Refer to Design Step 1 for introductory information about this design example. Additional information is presented about the design assumptions, methodology, and criteria for the entire bridge, including the steel girder. Figure 3-1 Span Configuration. Figure 3-2 Superstructure Cross Section.
HYPOFLUORESCENCE Hypofluorescence may be caused by 1) blocked fluorescence, which is synonymous with negative fluorescence or transmission decrease, or 2) a vascular filling defect. Blocked fluorescence corresponds to the size, shape, and location of the blocking material seen ophthalmoscopically.
Anemia and blood loss are the most common causes of this type of hypoxia. Other possible causes include exposure to carbon monoxide, nitrites, and sulfa drugs, which form compounds with and reduce the amount of hemoglobin available to combine with oxygen.
