Oxygen: How Do We Stand It?
The electronic structure of ground state oxygen, which is essential for the life of all aerobic organisms, makes it potentially dangerous for those organisms. Atmospheric oxygen contains two unpaired electrons with parallel spin states, which predisposes it to reduction by a univalent pathway.

The concept of pyrexia as a protective physiological response to aid in host defence has been challenged with the awareness of the severe metabolic stress induced by pyrexia. The host response to pyrexia varies, however, according to the disease profile and severity and, as such, the management of pyrexia should differ; for example, temperature control is safe and effective in septic shock but ...
