absorb drugs, so it is convenience and good for patients who have dysphagia or cannot have IV access. It has a rapid onset and short duration, so drugs are removed from the system quickly. Also, drugs are bypassed the first pass metabolism, so the low dose can have high efficacy. However, the sublingual route interferes eating, drinking and talking when patients are absorbing drugs. It is not suitable for sustained delivery systems, so patients cannot achieve long duration with the sublingual…

Gomez, Crystal Mod 700 3/3/2018 Mumps Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a virus that passes from one person to another through saliva, nasal secretions, and dose contact. A person that is affected can spread the disease by sharing items like cups and eating utensils, touching objects/ surfaces without washing their hands, or coughing, and sneezing. The condition affects the salivary glands also called the Parotid glands. These glands are responsible for producing saliva. There are…

Adverse events were found at doses of 200 and 1000 mg/kg/day.3 In rabbits with pregnancy, Daklinza was administered orally at doses of 0, 40, 200, or 750 mg/kg/day.3 Maternal toxicity was observed at doses of 200 and 750 mg/kg/day. The AUC value was 22 fold higher than the recommended human dose at a dose of 40…

mortality indefinitely. The recommended medications to use include diuretics, ACEI or ARB, beta blockers and aldosterone antagonists. CD currently takes furosemide and lisinopril for chronic heart failure. He has no symptoms for edema, so the furosemide dose is suitable. Based on the guideline, a beta blocker is indicated because he has chronic heart failure with EF 40%, using a beta block may reduce mortality, the therapeutic options include metoprolol, atenolol, nebivolol. Metoprolol targets…

differences in body contours, stop skin sparring, and to raise dose buildup on the patient’s skin (Washington, p. 171). Bolus is a tissue equivalent material, but there is not just one type of bolus. Superflab is a commercial bolus that most clinical sites use, but other bolus variations are also available for use. There is no study that compares Superflab, neon green Play-Doh, orange Play-Doh, and uncooked rice for providing maximum dose buildup, also known as Dmax. The purpose of the study is…

and also about other medications along with the asthma medication. It can be used as the exactly how the doctor has prescribed, directions written on the prescription label should be followed by the patient. It is not to be used in small or large doses and also no longer then prescribed. Read the all instructions and patient related information…

vaccine to protect children against chickenpox was first licensed in 1995. Children who have never had chickenpox should routinely be administered two doses of varicella vaccine with the first dose at 12 to 15 months and the second dose at four to six years of age. A single dose of the vaccine reduces risk of chickenpox between 70-90%, and two doses reduce the risk even…

low current (Kári, Karlinger, Légrády, Bérczi, & Czifrus, 2011). A type of external beam radiotherapy that uses ionizing radiation, proton therapy, is also used in scanned beam IMRT. Proton therapy focuses on the tumor shape and delivers only low-dose side effects to the surrounding tissue. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy is most commonly used to treat difficult-to-reach tumors. Most commonly, IMRT treats tumors located in the breast, head and neck, prostate, cervical, bladder, lung,…

as a continuous intravenous infusion. It is metabolized mainly by the liver so it needs dose reduction in liver impairment. Its half-life is moderately extended in renal impairment. The effect of renal impairment on argatroban dosage adjustment is unclear. Some studies which were done on dialysis patients used the same dose in normal renal patients with no additional adverse effects and others used lower doses.(40) Argatroban is highly protein bound so it is not cleared significantly during…

purposefully to repeated or painful stimulation. Usually agents such as midazolam, propofol and etomidate are used but carry the risk of respiratory depression seen that are dose-dependent. The 2011 update to the specific ACEP guidelines for use of ketamine reports the dissociative effects and sedation are observed in doses of 1.0 to 1.5 mg/kg IV bolus over 30-60 seconds, or a 3 to 4 mg/kg IM injection4. IV is preferred over IM for faster recovery to normal mentation.…
