Membrane potential is the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. Membrane potential is a potential gradient that forces ions to passively move in one direction: positive ions are attracted by the 'negative' side of the membrane and negative ions by the 'positive' one.

Cómo afecta la cantidad de medicamiento al nivel de<br> fiebre de un paciente??
Fed [463]
La fiebre es la temperatura corporal anormalmente alta. Por lo general, se define como tres lecturas de temperatura oral superiores a 38 ºC o 100.4 ºF en un período de 24 horas, o una lectura de temperatura superior a 38.5 ºC o 101.3 ºF. La fiebre es la respuesta del cuerpo a una infección. Sin embargo, sólo en la mitad de todos los pacientes con cáncer que desarrollan fiebre es posible encontrar un origen claro de la infección.

La fiebre es particularmente preocupante si ocurre en un momento en que se sabe o se espera que el nivel de leucocitos sea bajo (en el nadir). Durante ese tiempo, las defensas normales del cuerpo contra las infecciones están bajas y es necesario evaluar la fiebre más detenidamente de inmediato.

A veces, la quimioterapia y la fiebre guardan relación, porque los pacientes que reciben tratamientos de quimioterapia y tratamiento biológico pueden tener fiebre como parte del "síndrome seudogripal". La fiebre asociada con el síndrome seudogripal usualmente alcanza los 40 ºC o 104 ºF y suele aumentar después de un escalofrío fuerte. Este comportamiento es similar al cuadro clínico que presenta una sepsis (una infección en la sangre), de manera que es importante que los pacientes que reciben tratamiento biológico conozcan la evolución habitual de la fiebre después del tratamiento.
