Acute toxicity

Coronary artery disease continues to maintain its status as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. It is a high priority of clinicians not only to manage the acute symptoms of coronary artery disease, but also to prevent future major adverse cardiac events, such as acute myocardial infarction and cardiac death. Percutaneous coronary intervention is a nonsurgical procedure to treat atherosclerosis within the heart’s vessels (cite). Percutaneous coronary intervention, a…

1. After long term exposure to altitude, the body makes several adjustments in order to perform physical activity in the hypoxic condition. A) What chronic adaptations are most beneficial for performance at altitude? When one goes into high altitudes their immediate response are somewhat negative the increase in ventilation, decrease in carbon dioxide, respiratory alkalosis, being in a hypoxic state and many more. However, when having an exercise performance such as the winter Olympics one…

Results and Discussion Shellfish is considered a good indicator for environmental pollution with heavy metals, simply because it can accumulate high levels of these metals. However, these organisms are considered valuable source for animal derived protein, vitamins and essential trace elements, especially for people living nearby sea. Thus, estimating the residual levels of these metals, in particular the toxic ones, assessment of the possible human health risks and trying to find effective…

synthetic non-ionic surfactants e.g sorbitans (Spans) or polysorbates (Tweens). Non-ionic surfactants are inexpensive, non-toxic, and can be found in wide variety. Types of surfactants affect encapsulation efficiency, mechanical properties, stability and toxicity of niosomes35. In fact, they are nanosized vesicles with a bilayer structure that have a hydrophilic core shielded from one or multiple hydrophobic lipid bilayer. This…

prevent or improve gentamicin induced acute kidney injury (111,112). In an experimental investigation, we tested the ameliorative effects of co-administration of metformin and garlic extract for prevention of gentamicin nephrotoxicity in rats. In this experimental study, seventy male rats were tested. The results of this study revealed that metformin and garlic as well as their combination have protective and curative activity against gentamicin renal toxicity (113). Recently, to find the…

Throughout history a strong correlation has been observed between the presence of environmental pollutants and adverse physiological effects on both humans and wildlife (Olea & Fernandez 2000; Kawai et al. 2003). These pollutants have the capacity to disrupt normal endocrine function, with the majority of cases involving reproductive abnormalities leading to population decline (Kawai et al. 2003). Chemicals with such effects are labelled as endocrine disruptors and can be defined as exogenous…

economics status would be a factor likely to increase exposure of foodborne toxicity because people with low-income consume only one or two foods. On the other hand, children under 18 years old are at high risk in toxicological effects of cyanide since they are immature and differ from adult (ATSDR, 2006). Cyanide compounds would be lethal potentially and affect brings about adverse effect on human seriously. (MDCH, 2004)  Acute Effects The complication from cyanide exposure depends on the…

Chemically treated food or sometimes referred to as conventional foods are grown using synthetic chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides, which then get absorbed into the soil and cannot be removed. With the high demand for food as a result of population growth and improvements in human diets the demand for quality fruits and vegetables are rapidly on the rise. As expressed in Doreen Gabriel, article, Food Production Vs. Biodiversity, even though conventional agriculture is intensive it…

Carbamazepine (Tegretol) and Phenobarbital (Luminal) belongs to a group of medication called anticonvulsants. Tegretol is prescribed to control epilepsy, prevents facial pan from trigeminal, and act as a mood stabilizer to control mania in patients that have episodes of over activity. The medication decreases the synaptic transmission in the central nervous system affecting the sodium channels in neurons (Deglin, Vallerand, & Sanoski, 2014, p. 265). Similarly, Luminal is prescribed to patients…
