The two tissue compartments modeled are the cell surface binding compartment, q2, and an intracellular space compartment where internalized antibody resides, q3.
Most models for quantifying gas exchange in a clinical setting consider the lungs as having three compartments: a shunt compartment, a dead space compartment, and normal lung.
The size of the shunt compartment is commonly estimated by the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, whereas that of the dead space compartment scales with dead space ventilation (Vd/Vt) [ 3] and VE40 [ 6].
In turn, as testified by oxygenation, wet-to-dry and CT scan data, this led to decreased accumulation and/or improved clearance of lung edema and inflammatory cells in the alveolar and third-space compartments and to attenuated extent of alveolar collapse.
At 4 days, there was a sudden increase of arsenic levels, as the cellular and third-space compartments became saturated and anuria prevented arsenic excretion (Fig. 1a).
The ratio of the C-sucrose specific-radioactivity in intracellular compared to free-space compartments (sucrose specific-radioactivity ratio) was calculated to determine, in part, the path of sucrose during transfer between phloem and intracellular compartments.
Once that happens, space station compartments will start soaring and astronauts will begin moving in.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.06807.002 The organization of the intracellular space into compartments is fundamental to life; it allows cells to perform complex biochemical reactions in a confined and controlled manner.
They divide the epidural space into compartments of various sizes, which are sometimes connected with the venous plexus and can be implicated as a cause of epidural catheter failure, uneven distribution of anaesthesia and epidural hemorrhage.
Dissemination of disease between the retroperitoneum and the peritoneal cavity, between the subdivisions of the retroperitoneum, and within the subperitoneal spaces is difficult to conceptualize if the various spaces and compartments of the abdomen and pelvis are considered fixed, immutable, and isolated delineators of anatomy.
