  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. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Water splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_splitting

    Efficient and economical water splitting would be a technological breakthrough that could underpin a hydrogen economy. A version of water splitting occurs in photosynthesis, but hydrogen is not produced. The reverse of water splitting is the basis of the hydrogen fuel cell. Water splitting using solar radiation has not been commercialized.

  7. Antipyretic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipyretic

    Bathing or sponging with lukewarm or cool water can effectively reduce body temperature in those with heat illness, but not usually in those with fever. [6] The use of alcohol baths is not an appropriate cooling method, because there have been reported adverse events associated with systemic absorption of alcohol.

  8. Latent heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat

    The terms sensible heat and latent heat refer to energy transferred between a body and its surroundings, defined by the occurrence or non-occurrence of temperature change; they depend on the properties of the body. Sensible heat is sensed in a process as a change in the body's temperature.

  9. 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
