Introduction: Lidocaine hydrochloride a local anaesthetic drug is widely used in skin anaesthesia. Rapid achievement of dermal anaesthesia without discomfort and pain is both disusable and difficult. Also the topical delivery of the drugs reaches the systemic circulation only in sub-therapeutic concentrations due to poor permeation and immiscible nature of the drug at skin pH. These limitations can by overcome by iontophoresis technique. Objective: The aim of the present study is to develop the invitro

What symptoms are likely? To add to your thoughts‚ the blood flow is likely to carry the embolus to the patient’s lungs. This is called a pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolisms usually originate in the legs‚ like in this case. They are caused by a blood clot that has traveled to your lungs. There

Equine influenza is a common respiratory infection of horses caused by an orthomyxovirus of the genus Influenza A. Influenza A viruses can be divided into sub-types on the basis of the antigenic reactivity of the surface glycoproteins‚ the haemagglutinin (H1-H16) and the neuraminidase (N1-N9) molecules (Fouchier et al.‚ 2005). Equine influenza (EI) is caused by two subtypes H7N7 and H3N8. Outbreaks due to H7N7 are limited as the isolation of the virus has not been reported since last two decades

Question 1. A. AIRWAY– Maintaining a clear airway is always considered a high priority because airway is essential for gas exchange (Ramkumar‚ 2011). However‚ the patient has a patent airway. Therefore‚ the nursing strategy is to conduct an airway assessment “look‚ listen and feel” continuously to detect any changes. This is to provide immediate respiratory care if the patient’s airway is compromised (Higginson‚ Jones & Davies‚ 2011). This is a low priority. B. BREATHING – Respiration is altered

Critical Analysis of Quantitative Research The researchers in this experiment aimed to “Investigate the quantitative differentiation of pulmonary dendritic cells in smoker with or without chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) to explore the possible role of dendritic cells in smokers suffering COPD” (Yan-wei‚ Yong-jiang‚ & Xian-sheng‚ 2010). Dendritic cells (DCs) are inflammatory cells that are considered to be the promoter of immune responses; knowing this the researchers hypothesized
