Home/ Previous / Next by Justin LaClair January 14, 2019 6 min read An Oxygen Concentrator is a machine that draws in ambient air from the room around it, removes most of the Nitrogen, and passes the pure Oxygen to the patient.There are some main components that make up an Oxygen Concentrator:Air FiltersAn Air Compressor4 way switching valvesSieve BedsCircuit BoardProduct TankAir Filters:Every Oxygen Concentrator has a series of filters used. The job of these filters is twofold. Some of the filters work to clean the air before it goes through the Compressor, and some of the filters clean the air before it leaves the machine and is provided to the patient.The cabinet filter is typically a piece of foam that sits in the exterior cabinet of the Oxygen Concentrator. It is used to stop large items like lint or pet hair from getting inside of the Oxygen Concentrator. These filters are recommended that you rinse them off in your sink every week or two, and let them dry before placing them bac...

Books Book Series Journals Publish About News What is Open Access?Open Access is an initiative that aims to make scientific research freely available to all. To date our community has made over 100 million downloads. Its based on principles of collaboration, unobstructed discovery, and, most importantly, scientific progression. As PhD students, we found it difficult to access the research we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access publisher that levels the playing field for scientists across the world. How? By making research easy to access, and puts the academic needs of the researchers before the business interests of publishers. Authors, Editors and InstitutionsWe are a community of more than 103,000 authors and editors from 3,291 institutions spanning 160 countries, including Nobel Prize winners and some of the worlds most-cited researchers. Publishing on IntechOpen allows authors to earn citations and find new collaborators, meaning more people see your work not only f...

Isoflavones in Soybean as a Daily Nutrient: The Mechanisms of Action and How They Alter the Pharmacokinetics of Drugs
2025-04-03 21:45:04| Spiritual Career Counseling
Soybeans [Glycine max (L.)] are a good source of isoflavones. The main isoflavone components of soybean are daidzein, genistein, and glycitein. World soybean production is very high. Because of its pharmacological activity, soy isoflavone intake over a long period of time may result in interactions with the drugs. This review summarizes soy isoflavone-drug interactions based on the pharmacokinetic parameters. Soy isoflavones have pharmacokinetic interactions with celecoxib, theophylline, paclitaxel, midazolam, imatinib, carbamazepine, valproic acid, repaglinide, omeprazole and danofloxacin. This is due to the changes in the area under the curve, maximum serum concentration, time that a drug is present at the maximum concentration in serum, clearance and half-life of the drugs when delivered together with soy isoflavones. The mechanisms of pharmacokinetic interactions occurs through the inhibition/induction of drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes such as CYP3A4, CYP2A1, an...
