  2. Mechanism of action of aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_action_of_aspirin

    Additionally, aspirin induces the formation of NO-radicals in the body, which have been shown in mice to have an independent mechanism of reducing inflammation. This reduces leukocyte adhesion, which is an important step in immune response to infection. There is currently insufficient evidence to show that aspirin helps to fight infection. [18]

  3. Aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin

    When high doses are given, it may actually cause fever, owing to the heat released from the electron transport chain, as opposed to the antipyretic action of aspirin seen with lower doses. In addition, aspirin induces the formation of NO-radicals in the body, which have been shown in mice to have an independent mechanism of reducing inflammation.

  4. History of aspirin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aspirin

    The aspirin patent had expired, Bayer still had control over the Aspirin trademark, seen at the bottom of the ad, and a "patriotic" slogan to buy war bonds. Also shows the factory in New York State. The U.S. ASA patent expired in 1917, but Sterling owned the aspirin trademark, which was the

  5. Swimming-induced pulmonary edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming-induced_pulmonary...

    Antiplatelet agents such as aspirin or fish oil [2] Excessive pre-hydration before immersion [12] Negative pressure inspiration when diving. [3] Use of a snorkel and some types of scuba equipment may cause a negative pressure difference between the air-source and lung centroid, which will cause a greater leakage of fluid into the alveoli. [3]

  6. Physiology of decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiology_of_decompression

    When the pressure of gases in a bubble exceed the combined external pressures of ambient pressure and the surface tension from the bubble - liquid interface, the bubbles will grow, and this growth can cause damage to tissues. Symptoms caused by this damage are known as decompression sickness. [2]

  7. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    Simplified control circuit of human thermoregulation. [8]The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus.

  8. Desorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desorption

    Desorption is the physical process where adsorbed atoms or molecules are released from a surface into the surrounding vacuum or fluid. This occurs when a molecule gains enough energy to overcome the activation barrier and the binding energy that keep it attached to the surface.

  9. Cold water extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_water_extraction

    Cold water extraction (also called CWE) is the process whereby a substance is extracted from a mixture via cold water. It is a type of fractional crystallization . The process generally involves taking a mixture of substances, dissolving them in warm water, and then rapidly cooling the mixture.
