Remember how we disassembled a couple of articles by a medical journalist Komissarova from Lifehacker? Now there is also a publication of not just a medical journalist, but "a doctor and author of articles" Yulia Shevchenko. She wrote about the pressure chamber. This is when a person is placed in a high pressure oxygen atmosphere. This allows more oxygen to enter the bloodstream.
Well, yesterday I was just leafing through my incredibly good article. about weather hypoxia, where, for some reason, I also remembered the pressure chamber. Although no one asked me... Then I leafed through the Lifehacker, and there they also write about the pressure chamber. Well, it got to me on fresh yeast.
In short, the doctor and author of articles Yulia Shevchenko writes that one of the useful properties of the pressure chamber is that leukocytes are destroyed due to oxidation with oxygen. And this type is especially important for various purulent infections, because pus is just entirely composed of leukocytes.
Dear readers, how do you like this approach?
Well, if you have a purulent infection that eats away at you, then why not destroy some of your leukocytes, which are already heroically dying in the fight against this infection?
Of course, this is a crazy idea. Because when people have few white blood cells, the infection eats them alive. We only touched on this topic in passing, discussing neutropenic diet. This is when a person has few leukocytes, and he is very afraid to eat some kind of infection with food. Because you can die.
So the doctor and the author of the articles, Yulia Shevchenko, gives a link to a quite decent English-language resource, where English is white it is written that with various purulent wounds, the beneficial effect of the pressure chamber is due, among other things, to called leukocyte oxidative killing. That is, oxidative killing.
And I fully support the opinion of a respected English-speaking source. Leukocytes actually kill enemies through oxidation. For example, hydrogen peroxide. You and I have dealt with this case in article about bronchiectasis.
Hike, the doctor and the author of the articles Yulia Shevchenko drove this very English article through a google translator. If you feed him the phrase "leukocyte oxidative killing", he will translate it as "oxidative destruction of leukocytes." Funny, isn't it?
This phrase had to be translated as oxidative killing of leukocytes. That is, it is not leukocytes that are destroyed, but they are destroyed. The more we supply oxygen to the leukocytes with the help of a pressure chamber, the more they will make any peroxide from this oxygen to fight microbes.
In short, translation difficulties.
And I also suggest that you read my article about how leukocytes know how to make networks from their own DNA and scatter them around them to catch microbes.
