1. Dead Space

   Dead Space is a science fiction/horror media franchise created by Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, developed by Visceral Games, and published and owned by Electronic Arts. The franchise's chronology is not presented in a linear format; each installment in the Dead Space franchise is a continuation or addition to a continuing storyline, with sections of the storyline presented in prequels or sequels, sometimes presented in other media from the originating video game series, which includes two films and several comic books and novels. Primarily set in a 26th century science fiction universe featuring environments, weapons, and characters typical of the genre, the Dead Space franchise centers on a series of video games beginning with the release of the first Dead Space, which follows an engineer named Isaac Clarke and the mutated undead horrors that surround him. A central theme in the games is the fictional cult religion Unitology and its fanatical followers, who believe that information about an alien artifact called the Marker is being suppressed by the Earth's government. Their primary goal is to use this Marker to bring about the so-called "convergence" or "unification", with the Markers being the source of the undead monsters encountered by the series' protagonists. The Dead Space video game series has been positively received; the first game in particular won a number of industry awards for the varied elements of its gameplay and development, and is often regarded as one of the best video games of all time by critics. From a commercial perspective, EA considered the video game series as a whole to have underperformed. After the financial disappointment of 2013's Dead Space 3, no further media for the franchise was made for the remainder of the 2010s. A remake of the first game was developed by Motive Studio and released on January 27, 2023.

1. Dead space

   In physiology, dead space is the volume of air which is inhaled that does not take part in the gas exchange, either because it remains in the conducting airways, or reaches alveoli that are not perfused or poorly perfused. In other words, not all the air in each breath is available for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Benefits do accrue to a seemingly wasteful design for ventilation that includes dead space. Fish waste none of their ventilation because they exchange gases from a continuous unidirectional stream of water that crosses their gills. Mammals breathe in and out of their lungs, wasting that part of the inspiration which remains in the conducting airways where no gas exchange can occur. ⁕Carbon dioxide is retained, making a bicarbonate-buffered blood and interstitium possible. ⁕Inspired air is brought to body temperature, increasing the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen, improving O2 uptake. ⁕Particulate matter is trapped on the mucus that lines the conducting airways, allowing its removal by mucociliary transport. ⁕Inspired air is humidified, improving the quality of airway mucus. About a third of every resting breath has no change in O2 and CO2 levels. In adults, it is usually in the range of 150 mL.
