Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy01:26

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

13.4K
Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Induced-fit Model

89.2K
Most chemical reactions in cells require enzymes—biological catalysts that speed up the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed. They reduce the activation energy needed to convert the reactants into products. Enzymes are proteins, that usually work by binding to a substrate—a reactant molecule that they act upon.
Enzymes exhibit substrate specificity, meaning that they can only bind to certain substrates. This is mainly determined by the shape and chemical...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

28.0K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different types of cells. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are post-mitotic—that is, they no longer divide. However, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they “de-differentiate” and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are also pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are therefore...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different cell types. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are terminally differentiated; however, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they dedifferentiate and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Induced Electric Dipoles

4.8K
A permanent electric dipole orients itself along an external electric field. This rotation can be quantified by defining the potential energy because the external torque does work in rotating it. Then, the potential energy is minimum at the parallel configuration and maximum at the antiparallel configuration. While the former is a stable equilibrium, the latter is an unstable equilibrium.
Since the absolute value of potential energy holds no physical meaning, its zero value can be chosen as per...

Induced Electric Fields

4.6K
The fact that emfs are induced in circuits implies that work is being done on the conduction electrons in the wires. What can possibly be the source of this work? We know that it’s neither a battery nor a magnetic field, as a battery does not have to be present in a circuit where current is induced, and magnetic fields never do any work on moving charges. The source of the work is in fact an electric field that is induced in the wires. For example, if a stationary conductor is placed in a...

Summary

Contrast induced nephropathy is a controversial topic. Many studies show no direct link between iodinated contrast media and worsening kidney function in patients with normal renal function.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is traditionally considered a significant cause of acute renal insufficiency in hospitalized patients.
  • It is often cited as the third leading cause, following functional renal insufficiency and acute tubular necrosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current understanding and clinical relevance of contrast induced nephropathy.
  • To assess the evidence linking iodinated contrast media to renal function decline.

Main Methods:

  • Review of numerous studies examining the effects of intravenous iodinated contrast injection on renal function.
  • Analysis of data from patients undergoing injected scanners, particularly those with normal baseline renal function.

Main Results:

  • Numerous studies have failed to demonstrate a direct causal relationship between intravenous iodinated contrast injection and worsening renal function.
  • The risk of CIN may be overestimated in patients with normal renal function.

Conclusions:

  • The concept of contrast induced nephropathy is increasingly debated within the medical community.
  • Physicians may be overestimating the risk of CIN, impacting clinical practice and patient management.
