Sialodenitis (Parotitis) Parotitis, or sialadenitis, is an inflammatory reaction of the parotid gland caused by bacterial, viral, fungal, or mycobacterial penetration. The infection originates with retrograde migration of oral cavity flora through Stensen’s duct. Stasis of saliva, ductal obstruction, decreased stimulation of saliva (anorexia), decreased mastication, and poor oral hygiene contribute to retrograde migration. Chronic illnesses, recent surgical procedures, hypovolemia (diarrhea,…

Prefilled syringes are a fast growing alternatives to vials for many drug products. Increased interest in prefilled syringes is largely driven by the advantages they offer relative to the vials. Currently, most prefilled syringes are made of glass, but plastic syringes are gaining popularity, particularly in applications for which glass is an unsuitable delivery system. Plastic has been an alternative to glass in prefilled syringes since the early 1990’s. Earliest plastics were, however, made of…

Due to the change in this patient’s status immediate interventions include: administration of crystalloid fluid bolus to help maintain blood pressure, administration of IV calcium gluconate to help improve contractility and hypotension, and atropine to block the parasympathetic nervous system and speed up the heart rate. 8. If the patients blood pressure does not improve the next step would be to administer a vasopressor to increase the heart rate and vessel tone by activating the sympathetic…

While it definitely slowed, the contractions were sporadic at best. The heart lost its regularity and showed random contraction intervals, some ranging shorter than normal while others had greater time gaps between contractions. Procedure 5: Effects of a Ligature on the Heart After the knot had been tied around the AV groove, no noticeable alterations were noticed to heart contraction. Upon tightening of the thread however, the heart appeared in clear distress. Beat irregularities ensued…

acutely vomiting because of the pains in his stomach and throat. He was immediately rushed to the ED. His symptoms are diaphoresis, motor dysfunction, parethesias, nausea, ascending paralysis, cyanosis, and hypoventilation. He was prescribed with atropine due to the bradycardia. As he was assumed to be poisonous with tetrodotoxin which is a neurotoxin, intravenous hydration, gastric lavage and activated charcoal was conducted next. Background The extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid of…

investigated[22-26] but it’s never been elucidated in PPTN. The present study was aimed to study the cardiovascular responses of the PPTN nucleus to microinjection of GABA receptors antagonist, bicuculline, in anesthetized rats. We also study the effect of Atropine perfusion on cardiovascular response caused by injection of…

In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter”, Chillingworth is guilty of Dimmesdale’s death. For one he tries to poison Dimmesdale with some medicine, he makes him suffer mentally, and he tortures him for it all and tries to make him feel guilty for all that he’s done. Chillingworth believes that Dimmesdale was the father of Pearl, Prynne’s baby after he found out that she got pregnant from Dimmesdale. Chillingworth came to visit Hester, only to find out she was in prison for committing…

with different factors and the ECG will detect and display their effects of the stimuli. The ECG will record and assess the changes they have on the heart contraction, the following drugs will be explored- acetylcholine, epinephrine, pilocarpine and atropine. For example, acetylcholine reduces cardiac activity, this means that the contractions are decrease together in force. Essentially, these drugs are either sympathomimetic or para-sympathomimetic drugs. Sympathomimetic drugs mimic the…

also been on oral antidiabetics, which before this exam I had very little knowledge about. After participating in several codes in the emergency department I worked in this summer, and now working in pre-op and PACU, I really enjoyed learning about atropine and other drugs that I have watched the administration of. I feel as though everything is coming full circle this semester. I am beginning to make connections between all that I have learned through hands on experiences, anatomy, physiology,…

colleague here contacts the Aurors,” she said, wrinkling her nose in distaste over the situation Quinn created. “I also need to head to Silverleaf and pick up some supplies which may take an hour or two. While I’m gone Carlisle, I need you to stop the atropine and only use the diazepam if Harry starts seizing. Unfortunately, non-magical and magical medication don't typically mix well so it will be better if he is off all medications by the time I…
