expansion (diastole) • The atrioventricular valves close at the end of expansion (first sound: lub)

The invasive techniques of measuring ICP are:

• Ventriculostomy EVD *** gold standard • Microtransducers - Most accurate but introduce risks such as hemorrhaging and infection

Ideal properties of a radiopharmaceutical

• easily produced, inexpensive, readily available • has a short effective half-life • particle emission versus photon emission - α- and β-particle emitters are usually therapeutic (μCi), but can be diagnostic (μCi) if able to image associated photons - photon emitters (mostly γ-ray) are diagnostic - EC or IT without IC is most desirable decay properties - γ-ray energies of 30-300 keV are efficiently detected by SPECT cameras. 150 keV is optimal for cameras with a collimator - PET cameras detect 511keV photons

Effective decay

• effective decay = physical decay + biological decay - lung imaging may have absorption losses to the circulation

• prepare using a commercial kit • must be checked for particle size by a hemocytometer • > 95% of particles must be: 10 μm < x < 90 μm • < 10 μm will be removed by the liver • > 150 μm will clog arterioles • primarily used for lung perfusion studies

A charged particle is observed traveling in a circular path of radius R in a uniform magnetic field. If the particle were traveling twice as fast, the radius of the circular path would be

2R

Areas of fluoroscopy (a use of x-ray imaging):

- Note: fluoroscopy - use of real-time x-rays to guide surgical procedures • Angiography (evaluate blood flow, esp. atherosclerosis of coronary vessels, stent placement, renal perfusion) • Cystourethrogram (bladder) • Hysterosalpingography (uterus & fallopian tubes)

If light is traveling from a lesser optical density to a higher, the angle of refraction will be _________ than the angle of incidence

Less

Infection/Inflammation Imaging with RPs

- Primarily used for bacterial infections rather than fungal or parasitic due to a higher leukocyte response - Chronic infections respond better to In-111 oxine - Acute infections respond better to Tc-99m exametazime (Ceretec or Tc-99m HMPAO) - Acute soft tissue abscesses (for diabetic patients) - Suspected prosthetic graft infections - Osteomyelitis - Inflammatory bowel disease - Fever of unknown origin

Arterioles are called

"resistance vessels" because they are surrounded by muscle cells that can produce large changes in the vessel radii, which in turn produce large changes in the resistance to flow

Advantages of Swan-Ganz monitors
