FINAL PT 2 Flashcards
immunizing agents as referred to by the Food and Drug Administration.
biologics, biologicals
refers to a substance produced by a living source and includes antibiotics, hormones, and vitamins, among others.
biologicals
immunizing agents as referred to by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
immunologicals
any virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin or analogous product which is employed for the prevention, treatment, or cure of diseases in humans according to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
biological products
defined as the natural or acquired resistance to disease.
immunity
Among human races there are differences in susceptibility to common infections (yellow fever, pneumonia, tuberculosis).
racial immunity
Some individuals also demonstrate decreased capacity to resist skin disorders, common colds, and other familiar diseases. The natural resistance of the same individual may vary from time to time.
individual immunity
this type develops within an individual response to the introduction of antigenic substances into his/her body.
active immunity
this may occur by natural means, as by injection.
naturally acquired active immunity
it may be developed in response to the administration of a specific vaccine or toxoid
artificially acquired active immunity
occurs by the introduction of the immunoglobulins produced in other individual (human or lower animals).
passive acquired immunity
occurs by placental transmission of immunoglobulin G (IgG) from the mother to the fetus, the infant may have passive immunity to diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, and other infections for the first 4 to 6 months of life.
naturally acquired passive immunity
are administered primarily for prophylactic action in the development of active immunity (acquired).
naturally acquired passive immunity
composed of killed whole bacteria or viruses or
substructures of these.
activated vaccine
contain live but weakened microorganisms
attenuated vaccine
bacterial toxins modified and detoxified by the use of moderate heat and chemical treatment so that the antigenic properties remain while the substance is rendered nontoxic
toxoids
it do not cause diseases, however, exposure of immune competent patients may result in antibody production that will protect the patient against disease caused by the naturally occurring toxin.
toxoids
Biologicals for Active Immunity
bacterial vaccines
viral vaccines
cancer vaccines
toxoids
Types of Biologicals for Passive Immunity
Human Immune Sera and Globulins (Homologous Sera)
Animal Immune Sera (Heterologous Sera)
Biologics are sensitive to extreme temperatures, and exposure to heat or freezing can decrease their potency and dramatically reduce their effectiveness.
pharmaceutical dosage forms and drug delivery systems applied topically to the eye include solutions, suspensions, gels, ointments, and drug-impregnated inserts.
ophthalmic preparations
most preparations are intended for intranasal use contain adrenergic agents and are employed for their decongestant activity on the nasal mucosa
nasal preparations
Most of these preparations are in solution form and are administered as nose drops or spray, however, a few are available as jellies.
nasal preparations
are sometimes referred to as ear or aural preparations.
otic preparations
a radioactive pharmaceutical agent or drug that is used for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
radiopharmaceuticals
used to diagnose diseases or evaluate the progression of disease following specific therapy intervention.
radiopharmaceuticals
are useful to evaluate a patient’s response to drug therapy and surgery. These agents can detect early changes in physiologic function that come before morphologic or biochemical end points.
radiopharmaceuticals
allows the physician to secure a patient image that is essentially a low-resolution “autoradiograph” showing the regional concentration of a positron-emitting nuclide inside the living body.
positron emission tomography
It is a method for quantitative imaging of regional function and chemical reactions within various organs of the living human body.
positron emission tomography
used to treat glaucoma through its diuretic action has been shown to increase cerebral blood flow following its IV administration.
azetazolamide
used to help diagnose renovascular hypertension.
captopril
reduces the volume and concentration of stomach acids.
cimetidine
used as an alternative to a treadmill stress test prior to cardiac imaging.
dipyridamole
