- Diazepam is used as a skeletal muscle relaxant and as a sedative administered before surgery, as well as a treatment for anxiety. For children above the age of 6 months who suffer from anxiety disorders, diazepam is administered at a reduced dosage. Suppose a child with a body surface area (BSA) of 0.8 m2 is to receive a dose of diazepam divided into three administrations. Using the BSA rule and assuming that an adult dose of diazepam is 12 mg, what are the daily dose and the dose per administration? mgarrow_forwardWrite a detailed note on Boron and Its application in Cancer treatment.arrow_forwardDogs used as subjects in laboratory experiments live in stacked metal cages with only fluorescent light, never walk on grass, and associate humans with pain. In toxicology testing, they are exposed to toxins at increasing levels to determine at what point they become ill. Before a beagle can be rescued, the laboratory has to agree to release it, which can be a challenge. If the laboratory is willing, the Beagle Freedom Project still has to negotiate, which usually means paying for all costs, including veterinary care and transportation, and absolving the laboratory of all liability, and then find the dog a home. Alternatives to testing on beagles include three-dimensional human-skin-equivalent systems and a variety of advanced computer-based models for measuring skin irritation, for instance. According to the New England Anti-Vivisection Society, nonanimal tests are often more cost-effective, practical, and expedient; some produce results in a significantly shorter time.

- The American Heart Association and other health organizations have concluded that consumers should get their antioxidants from foods rather than supplements. They add that taking supplements may even be harmful. Supplement manufacturers claim that such statements are unfair and that their natural botanical extracts provide numerous health benefits. In fact, some suggest that beneficial effects can only be achieved by taking high-dose supplements. Given that there are currently no DRI defining the kinds of antioxidants or the daily quantities needed, how might you ensure a healthy intake of antioxidants? If you decide to take an antioxidant supplement, how might you research the product to determine its safety and effectiveness?arrow_forwardShow the Effects of Radiation on Life and Nuclear Medicinearrow_forwardExplain what is Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
