Equivalent dose

risk for coronary artery disease. Patients were randomized to either valsartan or amlodipine groups and followed for 4–6 years. Investigators were instructed to treat patients until BP was reduced to less than 140/90 mm Hg in an effort to produce equivalent BP in the treatment groups. The details of the study design are more fully described in the attached publication and have been published previously (1,2). The primary endpoint was a composite measure which included sudden cardiac death,…

This might suggest that low doses of risk alleles (which are typically found in relatives) have positive effects that counterbalance their high-dose negative effects. In support of this claim, studies showed that Schizotypy (a personality disorder characterized by a group of symptoms similar to but less severe than schizophrenia) is higher among highly creative individuals according to Nettle and Clegg. And one interpretation is that low doses of schizophrenia risk alleles increased…

Some reasons why animal experimentation should stay legal is because it helps keep humans alive by helping cure things like diseases and cancer. I really they should cut down on the amount of animals they use every year. When you want to test a drug for side effects animals have similar circulatory systems to humans. DNA of chimpanzees are about 99% similar to humans which would they are ideal for experiments, and mice are 98% similar. Its for the animals too, a lot of them could have died from…

Robots in Medicine At one point in life, we all are going to face death! Weather cancer, a stroke, a disease, or a car accident. That’s a truth we can’t hide from, but with the help of medical robots there are now shorter stays at the hospital, less invasive surgeries, easily interpreted medical imaging, and portable medical equipment to use at home. Medical robots have significantly advanced the diagnosis in diseases, which gives a better chance for the doctors to make a more efficient…

synthesized by plant parts in water, once the plant parts are removed and the water has evaporated, a dry white crystalline powder is produced. One teaspoon of the powder is equivalent to consuming 25 cups of coffee at once. This is a very lethal substance and has caused many deaths due to the misuse of the substance. The recommended dose of the powder is 1/16th of a teaspoon. That is almost impossible to measure out, which is why so many mistakes have…

to take vitamin B5 supplements, take no more than 200mg a day. What are the side effects and safety precautions of taking a vitamin B5 supplement? Vitamin B5 supplements are deemed likely to be safe for most people when used at 5mg per day. A larger dose of vitamin B5 may increase the risk of side effects, such as diarrhea. People with hemophilia are not advised to take vitamin B5 as it may take longer for bleeding to stop. What happens if I take too much vitamin B5? Vitamin B5 is a…

tablets compared to $136.00 for the equivalent amount the brand name Phenytoin, Dilantin. Generic brands of phenytoin are even more inexpensive. According to Gregory L. Barklet, Chair of the Epilepsy Foundation’s advisory board and clinical vice chair of neurology at Detroit Henry Ford Hospital, “ The issue with phenytoin is it is the single most difficult anticonvulsant drug to use because it has very different metabolism than most medicines – small changes in dose result in wild swings in…

of problem—dystopian, apocalyptic, and disproportionately affecting the white, underemployed people who voted for him in great numbers. If he does go searching for solutions, he might look backward. What he’ll see is that American medicine needs a dose of old-fashioned paternalism, something he might also appreciate. “Paternalism” is a hoary concept in medicine. It has nothing in particular to do with men and fathers except, of course, that it arose at a time when few physicians were women. An…

Abstract Fatigue is a state of exhaustion that interferes with a person’s ability to perform at their best both physically and mentally. People that are fatigue have decreased energy, decrease reaction time, mood alterations, and impaired judgment. Nursing fatigue is a growing problem due to nurses working longer hours, having no breaks during shifts, and caring for complex patients during 12-hour shifts. Nurses tended to stay longer than what they are scheduled to work as they often have to…

1.2 Evidence based practice In nursing, practice is a dynamic function which changes over time due to new scientific and empirical evidence (Sackett, Rosenberg, Gray, Haynes, & Richardson, 1996). Regardless of this concept, some provide care as a routine and this can be avoided by combing the right professional approach with the best known recent evidence (Gerrish, Communicating and Disseminating Research, 2006). EBP is guided into practice by various valid processes. First of all, a problem…
