Nitric oxide

documented in patients with blunt trauma.[] [] Indeed, with the electrocardiogram and CK-MB as screening tests, the detection of myocardial contusion has increased from the detection of myocardial contusion has increased from 7 to 17 percent in patients with blunt chest trauma. However, false-positive elevations of the CK-MB isoenzyme can also be seen if the total CK is greater than 20,000 unites; this can occur after massive body injury.[][] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Categorization of…

which limits the hemoglobin available to transfer oxygen and this can reduce the body’s oxygen intake which can be very harmful. NOx (an abbreviation for oxides of nitrogen) Oxides of nitrogen (e.g. NO, NO2 and N2O4) are produced when there is sufficient energy to facilitate a reaction between oxygen and nitrogen in the air. Nitrogen oxides form from the reaction between N2 and…

The illustration above is a good summary for the people who have knowledge about Chemistry, Biology, and Geology. However, it is challenging to understand for people who do not have knowledge in the fields mentioned above. It is so important to give an interpretation so that those people can understand this report. Photosynthesis: This is the process by which plants create their own nutrient by using sunlight. Sunlight acts as the convertor to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic…

Busulfan is anticancer drug caused variety of adverse effects for cancer patients. It’s used to treatment of chronic leukaemia but it could cause damage to the male reproductive system as one of its adverse effects. This study aim to investigate the effect of L-carnitine and L-arginine on semen quality, oxidative stress parameters, caspase3 and testes cell energy after busulfan treatment. Materials and Methods: thirty-two adult male rats were divided into four groups. Group I (Control)…

Thermal effect results from the change in the heat capacity of the gases in the combustion chamber. It is worth mentioning that EGR contains water and CO2 which have higher specific heat capacity than air. The change in absorbing heat is proportional to the added mass, to the heat capacity at constant pressure and to the difference in temperature between the EGR and the combustion temperature. ΔQ=Δm*Cp*(Tcom-Tegr) The change in specific heat capacity results from charge dilution and represents…

Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to your heart and other parts of your body. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque hardens and narrows your arteries, reducing blood flow to your organs (such as your heart) and other parts of your body. This can lead to serious problems, including heart attack, stroke, or even…

Introduction: Sildenafil Citrate (API) is more commonly known by its trade name, Viagra. The drug was discovered by Pfizer. It is used to treat penile dysfunction in men. The drug was firstly created in the 1990’s and was to be used as a treatment for high blood pressure, angina and chest pain. During Trials it was discovered that the drug had insignificant effect on angina. In turn an unexpected side-effect was discovered. The drug gave men a penile erection and sustained it for a period of…

As humans, we never want to stop advancing. We will always look for the next bigger, better, and more efficient way of doing something, which has allowed us to create things such as planes, automobiles, and factories. While these inventions seem to have improved our lives, we see that the creation of this technology has greatly hurt the Earth as well as ourselves when looking at the bigger picture. Albert Einstein himself said that, “all of our exalted technological progress, civilization for…

Copper also gains a net charge of +2, so the reaction was a redox and also a gas-forming reaction. After the 4 mL of nitric acid was added to the .2511g of copper in the beaker, the copper metal effervesced and began to break down; eventually, it dissolved into solution as ions. A brown gas was observed forming in the beaker simultaneously as HNO3 is reduced and transformed…

Pharmacodynamics Pharmacodynamics refers to the mechanisms of drug action. Loratadine is a “non-sedating” tricyclic anti-histamine that possesses competitive, selective, peripheral H1-receptor antagonistic activity. The onset of the anti-histaminic effect occurs 1-2 hours after the administration of the drug and the peak effect occurs between 8-12 hours. Loratadine is known as a long-acting anti-histamine as its anti-histaminic effect can persist for up to 24 hours. Histamine is produced from…
