studied compounds. Using quantitative structure activity relationships allows for the activity or toxicity of compounds to be predicted. Quantitative structure activity relationships are important to study because being able to predict, model, and analyze chemicals, and chemical compounds are important. One application of quantitative structure activity relationships is to examine the activity and toxicity that new drugs, that people take, have. The metabolism of the new drugs can also be…

consuming enough protein daily. I was particularly interested in the “Debate “regarding super-fortified foods. As I try to get in the recommended daily amount of protein I often turn to a protein bar for supplementation. Although I don’t worry about toxicity as I limit myself to one protein bar a day, it is a concern that I had not considered before. Certainly my young adult daughters fall victim to the trendy vitamin water and convenient protein bars. When considering the argument of whether…

temperature. When the body is balanced it keeps conditions right for cells to live and function. Homeostasis process is very vital to being a healthy patient. If homeostasis becomes imbalanced disease and cellular malfunction are caused by deficiency or toxicity. Cells become blocked and has a limited or no supply of vitamins or minerals. When homeostasis becomes…

I nodded and told him that I never had pain in my jawbone. I wanted to know why cavitations form. He explained to me that bone requires a good blood supply and circulation to keep it healthy. Several factors contribute. Cavitations can happen naturally. The third molars (wisdom teeth) are an example. When the tooth erupts the jawbone around it dissolves to allow the tooth to surface. If the tooth is impacted, the bone will sometimes die and become infected. Due to the design of the channel for…

solid tumors - primary & metastatic - irrespective of their anatomical location in the body or pathological sub-type – and permeating drug molecules into the targeted tumor mass, will improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce life-threatening systemic toxicities induced by routinely administered chemotherapeutic regimens. Creating molecular dimension-specific temporary pores in the cell membrane using precisely computed, safe radiofrequencies (RF) from an external source, to non-invasively deliver…

BILIRUBIN Bilirubin is an orange -yellow substance which is made during the breaking down of RBC’s. It is excreted out of the body through liver. The test results for Bilirubin are stated as conjugated (direct), unconjugated (indirect) . Higher level of bilirubin indicates different types of liver problems. Normal level of total bilirubin is 1.2 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) for adults, and usually 1 mg/dL for those under 18 and for direct bilirubin are generally 0.3 mg/dL. A bilirubin test…

animal studies: "What have we learned from preclinical juvenile toxicity studies? II" and Juvenile animal testing in drug development--is it useful? discuss whether such studies offer helpful or actionable data, while one more paper, Use of juvenile animal studies to support oncology medicine development in children, states that the data are helpful, as nearly a one fourth of drugs the author analyzed revealed some variations in toxicity among adult and juvenile…

Should Adrenaline Fatigue Patients be Tested for Iodine Deficiency? In the human body, iodine deficiency and adrenaline fatigue are correlated. This phenomenon is not new to the world of medicine. Yet, it is largely ignored, inadequately researched, and poorly understood by scientists, physicians, nutritionists, and medical practitioners all across the globe. This article focuses on the link between iodine deficiency and adrenaline fatigue. It also stresses on the need for adequate iodine in…
