Pharmacodynamics Mechanisms of drug action: Drugs may act by: * A) Receptor mechanism: * Most drugs produce their action by binding to specific receptors located on the cell membrane (as adrenoceptors and cholinoceptors) or inside the cell (as steroid receptors). * This is the most important mechanism of drug action. * Drugs produce their effects by interacting with these receptors. * These drugs may be: a) Agonists: * Drugs have the affinity to bind with their

study by Yajima et al. (2015) details estimations of individual doses for returnees who were previously evacuated from the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. Individual estimates were made for different categories of evacuees who were meant to return to three designated Iitate Village‚ Kawauchi Village‚ and Tamura City in Fukushima. The data required for the estimates was obtained from measurements of individual doses and ambient external dose rates in occupational and residential settings. The ratio of both

(70% 1 dose‚ 30% 2-3 dose = 2.5 dose‚ thus an average persion would require an expected dosage of 0.7*1 + 0.3*2.5 = 1.45 dose). This is assuming that the cost of 1 dose anglomax = cost of 1 dose heparin. There is no information of cost per dose of heparin. B.

where the radiation dose can be delivered more precisely to the tumour. In comparison to 3DCRT‚ the dose can be escalated so that the tumour will receive a higher dose and normal tissues will receive a lower dose. Because 3DCRT does not modulate as precisely to the tumour‚ the patient can be at risk of a large amount of normal tissue receiving a higher dose of radiation. This will result in a lot more toxicities for the patient and conclude that the tumour will receive a lesser dose of radiation. It

At low doses‚ such as that received every day from background radiation‚ cellular damage is rapidly repaired. At higher levels‚ cell death results. At extremely high doses‚ cells cannot be replaced quickly enough‚ and tissues fail to function. Tissue Sensitivity In general‚ the radiation sensitivity of a tissue is: * proportional

Digoxin helps make the heart beat stronger and with a more regular rhythm. Digoxin is used to treat heart failure. Digoxin is also used to treat atrial fibrillation‚ a heart rhythm disorder of the atria (the upper chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow into the heart).
