Molecular Models

44.8K
Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

456
Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...

Compartment Models: Single-Compartment Model01:14

Compartment Models: Single-Compartment Model

3.5K
The single-compartment model serves as a simplified representation of the human body. This model assumes that the body functions as a single, well-mixed open compartment. When a drug is administered intravenously, it enters the body and quickly distributes uniformly. The drug then undergoes biotransformation and elimination, ultimately leaving the body. The volume of this compartment is referred to as the apparent volume of distribution into which the drug can uniformly distribute. In this...

Clearance Models: Compartment Models01:25

Clearance Models: Compartment Models

1.6K
Clearance measures drug elimination from the central compartment, including plasma and highly perfused organs like kidneys and liver. Its calculation varies depending on pharmacokinetic models and administration routes. The one-compartment model, for instance, portrays the pharmacokinetics of polar drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics administered intravenously and readily excreted in urine. In this case, clearance is influenced by the terminal rate constant (λz) and the total volume...

Compartment Models: Two-Compartment Model01:20

Compartment Models: Two-Compartment Model

7.5K
The two-compartment model divides the body into central and peripheral compartments to account for varying blood perfusion rates among organs and tissues, affecting drug distribution. The central compartment includes blood and highly perfused tissues with rapid drug distribution, while the peripheral compartment contains tissues with slower drug distribution. After a single IV bolus dose, the drug concentration is high in plasma and low in tissues. The drug distribution between compartments...

Three-Compartment Open Model01:06

Three-Compartment Open Model

1.1K
The three-compartment open model is a pharmacokinetic model used to describe the distribution and elimination of drugs following extravascular administration. It comprises a central compartment representing the plasma and two peripheral compartments. The highly perfused peripheral compartment represents organs and tissues with a rich blood supply, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The scarcely perfused peripheral compartment represents tissues with lower blood supply, such as adipose...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational hygiene
  • Exposure modeling
  • Industrial ventilation

Background:

  • Standard "well mixed room" models are insufficient for predicting occupational exposures with local controls.
  • Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems require more sophisticated modeling approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present new "one box" and "two box" models for predicting occupational exposures in scenarios with local controls.
  • To incorporate factors such as local exhaust efficiency and task-specific emission durations into exposure models.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed new "constant emission" one-box models for scenarios with local exhaust, filtered return, and general room ventilation.
  • Developed steady-state and transient models, augmenting the standard one-box model with a task-duration factor.
  • Introduced new variables for local exhaust capture efficiency and filtration efficiency.
  • Presented a structured calibration procedure for model application to continuous and cyclic processes.

Main Results:

  • The new models allow for the prediction of average exposures for cyclic and irregular emission patterns.
  • Calibration procedures enable estimation of generation rates and unknown model variables.
  • Models account for the immediate capture efficiency of local exhaust and filtration efficiency of returned air.

Conclusions:

  • The developed models offer improved accuracy for occupational exposure assessments in workplaces utilizing local controls.
  • The enhanced modeling approach is applicable to both continuous and intermittent emission scenarios.
  • Model calibration provides a practical method for estimating key exposure parameters.
