Hypovolemic shock is the result of severe blood/fluid loss causing the heart to inadequately circulate oxygen to the rest of the body (Workman, 2013, pp. 812). In this condition, there is sudden decrease in blood volume within the vascular space causing a drop in mean arterial pressure. This decrease in mean arterial pressure causes a sudden loss in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood related to the sudden decline in available red blood cells. As the heart is unable to properly pump oxygen…

paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (AF or AFib) occurs when the atria (upper chambers of the heart) lose their normal rhythm and beat chaotically. When this happens, blood isn’t flowing through the heart and body efficiently. This inefficient flow can cause blood to pool inside the atria, increasing the risk of blood clots. Atrial fibrillation can be associated with stroke, dementia, heart failure, and reduced quality of life. About 15–20 percent of people who have strokes have…

the most popular steroids in sports. Its fame is due to its overly high deca-durabolin- webanabolic activity. As a result, as it mass increase, so as its side effects.

2- The fluctuations in plasma drug concentration are minimized and side effect associates with concentration are also minimized. 3- Complete absorption of drug from the floating formulation is expected even at alkaline pH of intestine. The dissolution occurs in gastric fluid and after emptying of the stomach contents the dissolved drug is available for absorption in small intestine. 4- Because of site‐specific absorption from the upper part of the GIT, Drugs that have poor bioavailability are…

Gangs in the United States have evolved from malignant neighborhood groups into lucrative businesses and brutal vigilantes. Harvard University Professor Roland Fryer concludes the Crack Epidemic fundamentally transformed gangs because the booming drug trade incentivized larger and more sophisticated gangs (9). Similarly, the rapidly increasing opioid market in rural and suburban America explains the development of gangs in those areas (Whalen). Unfortunately, addiction and drug sales often bring…
