Fluid management in the ICU is crucial for patient care. This includes understanding the distribution of body fluid compartments, such as intravascular, interstitial, and intracellular fluids. Different types of fluids like crystalloids and colloids play essential roles in treatment. Crystalloids ar

Matter is made up of elements that cannot be broken down further. Different mixtures have distinct properties, such as solutions, colloids, and suspensions. Physical properties like viscosity and density can be observed without changing the material's composition. Chemical properties, like flammabil

In the realm of dispersed systems, molecular, colloidal, and coarse dispersions differ in size rather than composition. Colloidal dispersions consist of particles ranging from 1 nm to 1 micrometer, exhibiting unique characteristics and examples. The classification is also based on physical states an

Colloids play a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry as heterogeneous biphasic systems with particle sizes ranging from 1nm to 100nm. They are classified based on aggregation and interaction of phases, with examples like aerosols, foams, emulsions, and more. Colloids can be prepared by condensa

Colloidal particles dispersed in liquid media can acquire a charge through selective adsorption of ionic species or ionization of surface groups. This leads to electrokinetic phenomena like electrophoresis, electro-osmosis, sedimentation potential, and streaming potential. The stability of colloids
