This introduction is necessary because of the peculiar nature of the proposed therapeutic tool (Delta - S ), and of the active principle used, that is, the variation in biological entropy...
The natural visible expression linking energy and entropy in biological life is ageing. The chemical energy contribution introduced by food is accompanied by a conversion loss related to...
Disease may be defined as the result of the breakdown of homeostatic equilibrium and the functional reserve as the complex means by which it may be restored and maintained. We already know...
It was possible to develop a technology capable of translating the theoretical concept of variation in entropy into an active principle by designing and building a family of ad hoc bioengineering systems. The specific systems...
As we saw in the introduction, the bioengineering and biophysical treatment of disease legitimates the theoretical models developed (and the equations defining them) only if it succeeds in passing suitable experimental verifications...
Structural homeostasis is a function of the availability of energy and of the possibility of using it. Studies of mitochondrial pathology, the central element in cell bioenergetics, show that after the onset of energy damage...
The sum total of homeostatic responses in chronicizing pathological events is functionally effective in terms of the available energy. It is possible to gain therapeutic advantage by supplying biocompatible energy from the outside,...
Entropy may be defined as the measure of a system’s disorder. It is in some way linked to heat via thermal agitation and, in biological systems, to structural/functional disorganization (expression of a state of disorder) or...
One of the main aims of science is to provide a framework within which all the components of our experience can be described in a single complex of terms. The birth of thermodynamics, the branch of science dealing with the...
One of the characteristic features of living organisms is that of performing reactions which seem to produce a decrease in entropy. If the sum total of the modifications associated with such reactions is examined, both in the...
