Positive effects of technology in healthcare are:
Improving quality of healthcare assistance due to better health facilities and equipment, patient records or credentials are being kept in a database system easier to access in the facility, and time saving because of better data and easy systematic approach of the technology in the management.
Technology can also bring harmful effects in health care such as:
Medical knowledge posted online may not be accurate and dependable and it can bring harm to anyone who self-medicate. The radiation a technology emits would cause harmful effects and increase risk of a very serious disease on the healthcare providers that facilitates it. Lastly, the advancement of technology in a healthcare facility would cause a higher amount of money on patient's medical bills.
Living things need water in their cells. Water is the universal solvent - most of the chemicals a cell needs is dissolved and transported in water. Water is an environment where chemical reactions can occur and water is needed in many of those reactions - like the hydrolysis reaction (needed in the break down of food molecules). If a cell becomes dehydrated chemical reactions slow down. Chemical balance of the cell is changed as waste materials are not removed fast enough, food is not broken down, etc. Water also helps regulate the heat that can build up in a cell during chemical reactions. A dehydrated cell = increase in cell temp. Water content of a cell also affects the pH of a cell environment. Certain reactions occur better at certain pH. Homeostasis is maintaining a balance with the the environment. Without water the balance is upset.
This condition is called as cyanosis. In this case, the body does not get an adequate amount of oxygen, or there might be poor circulation of oxygen. Cyanosis is a symptom of a serious health condition. Shortness of breath may occur suddenly, along with other symptoms.
