What is sickle cell anemia?
Sickle cell anemia is a chronic, hereditary and familial hemolytic disease, which black subjects suffer almost exclusively. It owes its name to the fact that the erythrocytes of these patients take the form of a sickle or semiluna, with pointed ends (Sicling) when they are deprived of oxygen (sickle cell or sickle cell).
How does a neonatal incubator work?
The neonatal incubator is a closed medical equipment, which consists of a transparent cap that allows the patient to be isolated without losing eye contact with him, in order to provide an environment with pre-established temperature and conditions to favor the development of the newborn (premature , term or sick person). Ideally, core and body temperatures should be maintained with minimal variation.
The diode laser and its importance in aesthetic medicine
A laser diode is a semiconductor device similar to a light emitting diode (LED). Use the p-n junction to emit coherent light in which all waves are on the same frequency and phase. This coherent light is produced by the laser diode using a process called “Amplification of light by stimulated emission of radiation”, which is abbreviated as LASER. And since a p-n junction is used to produce laser light, this device is called a laser diode. Before learning more about the work process of a laser diode.
How does a coagulation analyzer work?
A coagulation analyzer is a laboratory equipment through which coagulation factors can be measured with precision and accuracy, essential elements required to stop bleeding, and in this way identify the possible abnormalities that can lead to excessive bleeding or thrombosis
Importance of proper order and filling of blood collection tubes
Kalstein blood sample collection tubes are normally glass, plastic, PET, PP, PS vacuum tubes with a soft plastic cap, which allows it to be pierced by a needle by gentle pressure.
How to handle a refrigerated centrifuge?
Laboratory centrifuges are equipment used to settle the components in a homogeneous solution in their different densities. For this they have a special design that subjects the solutions to centrifugal rotation and acceleration at a high speed for a certain time, movements with which the solution is separated into two fractions.
What is the application of the diode laser in dentistry?
A diode laser is a type of laser consisting of a solid active medium, formed by a semiconductor that frequently uses a combination of gallium, arsenium and other elements such as aluminum or indium to transform electrical energy into light energy. The wavelength of these lasers for use in dentistry covers a range from 800nm to 980nm. They can emit in continuous mode or in pulses and, due to their wavelength, the energy is easily transportable through optical fiber.
Incineration and sterilization
The incineration of infectious materials is an alternative to autoclave sterilization only if the incinerator is under control of the same laboratory and has an efficient temperature control and a secondary burn chamber.
What should I do when a spill occurs in my laboratory?
Semi-automated chemistry analyzers, in general, are very specialized and expensive equipment. Its conservation depends largely on the way of installation and use. This team is one of the main diagnostic and research instruments developed by humans. It is used in the laboratory in order to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution, thus allowing quantitative analysis.
How does a sleep pencil meter work?
Many patients admit that they have trouble sleeping and suspect they may suffer from sleep apnea, but they do not take the appropriate test because they are afraid of it and its consequences. But it should be clarified that it is a very simple test, without pain, without large appliances and that can be done at the patient’s home.
