  2. Hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin

    The Bohr effect favors the T state rather than the R state. (shifts the O 2-saturation curve to the right). Conversely, when the carbon dioxide levels in the blood decrease (i.e., in the lung capillaries), carbon dioxide and protons are released from hemoglobin, increasing the oxygen affinity of the protein.

  3. Heart rate variability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate_variability

    The bands are typically high frequency (HF) from 0.15 to 0.4 Hz, low frequency (LF) from 0.04 to 0.15 Hz, and the very low frequency (VLF) from 0.0033 to 0.04 Hz. [50] HF power reflects stimulation by the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), whereas LF power reflects stimulation by both the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the PNS. [ 50 ]

  4. T wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_wave

    The last half of the T wave is referred to as the relative refractory period or vulnerable period. The T wave contains more information than the QT interval. The T wave can be described by its symmetry, skewness, slope of ascending and descending limbs, amplitude and subintervals like the T peak –T end interval. [1] In most leads, the T wave ...

  5. Oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen–hemoglobin...

    The T state has a lower affinity for oxygen than the R state, so with increased acidity, the hemoglobin binds less O 2 for a given P O2 (and more H +). This is known as the Bohr effect . [ 4 ] A reduction in the total binding capacity of hemoglobin to oxygen (i.e. shifting the curve down, not just to the right) due to reduced pH is called the ...

  6. Bohr effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_effect

    In the R state, the ionic pairings are absent, meaning that the R state's stability increases when the pH increases, as these residues are less likely to stay protonated in a more basic environment. The Bohr effect works by simultaneously destabilizing the high-affinity R state and stabilizing the low-affinity T state, which leads to an overall ...

  8. Arterial blood gas test - Wikipedia

    A 1 mmHg change in PaCO 2 above or below 40 mmHg results in 0.008 unit change in pH in the opposite direction. [11] The PaCO 2 will decrease by about 1 mmHg for every 1 mEq/L reduction in [HCO − 3] below 24 mEq/L; A change in [HCO − 3] of 10 mEq/L will result in a change in pH of approximately 0.15 pH units in the same direction.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared_window_in...

    The near-infrared (NIR) window (also known as optical window or therapeutic window) defines the range of wavelengths from 650 to 1350 nanometre (nm) where light has its maximum depth of penetration in tissue. [1] Within the NIR window, scattering is the most dominant light-tissue interaction, and therefore the propagating light becomes diffused ...
