Quantum Numbers

It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions

39.9K
The formation of a solution is an example of a spontaneous process, a process that occurs under specified conditions without energy from some external source.
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...

Intermolecular Forces

71.7K
Atoms and molecules interact through bonds (or forces): intramolecular and intermolecular. The forces are electrostatic as they arise from interactions (attractive or repulsive) between charged species (permanent, partial, or temporary charges) and exist with varying strengths between ions, polar, nonpolar, and neutral molecules. The different types of intermolecular forces are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion; among these, dipole–dipole, hydrogen...

Intermolecular vs Intramolecular Forces

97.5K
Intermolecular forces (IMF) are electrostatic attractions arising from charge-charge interactions between molecules. The strength of the intermolecular force is influenced by the distance of separation between molecules. The forces significantly affect the interactions in solids and liquids, where the molecules are close together. In gases, IMFs become important only under high-pressure conditions (due to the proximity of gas molecules). Intermolecular forces dictate the physical properties of...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

1.3K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

59.2K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Red bone marrow metastases are common in breast and prostate cancers and are currently incurable.
  • Hyperthermia shows promise for treating bone metastases, but accurate thermometry in red marrow is challenging.
  • Current thermometry methods in red marrow lack the necessary accuracy for effective hyperthermia treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel thermometry technique based on intermolecular zero quantum coherences (iZQCs) for accurate temperature measurement in red bone marrow.
  • To compare the accuracy and coherence lifetime of the iZQC method against traditional localized spectroscopy and multiple gradient echo imaging.
  • To establish a method for quantitative thermal imaging in red marrow to guide hyperthermia treatment.

Main Methods:

  • The study measured the evolution frequency of intermolecular zero quantum coherences (iZQCs) between fat and water.
  • The iZQC evolution frequency was linearly mapped to temperature.
  • The iZQC method's temperature accuracy and coherence lifetime were assessed against localized spectroscopy and multi-gradient echo imaging.

Main Results:

  • The temperature coefficient (α) for the iZQC method was 9.8 ± 0.7 ppb/°C.
  • Traditional localized spectroscopy yielded a temperature coefficient of 2 ± 7 ppb/°C.
  • The iZQC method demonstrated nearly a tenfold improvement in accuracy (0.7 ppb/°C) compared to localized spectroscopy (7 ppb/°C).

Conclusions:

  • The reproducibility of the temperature coefficient (α) limits thermometry accuracy.
  • Intermolecular zero quantum coherences (iZQCs) significantly enhance thermometry accuracy in red marrow.
  • This iZQC technique facilitates the first accurate and quantitative thermal imaging of red marrow, crucial for hyperthermia cancer treatment.
