Steroid biosynthesis is an anabolic metabolic pathway that produces steroids from simple precursors. A unique biosynthetic pathway is followed in animals compared to many other organisms, making the pathway a common target for antibiotics and other anti-infective drugs.teroid ring system: The parent ABCD steroid ring system (hydrocarbon framework) is shown with IUPAC-approved ring lettering and atom numbering. A steroid is an organic compound with four rings arranged in a specific configuration.
Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET), also known as intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty (IDTA) or IEA, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a catheter and a flexible electrode that is inserted into the affected disc in order to heat the entire posterior edge of the annulus.
Infrared and Radiant Heating. Infrared heating is the transfer of energy via electromagnetic radiation between a source and an object. Most materials absorb heat in the infrared wave band with useful wavelengths for industrial applications in the 3 to 8 micron ranges. Radiant heating (electric, gas, steam, oil) is often used for drying textiles, ceramics, paint (wood and metal), hardening powder paint and heat treatment of plastics.
