The history of urticaria is a fascinating account of mankind gradually growing to understand human diseases. The process starts with the many different names this disease has been given to in the past. The school of Hippocrates in 4th century BC recognized urticaria with nettles. The roman school instead focused on its burning sensation and is where Plinius named it uredo. In the 10th century, Hali Ben Abbas used the name essera because it means mountain or elevation, alluding that the welt is above
Vancomycin Vancomycin can be classified to the Glycopeptide antibiotic group. • Vancomycin was first discoverd by Eli Lilly, from a soil sample which is collected from the jungles of Borneo. It is a naturally obtained antibiotic produced by the soil bacterium Actinobacteria species Amycolatopsis orientalis • The one advantage that was apparent is that staphylococci did not develop very strong resistance inspite of introducing it several times in culture media with vancomycin • The drug fast tracked
Exposure to food colorants occurs during a majority of the meals that people consume every day, and these colorants can have certain effects on the human body. Many consumers do not show signs of being affected by food colorants; however, some specific diseases and disorders, such as ADHD, can be aggravated by colorants in addition to general ailments such as nausea, headaches, and irritability (Walford, 1984). Both natural and synthetic colorants can cause reactions, and approximately fifty years

two times a day for a week. (CDC 2015) Azithromycin is effective in treating C. trachomatis infections because it works by binding to the 50S ribosome, which in turn stops protein synthesis. Some major adverse effects include cholestatic jaundice, angioedema, and palpitations. Doxycycline binds to the 30S ribosome, also stopping protein synthesis. Some adverse effects of Doxycycline include neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and Stevens-Johnson
The use and abuse of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids In a world of increasingly competitive sports, many collegiate and professional athletes test positive for the abuse of illegal performance enhancing drugs. A common drug used is known as the Anabolic-Androgenic steroid. The proper use of AAS when administered by health officials can help individuals with particular health conditions and hormone deficiencies. When an individual takes higher levels of AAS then what the body may require naturally,
Necessity to conduct the test: Allergy test are done to determine the object that may be responsible to cause an allergic reaction to a person. The reasons which may call for a test are: “Food allergies” “contact dermatitis” “Penicillin allergy” “Angioedema and hives” Symptoms that are not easily controlled with medications like ‘Allergic rhinitis and asthma’ History, to detect the potential allergens (the substance suspected to have caused the allergy) It may start with the first visit one
Seizures are defined as “paroxysmal, uncontrolled electrical discharge of neurons in the brain that interrupts normal function” (Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper, Butcher, & Camera, 20011). Seizures can be caused by various things from head trauma to a disease process. There are several types of seizures. These include absence partial and generalized seizures. They can also vary in intensity ranging from mild to full blown. Seizures can cause severe complications and should be treated or the cause of the
cause sensitivity to cold. This medication may mask signs of hypoglycemia, so blood glucose levels should be closely monitored. (Davis,2017) • Lisinopril- Nurse should monitor patient BP and pulse before and during therapy and check for signs of angioedema, if present discontinue therapy. Weight should be monitored and assessed for fluid overload. Patient should take medication at the same time every day and avoid food containing high levels of potassium or sodium due to the risk of hyperkalemia.
metabolic effects on muscle, bone, and skin (Goldman 72). Anabolic steroid’s main purpose isn’t to gain muscle they are used as medicine. They help with types of anemia, a few types of breast cancers, endometriosis, osteoporosis, and hereditary angioedema (NIDA 2). But anabolic steroids are often taken at 10 to 100 times the natural levels by athletes looking to be their best (Yesalis xxv). The two basic forms steroids come in are water-based and oil-based. The water-based are pil... ... middle

Mary complains of persistent fatigue and a vague feeling of malaise. She denies having shortness of breath or chest pains but states that she "barely does anything more physical
What is type I hypersensitivity? Type I hypersensitivity is also called immediate or anaphylactic hypersensitivity. The reaction may include skin, eyes, nasopharynx, bronchopulmonary tissues and gastrointestinal tract. Hypersensitivity may cause a variety of symptoms from minor health problems to death. The reaction usually takes 15 - 30 minutes from the time of exposure to the antigen, although sometimes it may have a delayed onset from 10 - 12 hours. (#1) Immediate hypersensitivity is mediated
potassium level should be monitored as it can cause hyperkalemia. Patient can develop hepatic failure, therefore patient who develop jaundice or marked hepatic enzyme elevations should immediately discontinue the medicine. Lisinopril can cause angioedema and patient need to be educated about this. Impaired renal function is possible, therefore patient taking Lisinopril need to monitor their renal function periodically. The effectiveness of the treatment can be monitored thorough the monitoring of

Antibiotic premedication therapy is valuable to those who require it. The

The revealing of the reaction are clinically revealed by urticaria and/or angioedema, rhinitis, bronchospasm, and anaphylactic shock.

Anabolic Steroid is a synthetic version of the male hormone. Anabolic Steroid was first created in the early 1930s by scientist to help treat males with low amount of hormones. During World War II the artificial form of testosterone was used to help malnourished soldiers to gain weight and improve performance (Center for Substance Abuse Research, 2013). After the war ended, athletes started to use steroids when they entered competitions. In the 1956 Olympics, Soviet athletes were performing at high
Question d, Physical Examination rationale for methodology BP Blood pressure reflects the pressure that is exerted on the walls of the arteries. Varying with cardiac cycle, high with systole and low with diastole. A measurement of the pressure of the blood in the arteries. As ventricles contract you have systolic blood pressure and when the ventricles relax you have diastolic blood pressure. Expressed as a ratio of the systolic over diastolic pressure external influences like caffeine, nicotine
Drugs should be banned in all sports. They have been a problem for a long time. Athletes use them to enhance their body and for simply just the edge. There is nothing wrong with using some drugs to enhance your body as long as they are legal. The problems that come with drugs in sports are how to detect them. Some professional sports, such as the NHL, do not even use drug tests. The only sports that test for everything are the NBA and NFL. The Major League Baseball only tests for illegal drugs such
Ever since the discovery of antibiotics in the 1920’s, treating bacterial infections in humans, and animals alike, has emerged as a revolutionary possibility. Antibiotics are drugs that are naturally produced by bacteria or fungus to defend against other bacteria via death or inhibiting reproduction (1). Since their detection, antibiotics have been diversified into many different forms and classes which are arranged by mode of action. Glycopeptides are a class of antibiotics which are composed of
anabolism (building), stimulates production of sperm, and has metabolic effects on muscle, bone, and skin (Goldman 72). Anabolic steroids are used medically to treat types of anemia, some breast cancers, osteoporosis, endometriosis, and hereditary angioedema (NIDA 2). But anabolic steroids are often taken at 10 to 100 times the natural, physiological levels by athletes looking for an edge in training (Yesalis xxv). Steroids come in two basic forms: water-based and oil-based. The water-based are taken
