  2. Metabolic equivalent of task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_equivalent_of_task

    The metabolic equivalent of task (MET) is the objective measure of the ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy, relative to the mass of that person, while performing some specific physical activity compared to a reference, currently set by convention at an absolute 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg per minute, which is the energy expended when sitting quietly by a reference individual, chosen ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_glargine

    Insulin glargine sold under the brand name Lantus among others is a long-acting modified form of medical insulin, used in the management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. [7] It is injected just under the skin . [ 7 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirometry

    F ex O 2 is the fractional amount of oxygen present in the excurrent air stream (what the animal has consumed relative to baseline per unit time). For example, values for BMR of a 20 g mouse ( Mus musculus ) might be FR = 200 mL/min, and readings of fractional concentration of O 2 from an oxygen analyzer are F in O 2 = 0.2095, F ex O 2 = 0.2072.

  6. Heated humidified high-flow therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_humidified_high...

    Heated humidified high-flow therapy, often simply called high flow therapy, is a type of respiratory support that delivers a flow of medical gas to a patient of up to 60 liters per minute and 100% oxygen through a large bore or high flow nasal cannula. Primarily studied in neonates, it has also been found effective in some adults to treat ...

  7. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation_(medicine)

    Normal arterial blood oxygen saturation levels in humans are 96–100 percent. [1] If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low and called hypoxemia. [2] Arterial blood oxygen levels below 80 percent may compromise organ function, such as the brain and heart, and should be promptly addressed.

  8. Indirect calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_calorimetry

    where RQ is the respiratory quotient (ratio of volume CO 2 produced to volume of O 2 consumed), is 21.13 kilojoules (5.05 kcal), the heat released per litre of oxygen by the oxidation of carbohydrate, and is 19.62 kilojoules (4.69 kcal), the value for fat. This gives the same result as the Weir formula at RQ = 1 (burning only carbohydrates ...

  9. Oxygen saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation

    Dissolved oxygen levels required by various species in the Chesapeake Bay (US). In aquatic environments, oxygen saturation is a ratio of the concentration of "dissolved oxygen" (DO, O 2), to the maximum amount of oxygen that will dissolve in that water body, at the temperature and pressure which constitute stable equilibrium conditions.
