..., in contrast to natural solar heat, their long-waved infrared radiation is mostly absorbed by the outer layers of human skin and may thus lead to superficial overheating. Humidified incubators reduce heat losses to a degree that allows the babies to keep warm without thermoregulatory efforts regardless...

... Saliva has three basic functions. It protects tissues (mucosa and tooth surfaces) by lubricating, humidifying, and in the case of teeth, remineralizing. It has host-defense functions, due to immunological, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activities. It helps with digestion, due to enzymatic...

Interestingly, Aristotle defined memory as a perception of differences in sensations (between true sensation in the heart and the localized sensation in the body), and compared it with painting that could slip away in the infant and the elderly due to body...

... rapid, it follows that the supply to the fetus of similar gestational age can be regarded as suitable. However, some drawbacks to that theory can be made. The fetus thrives in an entirely different environment, despite care for these newborns in warmed and humidified incubators. Furthermore, the fetus...

... a very high workload on the nasal mucosa, which has to heat and humidify the air current. In many patients, this leads to a breakdown of the mucosal capacity, with consequent mucosal congestion, complete nasal obstruction, aqueous rhinitis, sneezing attacks, and complete arrest of the efficiency of CPAP...
