Source: Laboratories of Dr. Ian Pepper and Dr. Charles Gerba -The University of Arizona Demonstrating Author: Luisa Ikner Water quality analysis monitors anthropogenic influences such as pollutants, nutrients, pathogens, and any other constituent that can impact the water’s integrity as a resource. Fecal contamination contributes microbial pathogens that threaten plant, animal, and human health with disease or illness. Increasing water demands and strict quality standards require that water...

Dissolved Oxygen in Surface Water

2023
Source: Laboratories of Margaret Workman and Kimberly Frye - Depaul University Dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements calculate the amount of gaseous oxygen dissolved in surface water, which is important to all oxygen-breathing life in river ecosystems, including fish species preferred for human consumption (e.g. bluegill and bass), as well as decomposer species critical to the recycling of biogeochemical materials in the system. The oxygen dissolved in lakes, rivers, and oceans is crucial for the...

States of Water

Water exists in any one of the three classical states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam or water vapor). The state of water depends on i) the intermolecular forces that draw molecules together and ii) the kinetic energy that leads to movements that pull them apart. Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...

The Morris Water Maze

The Morris water maze is one of the most widely used behavioral tests for studying spatial learning and memory. In the initial phases of this task, rodents must swim to a platform to escape from a pool of water. The platform is then hidden under the water’s surface, so that the animal is required to remember it’s location in order to escape.This simple yet powerful maze design can be used to assay cognitive function, study animal models of neurodegenerative disease, and test potential drug...
FAQs
Pericardial fluid collects outside the heart, within the pericardial sac, and expands the external contour surrounding the cardiac chambers. As a result, the radiograph may show a smooth, globular enlargement even when the internal chambers are not enlarged to the same degree. This distinction helps clinicians consider fluid accumulation rather than assuming primary chamber enlargement.
The smooth, globular outline reflects expansion of the pericardial sac as fluid accumulates around the heart. It can therefore raise suspicion for a significant effusion, but the appearance does not establish the diagnosis by itself. The sign is neither specific for one cause nor guaranteed to appear, so clinicians interpret it with other clinical and diagnostic findings.
A rapidly developing effusion may not produce the characteristic enlarged outer contour on chest radiography. Therefore, absence of the sign cannot reliably exclude clinically important pericardial fluid. This limitation is especially relevant when symptoms or examination findings suggest cardiovascular compromise, because assessment must not depend on a radiographic appearance that may develop incompletely or be absent.
Clinicians should treat the finding as a clue that warrants correlation, not as a definitive diagnosis. They assess the patient’s symptoms and physical examination, then use electrocardiography and echocardiography as appropriate to evaluate the suspected effusion and its clinical significance. This approach reduces reliance on a nonspecific radiographic contour alone.
The radiographic observation is considered alongside symptoms, physical examination, electrocardiography, and echocardiography. Echocardiography is particularly relevant to evaluating the suspected fluid accumulation and assessing whether it has consequences for cardiac function or hemodynamic stability. Together, these assessments help clinicians judge severity and determine whether the situation requires urgent management.
A water bottle silhouette can increase concern for substantial pericardial fluid, but it does not by itself determine urgency. Clinicians combine the image with symptoms, examination findings, electrocardiography, and echocardiography to assess hemodynamic risk. The integrated evaluation helps distinguish a finding requiring observation from one associated with instability and the need for urgent management.
