Pharmacodynamics: Ibuprofen is a NSAID with anti-inflammatory; analgesic and antipyretics effects are the results of the ability to block the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme system, leading to the inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins [6]. COX is the enzyme used for prostaglandin biosynthesis [3]. Both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes are involved with prostaglandin production. The inhibition of these enzymes results in decreased synthesis of prostaglandin thus decreasing pain, fever, and swelling…

Colloids and Crystalloids on fluid resuscitation during hypovolemic shock John Tristan Pahuyo, Staff Nurse ACCU-Barts Heart Centre Hypovolemia is generally defined as having a significant amount of blood volume loss. Shock, on the other hand, is a medical emergency characterized by inadequate blood flow to organs and tissues thus reducing oxygen delivery that leads to organ dysfunction. Hypovolemic shock is described as a loss of greater than 15% of the intravascular volume. It is caused by an…

A total of 156 pLT's were performed, of which, 14 cases were concurrent with kidney or small bowel transplant and 142 were solely LTs. Complete data were available for 112 cases. The average time to extubation was 93 hours (range 0-680). Twelve patients were extubated postoperatively in the operating room. The average ICU length of stay was 170 hours (range 12-635). There were 2 postoperative deaths. The commonest indication for pLT were cholestatic disorders n=76, 54% (Extrahepatic biliary…

(Nakai & Modler, 1996). The intensity of the colour is proportional to the number of aromatic amino acids present, and reacting. Both methods a standard curve of BSA (bovine serum albumin), this being a quantitative means; a technique of plotting assay data that is used to deduce the concentration of unknown proteins. A curve is produced by plotting concentration on X-axis and Absorbance on Y-axis. The unknown concentration can be…

The key to a successful acute dialysis treatment is the preparation. Dialysis in the hospital, there is only one staff member that knows this process and it is you. There is no one to call if anything goes wrong so being prepared for all aspect is a must. With this being said, a dialysis staff member must know their job inside and out. To insure a dialysis staff monitors their patients for the entire treatment, preparing for the unforeseen is the most important part of this job. When the…

dye absorption with maximum between 465 to 596 nm. This derived amount of absorption does not require dilution and can be used for both microassays and standard solutions. The analysis provides a linear response with concentrations of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) from 1 to 140 microliters. The reagent used was the combination of Bradford Reagent-Brilliant Blue G in phosphoric acid and methanol. The dye molecule is mostly deprotonated and converted on the process to a reddish colored species that…

They were labeled similarly to the test tubes in test 1a. The only difference was the control for test 1a was a glucose standard solution and the control for test 2a was an albumin standard solution. After the test tubes were labeled 15 drops of each sample was added to their corresponding test tubes. Then 25 drops of the Biuret reagent was added to each test tube and the contents were gently mixed. The changes in the samples…

There is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The treatment for MS more so focuses on slowing the progression of the disease, managing the symptoms, and speeding up recovery from MS attacks. Some people do not have treatment at all because their symptoms are mild. The treatments for MS vary depending on the persons’ progression of the disease. Treatments include physical therapy, plasma exchange (plasmapheresis), and oral medications such as corticosteroids and muscle relaxants. Many people also…

Austin Davis Cell Transport Permeability and Mechanisms Biology 2101-009 Derek Draper 11/24/16 Introduction The smallest functional unit of life is the definition of a cell. Smaller than the cell are the chemical processes that allow the cell to live. While cell have many different functions, the most basic is making proteins which produces energy by the devouring of glucose. The most interesting part of the cell, because of its complexity, would have to be the plasma membrane. Not…

REASON PROCEDURE: Colonoscopy. INDICATIONS A 29-year-old male with previous established Crohn's colitis elsewhere transferred to FMC Butner. I am to assess disease activity and extent of disease.
