The lungs of infants with respiratory distress syndrome are developmentally deficient in a material called surfactant, which helps prevent the collapse of the terminal air spaces (the future site of alveolar development) throughout the normal cycle of inhalation and exhalation. This deficiency of surfactant is related to inhibition from the ...
It is caused by retained fetal lung fluid due to impaired clearance mechanisms. [1] It is the most common cause of respiratory distress in term neonates. [2] [3] It consists of a period of tachypnea (rapid breathing, higher than the normal range of 30–60 times per minute). Usually, this condition resolves over 24–72 hours.
In rechargeable lithium polymer batteries, the internal resistance is largely independent of the state of charge but increases as the battery ages due to the build up of a passivation layer on the electrodes called the solid electrolyte interphase; [3] thus, it is a good indicator of expected life. [4] [5]
Internal resistance varies with the age of a battery, but for most commercial batteries the internal resistance is on the order of 1 ohm. When there is a current through a cell, the measured e.m.f. is lower than when there is no current delivered by the cell.
Causes may include sepsis, pancreatitis, trauma, pneumonia, and aspiration. [1] The underlying mechanism involves diffuse injury to cells which form the barrier of the microscopic air sacs of the lungs , surfactant dysfunction, activation of the immune system , and dysfunction of the body's regulation of blood clotting .

Furthermore, different forms of cellular stress can cause protein misfolding and aggregation leading to proteotoxicity. [9] Tumor microenvironment stress leads to canonical and noncanonical endoplasmic stress (ER) responses, which trigger autophagy and are engaged during proteotoxic challenges to clear unfolded or misfolded proteins and damaged ...
Chapter 5 Season 4 will come to an end shortly and will usher in a three-part, month-long Remix season with promises of a, "chapter end event to remember." A show remixed. A season reimagined.
Differential resistance (also called dynamic, [2] [22] or incremental [4] resistance) – This is the derivative of the voltage with respect to the current; the ratio of a small change in voltage to the corresponding change in current, [5] the inverse slope of the I–V curve at a point: =.
