"Diffusion - How atoms move through solids" Diffusion means mass transport by atomic motion. The mechanisms of Gases & Liquids is known as random (Brownian) motion and for solids is known vacancy diffusion or interstitial diffusion. Simply we can define diffusion as‚ the movement of particles in a solid from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration‚ resulting in the uniform distribution of the substance. (Diffusion chapter 5‚ 2008‚ p.1) Ronald D. Kriz(1999) suggests that

FICUS - Risk Factors and Assessment When assessing family members for likelihood of developing FICUS in the LTACH‚ risk factors are noted to be characteristic of the family member themselves‚ or acquired as a result of the stressors of having an ill family member. Although not much research exists in the development of FICUS in the LTACH‚ many of the risk factors that lead to FICUS in the ICU can be extrapolated to the LTACH environment. Demographic risk factors include female gender‚ patient age
