  1. Fick principle

    for the diffusion law Fick s law of diffusion Developed by Adolf Eugen Fick 1829 1901 , the Fick principle was first devised as a technique for measuring cardiac output . However, its underlying principles may be applied in a variety of clinical situations. The essence of the Fick principle is that blood flow to an organ can be calculated using a marker substance if the following information is known Amount of marker substance taken up by the organ per unit time Concentration of marker substance in arterial blood supplying the organ Concentration of marker substance in venous blood leaving the organ In Fick s original method, the organ was the entire human body and the marker substance was oxygen. The principle may be applied in different ways. For example, if the blood flow to an organ is known, together with the arterial and venous concentrations of the marker substance, then the uptake of marker substance by the organ may then be calculated. Variables In Fick s original method, the following variables are measured ref GeorgiaPhysiology 3 3ch5 s3ch5 3 Indirect Measurement of Cardiac Output ref VO sub 2 sub , oxygen consumption in ml of pure gaseous oxygen per minute.

  1. Imbert-Fick law

    cleanup date November 2009 The Imbert Fick law was invented by Hans Goldmann 1899 1991 to give his newly marketed tonometer with the help of the Haag Streit Company a quasi scientific basis it is mentioned in the Ophthalmology ophthalmic and Optometry optometric literature, but not in any books of physics . According to Goldmann, ref Goldmann H. Applanation Tonometry. Transactions Second Glaucoma Conference. New York, Josiah Macy, Jr Foundation. 1957. ref The law states that the pressure in a sphere filled with liquid and surrounded by an infinitely thin Biological membrane membrane is measured by the counterpressure which just flattens the membrane. The law presupposes that the membrane is without thickness and without rigidity ...practically without any extensibility. The problem is that a sphere formed by such a membrane and filled with incompressible liquid water cannot be indented or applanated even when the pressure inside is zero, because a sphere contains the maximum volume with the minimum surface area. ref Koster W.
