Recently, some evidence has shown that the failure of iron homeostasis may occur in critically ill patients and can lead to iron overload. Elevated ferritin levels as a body iron burden index in critically ill patients may be associated with depressed level of consciousness and greater mortality. However, the necessity of using iron-chelating agents in clinical situation is still unknown for th...

human airway is generally destructed by inhaled factors and is the barrier to the external environment and has a crucial role in protection of the internal homeostasis of the lung. sulfur mustard (sm) is a chemical warfare that capable of producing severe chemical injuries primarily in the lungs. trefoil factor family (tffs) plays major roles in epithelial repair and homeostasis, particularly i...

Homeostasis is the body’s ability to self-regulate biological processes. There are several buffer systems in body that operate cooperatively maintain health. A system consists of two components, one acts on its counterpart. In acid-base homeostasis, almost all physiological processes occur as a result allows solution tolerate pH changes. Buffers can be used beyond concept hydrogen ion donors or...
