Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
Mode of...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV01:26

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Medical Device Manufacturing

Background:

  • Blood compatibility is crucial for medical devices like blood pumps.
  • Surface properties significantly influence material-device interactions with blood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of machining parameters on surface roughness in blood pump flow channels.
  • To optimize these parameters for enhanced blood compatibility and reduced thrombogenic risk.

Main Methods:

  • Orthogonal experiments were used to determine the influence of machining parameters (depth of cut, cutting speed, feed per tooth, cutting width) on surface roughness.
  • Blood compatibility tests assessed cellular damage and adhesion on titanium alloy surfaces with varying roughness.
  • A genetic algorithm was employed for parameter optimization.

Main Results:

  • Machining parameters were ranked by their influence on surface roughness.
  • Rougher titanium alloy surfaces led to increased hemolysis and platelet adhesion, promoting thrombus formation.
  • Optimized parameters (80 m/min cutting speed, 0.2 mm depth of cut, 1.25 mm cutting width, 0.02 mm/tooth feed) minimized surface roughness.

Conclusions:

  • Surface roughness significantly affects the hemocompatibility of blood pump components.
  • Optimized machining parameters enhance blood pump performance by reducing thrombogenic risks.
  • The study provides a methodology for manufacturing safer blood-contacting medical devices.
