Objective and Background The objective of this experiment is to determine how the numbers of simulated particles‚ inhomogenities in the medium and the voxel size affect the simulations ability to calculate dose‚ as well as to understand the effects of cutoff energy on the Monte Carlo simulation (MC). Particle interactions are the cause of everything we know to exist‚ such as the bright lights that illuminate the room you are in or the heat you feel when you stay in the sun for too long. To understand

purification of ground water for drinking purpose. In present study various doses of Moringa oleifera seed powder like 50‚ 100 and 150 mg/l were taken and checked for the efficiency dose on raw groundwater. After treatment of water samples with Moringa oleifera seed powder were analyzed for different parameter like pH‚ turbidity‚ TDS‚ TS‚ hardness‚ chlorides‚ alkalinity‚ acidity‚ MPN and SPC. All parameters were reduced with increased dose of Moringa oleifera seed powder except alkalinity and pH. Application

the surgeon may wish to lower the blood pressure of the patient by administering a drug. After the surgery is over the return to normal of the blood pressure depends on the dose of the drug administered‚ and the average systolic blood pressure reached during surgery. A surgeon wishes to study the relationship between the dose of a new drug‚ the average systolic blood pressure during the operation and time for the blood pressure to come back to normal after administration of the drug has ceased

HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF METHADONE TREATMENT In the USA in the early 1960’s Dole and Nyswander introduced orally administered maintenance doses of the synthetic opioid methadone as a drug substitution treatment for opioid dependence. The main aims of the introduction of this treatment were to reduce illicit drug use and criminal acts. The treatment was devised for established opiate addicts

BP was persistently decreasing to 70/40mmhg. All the team were query why the BP was crashed dramatically. The team ask the patient whether he took antihypertensive drug before coming to the hospital‚ but he denied it. Then‚ the person in-charge of the patient noticed that GTN infusion was diluted in 50mg/ 10cc‚ so it means the dose of GTN infusion

administration. The parenteral routes are used for drugs that are poorly absorbed or that are unstable in the GI tract. The parenteral routes are used in unconscious patients or when a fast response is needed as it provides the most control over actual dose of the drug delivered into the system. [2] When a drug is administered it goes through four stages: absorbed‚ distributed‚ metabolised and eliminated. The absorption of the drug depends on first pass metabolism and bioavailability.
