F7DIBMT - Biothermodynamics and Mass Transfer

Module 1. Thermodynamics of biological processes and systems.

Thermodynamics of biological processes.

Sources and circulation of energy in biological systems.

Thermoregulation and its control systems.

Registration and maintenance of the characteristics of the gas transport function of the blood.

Registration and support of external breathing characteristics.

Water-electrolyte balance of the organism.

Module 2. Biomodynamics and mass transfer in biomedical engineering.

Definition and subject of study of physiotherapy.

Physical properties of body tissues.

Basic biophysical processes, modulated by therapeutic physical factors.

Application of optical radiation (phototherapy)

An analysis of the heart function in a defect of the interventricular septum and an assessment of the left ventricle in the „pressure-volume“ curve.

Biophysical processes, modulated by therapeutic physical factors.

In the case of foreign lecturers, there will be a weeklong block of intensive contact education for the number of students at least five. If the number of students is less than five, the course will be self-study with consultations using VoIP (e.g. Skype) and a contact 1-or 2-day seminar. The contact seminar will take place at the FBMI or at the home institution of a foreign lecturer. The subjects are concluded by an oral examination. The student must elaborate a paper on a given topic together with the exam in case of the controlled self-study.

Two laboratory exercises are required for admission to the exam (attested by a protocol signed by the student, the tutor and the supervisor of the course).

The protocols will be archived in the Department for Doctoral Studies.
