Dose

I learned from this activity that the dose-response curve is used to measure the relationship between the quantity of a substance (the dose) and its overall effect (the response). I was able to recognize that dose and response are related by practicing the relationship on a graph. The dose is placed on the X-axis as the concentration of substance while the response is placed on the Y-axis as a percentage. In the example that we have in step 1, the dose that results in 50% mortality of subjects is called the LD50 or “50% Lethal Dose”). We also practiced how to determine the LD50 by locating where the curve equals 50%, then projecting down to the X-axis to find the corresponding dose. We also reviewed the four different shapes of a dose-response curve; S-curve,…

The Struggle To Recover Ever since I started playing, I’ve always loved the game of basketball and the exhilarating rush that it gave me. My favorite aspect of it was being part of a team and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces as the ball went through the hoop and we scored a few points. One day, I began to have chest pains; thinking that it was completely normal for an athlete, I ignored it and continued to play basketball. The first time I couldn’t breathe was in practice a few years…

Introduction A metered-dose inhaler (MDI) is a device that delivers a specific amount of medication to the lungs, in the form of a short burst of aerosolized medicine that is usually self-administered by the patient via inhalation.

7. NASCAR and the MLS are unique in that they have a certain type of stability that other sports do not. In a previous case, the Supreme court ruled that it did not know enough about the sport of NASCAR to make fair rulings. Due to this, NASCAR has their own appeals panel of three people (owners or NASCAR reps) to make decisions. A current example of this occurred earlier this year. A driver failed a post-inspection for three loose lug nuts. This team is facing a 35-point deduction and a…

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To find out the most effective dose of nalbuphine as adjuvant to spinal anaesthesia. To compare the three different doses and find out most optimum dose of nalbuphine with minimal side effects and maximum analgesic effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted prospective randomized double blinded controlled study with 120 ASA I and II patients who were undergoing lowerlimb orthopedic surgery under spinal anaesthesia. We randomly allocated four groups A,B,C to receive 0.4,…

never the same and so it is with other species such as mice or monkeys. This fact is due to the physical and psychological conditions and preparation of each subject. In her book In the Name of Science, F. Barbara Orlans, explains that the most common tests used to analyze the effectiveness or the safety of products are the Draize and the LD50. Both of them imply a large amount of pain to the animals and sometimes death. On one hand, the Draize test consists in applying possible toxic or…

According to Catherine Orenstein, people today have been fantasizing over the storybook romance because they are obsessed with finding their own happily ever after. Our infatuations over fairy tales have been strongly shaped by romance-based reality television. In “Fairy Tales and a Dose of Reality,” Orenstein argues that reality television gives a false sense of hope of what love actually is: the television shows promote that love is based off status and appearance. According to Orenstein,…

connection: This poem makes me think of Leaving (forgetting) something that means something to you. In the poem it says "dose It stink like rotting meat" this refers to leaving (forgetting) a piece of meat and after a while it becomes worthless. I can relate because once I saved a chocolate bar and waited a year to eat it when I went to eat it, it was stale and I had to throw it out. In my life I have waited to long to do something and it ended up becoming worthless and it "dried up" .…
