Nitrogen NF

Nitrogen NF Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Nitrogen NF is a chemical element with symbol N and atomic number 7. At room temperature, it is a transparent, odorless diatomic gas.Liquid nitrogen is used principally in cryotherapy for removal of diseased skin. Liquid nitrogen helps in removal of skin lesions through necrosis, which results from the freezing and thawing of cells. Cryotherapy usually done in doctors' office. Also, nitrogen is very famous component in fertilizers and energy-stores.

Uses

Nitrogen NF is a cryogenic agent used to treat various benign and malignant skin lesions.

Liquid nitrogen is used mainly as a cryogenic agent for the treatment of various benign and malignant skin lesions.

Nitrogen NF is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Actinic Keratosis (AK), Benign skin lesions, Hypoxemia, Warts

How Nitrogen NF works

In cryotherapy, mechanism of action could be classified into three stages: 1. heat transfer, 2. cell injury and 3. inflammation. Boiling point of liquid nitrogen is -196°C, which is the responsible for creating the initial stage which is heat transfer. The second stage is cell injury which is induced during thawing conditions of the cells. The last step in the cryotherapy is the inflammation stage which is characterized by edema and erythema. Inflammation occurs as a result of cellular death and it helps in local cell destruction.

Toxicity

Liquid nitrogen: Serious adverse effects include hemorrhage, infection, and excessive granulation tissue formation. Alopecia, atrophy, keloids, scarring, hypopigmentation, and ectropion formation are among permanent complications of cryotherapy.
