Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter

The characteristics that enable us to distinguish one substance from another are called properties.

Classifying Matter by State

103.3K
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is all around us; the air, water, soil, mountains, even our bodies are all examples of matter. Matter is divided into three states — solid, liquid, and gas — that are commonly found on earth. The fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.

The Atomic Theory of Matter

128.0K
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures. 
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated. 
A mixture is composed of two or...

Pilot and Numeric Relaying

496
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

What is Matter?01:13

What is Matter?

58.3K
The substance of the universe—from a grain of sand to a star—is called matter. Scientists define matter as anything that occupies space and has mass. An object’s mass and its weight are related concepts, but not quite the same. An object’s mass is the amount of matter contained in the object and is the same whether that object is on Earth or in the zero-gravity environment of outer space. An object’s weight, on the other hand, is its mass as affected by the pull of...

Summary

Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) patients with stridor show distinct gray matter (GM) changes in the cerebellum and striatum. These findings suggest stridor in MSA may be linked to dystonia.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Stridor, a high-pitched breathing sound, is a known complication of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), but its underlying neuroanatomical basis is not well understood.
  • Understanding the brain changes associated with stridor in MSA is crucial for developing targeted therapies and improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the gray matter (GM) density differences in the brains of MSA patients with and without stridor.
  • To identify specific neuroanatomical regions associated with stridor in MSA.

Main Methods:

  • 36 patients diagnosed with MSA underwent nocturnal video-polysomnography to confirm stridor and brain MRI scans.
  • Voxel-Based Morphometry (VBM) with the Specific Unbiased Infratentorial Template (SUIT) tool was used to analyze GM density differences between MSA patients with stridor, MSA patients without stridor, and healthy controls.

Main Results:

  • MSA patients experiencing stridor exhibited significantly higher GM density in the cerebellum compared to those without stridor.
  • Conversely, MSA patients with stridor showed lower GM density in the striatum compared to MSA patients without stridor.
  • These GM density changes were observed in specific cerebellar and striatal regions.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides the first evidence of stridor-related GM changes in the striatal and cerebellar regions of MSA patients.
  • The findings suggest a potential link between stridor pathophysiology in MSA and dystonic disorders affecting laryngeal muscles.
  • Further research with larger patient cohorts is warranted to confirm these preliminary results and elucidate the precise mechanisms involved.
