    Minoxidil Research Paper

    Minoxidil, an antihypertensive vasodilator medication, which was developed in the 1950’s by a company called Upjohn originally used to treat ulcers. During their experiments with dogs, they figured out that it did not cure ulcers, but acted as a vasodilator. Due to this recent discovery, Upjohn was able to develop a compound called Minoxidil in 1963 as well as being able to synthesize over 200 variations of the compound. The molecular structure and compound of Minoxidil is C9H15N50, made entirely of nonmetals with the molecular weight being 209.2483 g/mol, the UIPAC name being 3 hydroxy, 2 imino, 6 piperidin, 1 ylpyrimidin, and 4 amine. The percentage composition of carbon being 51.65, hydrogen being 7.24, nitrogen being 33.47, and oxygen being 7.64.…

    This left 204 patients, whose average age was now 78.4 years old, who completed the study and were analyzed for occurrence of diarrhea. Of those 204, 98 received the placebo and 106 received S. boulardii capsules. There was no statistical difference in the occurrence of ADD (P=0.71) since 13 in the placebo group (13.3%) and 16 in the S. boulardii group (15.1%) developed diarrhea. The odds ratio (OR) was 1.16 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.53-2.56. A total of 5 patients tested positive for C. difficile toxin, 2 in the placebo group (2.0%) and 3 in the S. boulardii group (2.8%) (OR 1.4; 95% CI, 0.23-8.55; P=1.00).…

    3. The patient in this case study is taking omeprazole for a presumably gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD). Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor producing a decrease in the gastric acid secretion, therefore it is used as first treatment option in the gastrointestinal reflux disease( May and Rao,2014) 4.

    Respiratory Case Study: Let It Blow (COD)

    For pain or fever, dosing is 325-1000mg every 4-6 hours, not to exceed 4000mg/day for adults and 10-15mg/kg every 4-6 hours for children. The drug works by producing analgesia and reducing inflammation and fever by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. It also decreases platelet aggregation, which will decrease the incidence of transient ischemic attacks and myocardial infarctions. The purpose of the medication is to decrease inflammatory disorders including: Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, for mild to moderate pain, fever and prophylaxis of transient ischemic attacks and myocardial infarction. Side effects include: tinnitus, gastrointestinal bleeding, dyspepsia, epigastric distress, nausea, abdominal pain, anorexia, hepatotoxicity, vomiting, anemia, hemolysis, increased bleeding time, anaphylaxis, and…

    Rituximab

    For the purpose of this discussion topic paper, I reviewed the article Rituximab as a treatment for severe atopic eczema: failure to improve in three consecutive patients. The article discussed the study of three consecutive patients with severe atopic eczema (red, itchy skin) that they treated with rituximab infusions, but the infusions failed to improve the condition. The article also mentions three other case studies that varied in results. Considering the small sample used in the main study of this article and the contradicting findings of other sited studies, I do not find that the main study, alone, is an adequate one to draw any type of final conclusion about whether or not rituximab is a successful method of treatment for severe atopic eczema.…

    Understanding Crohn's Disease

    According to Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America they say, “Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, usually affect as many as 1.4 million Americans, most of whom are diagnosed before age 30.” Even though both diseases have numerous symptoms alike, they have a lot of complicated differences. For example according to the CCFA, “Ulcerative colitis is limited to the large intestine (known as the colon) and the rectum”. Crohns Disease “affects the end of the small intestine (the ileum) and the beginning of the colon, but it can affect any part of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus.” In addition inflammation only happens on the surface layer of the intestinal lining.…

    Ulcerative Colitis Research Paper

    Numerous studies have been done on the causes and effects of Ulcerative Colitis in the body that ultimately begin and progress through the large intestine. These studies have led to information that allows physicians to help their patients control the symptoms of this disease and enable them to lead a normal life. However, through the research that has been done no significant information has led to the cure of this disease or what truly causes it in the first place. The cause for this disease must be determined to allow prevention and there must be research leading to the cure of this disease; not only treatment to reduce the symptoms and manage the disease. This paper will examine the research done on Ulcerative Colitis to determine the steps…
