They are generally cells that are independent of any regulatory mechanism in the system. Both HIV and cancer funny enough share some similarities and one of which is that they could be both highly invasive. The invasiveness of a pathogen makes it much more dangerous because, they will continue to attack healthy and normal…
The Pharmacodynamics of drugs From our main last discussion on the pharmacokinetics of drugs, we where able to understand that pharmacokinetics means, the processes involved in a drug's absorption, distribution, metabolism and the excretion of its toxic or non toxic metabolites from the systemic circulation. We were able to understand that pharmacokinetics simply means how the body handles a drug. Today, we will succinctly discuss the about Pharmacodynamics and it's…
Critical overview on what drugs do to human body Drugs that are commonly associated with tolerance are the opiods and alcohols. These drugs induce the hepatic enzyme - cytochrome P450 leading to accelerated metabolism of the drugs. What happens when you are tolerant to a drug is that, you will need higher dose of that same drug to produce same effect subsequently. It is also possible to develop resistance to a drug. Resistance to a drug usually happens when you do not take a…
Advent of novel pharmacokinetic drug enhancers You may no longer have to worry much about continually loading those pack of drugs in a bid to get cured of an ailment or worried about the easy degradation of drug by the liver enzymes. Pharmacokinetic enhancers come in handy especially when a drug is easily metabolised (degraded by liver enzymes - the cytochrome family of enzymes) thus the need for continuous administration of the drug but bearing in mind that at some point,…
Do you know why elderly people are predisposed to diabetes The Up and Down regulations of receptors In a situation where there is a chronic or continuous and increased exposure of a receptor to a ligand or drugs that acts as an antagonist (has inhibitory function), this results to an upregulation (increase) in the number of the receptors but when the receptor is exposed to an Agonist (promoter), it results to a downregulation or decrease in the receptor numbers on the cell…
Introduction of overview of nose mask A good and standard surgical face mask has three layers. The outer, first or coloured layer is regarded as the fluid-repelling layer (hydrophobic). This layer primarily prevents any fluids from gaining access into the nose mask. Next is the middle layer that basically serves as the barrier or hindrance to germs, it is more like the filter. It does the primary job of trapping germs, bacteria and viruses particles that might have escaped…
The effectiveness of respirators Surgical mask are less effective in protection when compared to N95 respirators which are well designed and suited for to filter off infectious particles in a more stringent way. Healthcare providers are more in use of the N95 respirators because they offer better protection than the surgical masks since these people are much closer to the critically ill patients with Corona virus. It is important that you know this, surgical mask are not…
The economic trend since the onset of Corona virus This article is intended to enlighten the reader on the principle of filtration involving nose mask, uncovering the main facts about different types of PPE (Personal protective equipment), how to identify original nose mask, basic qualities a standard nose mask must have, the proper way a nose mask must be worn against the falsely spread methods of usage, why N95 and N100 are much better protective than surgical mask, health…
How hiv and cancer damage the human body through their virulency The term virulence simply means the degree of disease causing ability of an infectious agent. HIV is one heck of a virus that has so far defied science through its non availability of drug for permanent cure. HIV virus just as earlier said, has high attraction for CD4 cells or T-helper cells that play major role in protecting the body system against infection. The major reason why HIV is more attracted to the…
