#1) A fish eats another fish. Starting in the stomach of a typical gastric fish, explain how the proteins are broken down and absorbed, as well as how the functional units are subsequently used as energy and what waste product is produced. Proteins undergo a series of steps when being digested from a full protein to amino acids. In the stomach, cells secrete pepsinogen along with H+ into the lumen. The excess of H+ ions lowers the pH of the stomach, activating pepsinogen and turning it into…

1. What kind of a history do you need to gather on the geriatric population prior to ordering psychotropic medication? A full and complete Medical history is important to consider any co-morbid disease processes. Has the patient been treated for or diagnosed with any psychiatric disorders or diseases? Has the patient been compliant with treatment for medical or for psychiatric treatment? What type of treatment worked for the patient in the past? The possibility of a medical diagnosis…

removes the poison from the body through the patient’s stools. With the removal of thallium or radiocesium through the stool, the harm to the patient’s tissues and organs remain reduced with this medication. Administered orally to stimulate the excretion of cesium or thallium, this medication is only available by prescription. Cesium is a natural metal element while Cesium-137 is a radioactive form used in an assortment of devices as a source to treat particular cancers. Thallium found in many…

Both these terms are critical reviews in the field of pharmacogenomics. Pharmaco-kinetics: Pharmacokinetics consist of four major processes: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, which are termed as ADME. • Absorption usually deal with how a drug invade into bloodstream of an individual after taking it as a tablet or take it as an inhalant, intravenous injection evade absorption by giving a drug directly into the human…

1. The name of the drug The generic name of the drug that is the theme of this assessment is Metoprolol succinate.

This means less excretion of the drugs and more buildup of the drugs in the bloodstream Objective 4: Pharmacokinetics vs. Pharmacodynamics drug interaction • Pharmacokinetic: How the body handles the medication (Adams & Holland, 2010, p.37) o Drug interaction: influences the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of the drug (ADME) (Cascorbi, 2012) • Pharmacodynamics: how the drug changes the body (Adams &…

Critically discuss the emerging role of the gut microbiota in metabolic health Summary: The connection between gut microbiota, obesity-related disorders and inflammation have been increasingly recognized and understanding the composition of gut microbiota may play a potential role in preventing and/or treating metabolic health. Both in animal and human studies had recognized an alteration of microbiota composition leading to the development of obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. With new…

greater active sites.2 Therefore no alternations to the metabolism process are needed. Elimination of Sitagliptin occurs primarily through renal excretion, involving active tubular secretion.3 Lowering dosages are recommended in patients with moderate and severe renal insufficiency; Sitagliptin is primarily eliminated unchanged via renal excretion, thus dosage adjustments are required for patients with moderate to severe renal…

anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). This can be caused by a number of factors and/or injuries to certain organs of the body. DI is an uncommon disorder characterized by two major symptoms: polyuria and polydipsia (American). Polyuria is defined as the excretion of large amounts of urine. Polydipsia is defined as intense thirst even though large amounts of fluids are consumed. Other signs may include nocturia (frequent night-time urination) and bed-wetting. The signs and symptoms of DI in small children…

are the preserved evidence of an animal’s activity or behavior, rather than the remains of the animal itself. Examples of trace fossils that have been found include: trilobite tracks marine invertebrate burrows ichthyosaur coprolites (fossilised excretion) Fossils with some organic material preserved – During Fossilisation, animal and plant remains can experience a variety of physical…
