Regional Terms01:12

Regional Terms

17.4K
Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the body parts into different regions that contain structures involved in contributing similar functions. Using these terms helps increase the accurate description and identification of the particular region of interest or region affected by the disease.
Primarily, the human body has two major regions, the axial and appendicular regions. The axial region comprises regions from the head to the abdomen and makes up the central body axis. In contrast,...

Asepsis01:28

Asepsis

3.6K
The condition of being free from disease-causing living pathogens is asepsis. Aseptic techniques include a set of standard practices to achieve asepsis. An example is the regular environmental cleaning of all parts of the healthcare facility and hand hygiene at home before preparing or eating food. Medical and surgical asepsis in healthcare practice protects patients from harmful pathogens, minimizes the risk of contamination of susceptible sites, and reduces the risk of infection transmission.

Abdominal Aorta01:25

Abdominal Aorta

3.4K
Once the aorta traverses the diaphragmatic plane at the aortic hiatus, it is known as the abdominal aorta. This anatomical structure is positioned leftward of the spinal column, encased within a cocoon of adipose tissue behind the peritoneal cavity. It terminates at the L4 vertebra, where it splits into the common iliac arteries. Prior to this bifurcation, the abdominal aorta gives rise to several vital branches.
The celiac trunk, a singular artery, divides into the left gastric artery, which...

Arteries of Lower Limbs01:20

Arteries of Lower Limbs

6.5K
The external iliac artery transitions out of the body cavity, entering the femoral region of the lower leg, and is renamed the femoral artery at the point where it traverses the body wall. This artery is responsible for the distribution of blood to the thigh's deep muscles and the skin's ventral and lateral regions, achieved through several minor branches and the lateral deep femoral artery, which also spawns a lateral circumflex artery. The knee area receives blood from the genicular...

Nomenclature of Primary Amines01:17

Nomenclature of Primary Amines

3.7K
Primary, secondary, and tertiary amines are compounds consisting of one, two, and three alkyl groups connected to the amino group (–NH2), respectively. As depicted in Figure 1, the common name of the primary amines is obtained by adding the suffix -amine to the alkyl substituent attached to the amino group as the corresponding alkylamine.

Dehydration Synthesis01:15

Dehydration Synthesis

133.2K
Overview
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
Synthesis of carbohydrates
Sugar molecules are covalently linked together by dehydration synthesis. During the reaction, the hydroxyl (-OH) group from...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Global Health Equity
  • Apheresis Applications

Background:

  • The 2014 ASFA/WAA Congress highlighted apheresis status outside the US, focusing on experiences from underrepresented countries.
  • Discussions addressed challenges in donor and therapeutic apheresis, particularly in low and median income nations.
  • Key issues included the high cost, technical demands, and resource requirements of apheresis technology.

Framework:

  • International collaboration and knowledge-sharing initiatives are crucial for advancing apheresis globally.
  • The session provided a platform for physicians from diverse regions to share unique country-specific experiences.
  • Focus was placed on understanding and overcoming barriers to apheresis implementation in varied healthcare settings.

Implementation:

  • Significant disparities in apheresis access exist within countries (e.g., Brazil) and between neighboring nations (Africa, South America).
  • Common challenges identified across Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, and South Africa include the need for enhanced practitioner training.
  • Inadequate infrastructure, such as unreliable electrical power, poses a significant hurdle in developing regions.

Implications:

  • Enhanced training in apheresis indications and patient monitoring is essential for qualified personnel.
  • Addressing resource limitations and infrastructure gaps is vital for equitable apheresis access.
  • Continued global cooperation between organizations like ASFA and WAA can drive improvements in apheresis standards and accessibility worldwide.
