The oxygen dissociation curve (ODC) describes the reversible binding of four molecules of oxygen to Hb (10–12). The ODC is usually described by the P50 value, that is, the value of O 2 partial ...

Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. In the flat portion of the curve (dashed line), changes in arterial oxygen partial pressure produce small or no changes in arterial oxygen saturation (when values are ...

The measured SpO2 is determined by arterial partial oxygen pressure (paO2) and the position of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) for a given paO2 (12). Changes in the ODC position define not ...

The decrement observed in high-altitude residents is related to a fall in arterial pO 2 which at resting conditions is placed on the steep part of the oxygen dissociation curve.

This experience, known as dissociation, can feel disorienting and unsettling. For some, it might last a few minutes, while for others, it becomes a recurring and persistent part of life.

Narcissism and dissociation are psychological phenomena that, while distinct, are deeply interconnected. Both can emerge as adaptive responses to relational trauma or early developmental experiences.

A startling discovery made public in July that metallic rocks were apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean’s seabed, where no light can penetrate, was a scientific bombshell.
