What are Cells?01:07

What are Cells?

198.6K
Cells are the smallest and basic units of life, whether it is a single cell that forms the entire organism, e.g., in a bacterium or trillions of them, e.g., in humans. No matter what organism a cell is a part of, they share specific characteristics.
Basic Characteristics of Cells
A living cell has a plasma membrane, a bilayer of lipids that separates the aqueous solution inside the cell called the cytoplasm from the outside environment.
Furthermore, a living cell possesses genetic information...

Concentration Cells02:41

Concentration Cells

25.8K
A concentration cell is a type of a  voltaic cell constructed by connecting two almost identical half-cells, both based on the same half-reaction and using the same electrode, differing only in the concentration of one redox species. A concentration cell's potential, therefore, is determined only by the concentration difference of the particular redox species.
Consider the following voltaic cell:

What is Cell Signaling?02:03

What is Cell Signaling?

130.3K
Despite the protective membrane that separates a cell from the environment, cells need the ability to detect and respond to environmental changes. Additionally, cells often need to communicate with one another. Unicellular and multicellular organisms use a variety of cell signaling mechanisms to communicate to respond to the environment.

Chemistry of the Cell02:58

Chemistry of the Cell

47.8K
The cell is chemically composed of water, organic molecules and inorganic ions.
Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...

Hair Cells01:22

Hair Cells

44.9K
Hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory system—they transduce mechanical sound waves into electrical energy that the nervous system can understand. Hair cells are located in the organ of Corti within the cochlea of the inner ear, between the basilar and tectorial membranes. The actual sensory receptors are called inner hair cells. The outer hair cells serve other functions, such as sound amplification in the cochlea, and are not discussed in detail here.

    Summary

    Patient Blood Management (PBM) utilizes autologous cell salvage to reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusions. This method prevents erythrocyte damage and is applicable in major surgeries with significant blood loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Transfusion Medicine
    • Surgical Hemostasis
    • Patient Blood Management

    Background:

    • Autologous cell salvage re-infuses washed blood cells from surgical sites and drains.
    • It is a key component of Patient Blood Management (PBM) strategies.
    • Cell salvage effectively minimizes the requirement for allogeneic blood transfusions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the benefits of cell salvage in blood conservation.
    • To emphasize the prevention of erythrocyte storage-related damage.
    • To outline the applications of cell salvage in various surgical procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Re-infusion of washed autologous blood.
    • Collection from operative field and wound drainages.
    • Application in surgeries with expected blood loss >500 ml.

    Main Results:

    • Reduced allogeneic blood transfusion rates.
    • Preservation of erythrocyte integrity.
    • Applicable in cardiac, vascular, orthopedic, and cancer surgeries (with irradiation).

    Conclusions:

    • Cell salvage is an effective blood conservation method.
    • It offers advantages over stored allogeneic blood.
    • Broad surgical applicability, including oncologic procedures with modifications.
