  2. Artificial gills (human) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_gills_(human)

    Artificial gills are hypothetical devices to allow a human to be able to take in oxygen from surrounding water. This is speculative technology that has not yet been demonstrated. Natural gills work because most animals with gills are thermoconformers (cold-blooded), so they need much less oxygen than a thermoregulator (warm

  3. Trilostane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilostane

    Steroidogenesis.Trilostane inhibits 3β-HSD. Trilostane is a steroidogenesis inhibitor. [1] It is specifically an inhibitor of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD). [1] [15] As a result of this action, trilostane blocks the conversion of Δ 5-3β-hydroxysteroids, including pregnenolone, 17α-hydroxypregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and androstenediol, into Δ 4-3-ketosteroids ...

  4. Liquid breathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing

    Although total liquid ventilation (TLV) with completely liquid-filled lungs can be beneficial, [9] the complex liquid-filled tube system required is a disadvantage compared to gas ventilation—the system must incorporate a membrane oxygenator, heater, and pumps to deliver to, and remove from the lungs tidal volume aliquots of conditioned perfluorocarbon (PFC).

  5. Artificial gills - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_gills

    Artificial gills may refer to: Imitation gills put into stuffed fish for the sake of appearance in taxidermy; An inaccurate term for liquid breathing sets; Artificial gills (human), which extract oxygen from water to supply a human diver

  6. Nerve guidance conduit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_guidance_conduit

    A nerve guidance conduit (also referred to as an artificial nerve conduit or artificial nerve graft, as opposed to an autograft) is an artificial means of guiding axonal regrowth to facilitate nerve regeneration and is one of several clinical treatments for nerve injuries.

  7. Induced coma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_coma

    Induced coma usually results in significant systemic adverse effects. The patient is likely to completely lose respiratory drive and require mechanical ventilation ; gut motility is reduced; hypotension can complicate efforts to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure and often requires the use of vasopressor drugs.

  8. Gill hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gill_hyperplasia

    Gill hyperplasia is a medical condition consisting of the inflammation, hyperplasia, or hypertrophy of gill tissue, caused by disease, poor water quality, or injury of the gills. Gill function is often impaired, causing significant oxidative stress. [1] Anabantiformes endure hyperplasia better than other species due to the possession of a ...

  9. Pharyngeal slit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharyngeal_slit

    Pharyngeal clefts resembling gill slits are transiently present during the embryonic stages of tetrapod development. The presence of pharyngeal arches and clefts in the neck of the developing human embryo famously led Ernst Haeckel to postulate that " ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny "; this hypothesis, while false, contains elements of truth ...
