What is botox Botulinum neurotoxin is produced naturally by Clostridium botulinum, a gram positive spore forming bacteria. It has eight different serotypes named Type A, B, C1, C2, D, E, F and G. Botulinum toxin type A is the most powerful and longest acting of all and used widely for therapeutic purpose. It consists of two polypeptide chains : a heavy chain and a light chain linked together by a disulphide bond. It is synthesized in an inactive single peptide chain with a molecular mass of…
situation, from our first jazz solo jitters to our state marching championship elation. The perseverance that allowed me to survive the physical and mental strain from that prom night mirrored my resolve in academic pursuits: from mastering acid-base titration, to performing self-driven neurological research, to conquering mountains of American History reading. So as that unforgettable addition to the annals of my high school career concluded, I was thankful. Advancing to the next chapter of my…
The management and titration of these therapies in the late stages of heart failure require the need to balance the adverse effects of these therapies against the therapeutic benefit. There is also a need to manage the tablet burden of patients in the end stages of the disease…
Dissociative identity disorder and the psychodynamic view and treatment Dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, is when a person develops two or more distinct personalities. These distinct personalities are called subpersonalities or alternate personalities. There is usually one subpersonality that appears more often than the others, called the primary or host personality (Comer, 2016, p. 170). Cases of this disorder were first reported almost three…
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the heart rate through the dive reflex Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain and balance its normal body function in varying conditions. The autonomic nervous system relates to the peripheral nervous system. Its objective is to sustain homeostasis of the visceral organs. In this investigation we will observe the mammalian diving reflex, which implicates the autonomic nervous system. In mammals, immersing the face in water initiates…
Each test yielded its own unique set of observations, calculations and results. In order to determine these various values through calculation, the experimental data as well as the chemical reaction of calcium hydroxide was used for all calculations. The chemical equation is displayed below: The first experiment determined the molarity of OH- and Ca2+, the Ksp and the ΔG for saturated calcium hydroxide at 21°C. In order to determine these values, the experimental data as well as the chemical…
My proclivity towards Pharmaceutical Sciences, especially for Drug interaction with the human body, became intense when I met my uncle who is a pharmacist and was visiting to advise my father for his medications. At that point, I was in 9th grade. I was curious how these chemicals can heal human body and help people to get healthy. I realized that I wanted to delve deeper into the subject that helped my father to recover from his illness. I made up my mind to pursue a career in the…
4. What medication would you suggest including dosing, medication education and counseling would you provide? (25pts) My prescription for Mr. RS would be Alprazolam 0.5 mg three times daily along with Zoloft 25mg daily. Titration on Zoloft to be increased to 50mg by the end of the first week and further increased to 100mg after another week. Starting at week 4, Alprazolam could be gradually tapered off and discontinued over the next 2 weeks. Meanwhile, referral is made by clinicians for the…
Critical Analysis Critique of Evidence In review of, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure as Treatment for Systemic Hypertension in People With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: Randomised Controlled Trial, (Duran-Cantolla et al. 2010), one strength included the study design; this was a randomized controlled trial. Other strengths consist of sample size, and the diagnosis of sleep apnea was conducted by the same method. In addition, the patients were newly diagnosed with hypertension, habitual snorers,…
In this project the aim is to determine the equilibrium constant (Kc) of a weak base when it reacts with a weak acid. The chemicals I wish to determine the equilibrium constant for are, Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) and Propanol (C3H7OH). To accomplish this, the first question we must ask is, “what is an equilibrium constant and how is it determined”? There are 2 different types of equilibrium. The first, and the type we shall be using is known as homogeneous equilibrium which has everything present…
