| | SHOCK - encyclopedia article about SHOCK. |
 | | In medicine Medicine is a branch of health science concerned with maintaining human health and restoring it by treating disease and injury; it is both an area of knowledge, a science of body systems and diseases and their treatment, and the applied practice of that knowledge. | | | The rarest cause of shock is acute spinal cord The spinal cord is a part of the vertebrate nervous system that is enclosed in and protected by the vertebral column (it passes through the spinal canal). | | | Other causes of cardiogenic shock include arrhythmia Cardiac arrhythmia is a group of conditions in which muscle contraction of the heart is irregular for any reason. |

| | Heat shock protein -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article |
| | While any relevance of animal research to humans has not been established, it is possible that the same may hold true for other species. | | | Some physicians are conducting research on using heat shock proteins in the treatment of (Type genus of the family Cancridae) cancer. | | | Consequently, the heat shock proteins are also referred to as stress proteins and their upregulation is sometimes described more generally as part of the stress response. |

| | kilowatt-hours/g-°C. The heat capacity of a system such as a calorimeter refers to the ratio of the change in heat energy of the system as a whole to the change in its temperature and is expressed in such units as calories per degree Celsius. | | | The measurement of heat and heat capacity is called calorimetry. | | | or thermal capacity, ratio of the change in heat energy of a unit mass of a substance to the change in temperature of the substance; like its melting point or boiling point, the heat capacity is a characteristic of a substance. |
