Difference Between Local and General Anaesthesia

Last updated on June 20, 2022 by Divanshi G

We can categorize anaesthesia into two prominent categories- local and general, based on the site and potential of action. Local anaesthesia is preferred during minor surgeries.

Difference Between Hypothermia and Hyperthermia

Last updated on May 17, 2022 by Divanshi G

Hypothermia and hyperthermia are the situations related to overwhelmed body temperatures. Our body functions optimally around 37 °C. The body can withstand the change of a few degrees up and down, but things might start malfunctioning if the temperature fluctuates beyond that. Hypothermia, on the one hand, happens when you get exposed to a cold, wet or windy environment for a prolonged period of time. This might cause your body temperature to fall dramatically to low levels. The main reason … [Read more...]

In contrast, the pyramid is a structure with only one polygonal base. Its sides are triangular in shape. These sides meet at the common meeting … [Read more...]

Difference Between Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)

Last updated on September 6, 2021 by Divanshi G

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is the measurement of the amount of oxygen consumed by aquatic microorganisms to decompose or to oxidize the organic matter. On the other hand, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) refers to the amount of oxygen needed to break down the pollutants chemically. BOD and COD are correlated, as both are the methods with the aim of indicating the amount of pollution present in a given water sample. However, BOD is widely used due to some practical reasons, but the analysis … [Read more...]

Difference Between Lyophilic and Lyophobic Colloids

Last updated on July 25, 2021 by Divanshi G

The solvent-loving colloids or such colloids which show less or distinct affinity towards dispersion medium is known as Lyophilic colloids. The solvent-hating colloids or such colloids which do not have any attraction towards dispersion medium is known as Lyophobic colloids. The colloidal state is said when the particle size is between 1 to 100 nm. When the particle size is less than 1nm it is in the true solution, while when the particle size is more than 100 nm, the matter exists in the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Kwashiorkor and Marasmus

Last updated on September 20, 2020 by Divanshi G

Kwashiorkor is the severe protein deficiency in the children, while marasmus is the severe deficiency of the nutrients and insufficient intake of calorie.
