Cos’è una zoonosi
Con il termine zoonosi si intende una qualsiasi malattia infettiva che può essere trasmessa dagli animali (escluso l’uomo) all’uomo, direttamente o indirettamente
il vettore della Leishmania donovani
Flebotomo
tattamento della dissenteria amebica

Quale test diagnostico conferma il tifo addominale

Cosa sono i dermatofagoidi
Principali costituenti allergenici della polvere domestica
What class of drug is divided into ergot and not ergot derived?
dopamino-agonisti
Bioavailaibility
Fraction of administered drug reaching systemic circulation unchanged. For an i.v. dose, F = 100%.
Orally: F typically < 100% due to incomplete absorption and first-pass metabolism.
Volume di distribuzione
Theoretical volume occupied by the total amount of drug in the body relative to its plasma concentration.
Vd =amount of drug in the body/plasma drug concentration
Half-life t1/2
The time required to change the amount of drug in the body by 1⁄2 during elimination.
In first-order kinetics, a drug infused at a constant rate takes 4–5 half-lives to reach steady state. It takes 3.3 half-lives to reach 90% of the steady-state level.
t1/2 =(0.7 × Vd)/CL in first-order elimination
Zero order drug elimination
rate of elimination is constant regardless of Cp. Cp decreases LINEARLY with time. examples of drugs (Phenytoin, Ethanol, and Aspirin).
[PEA (a pea is round, shaped like the “0” in
zero-order)]
First order elimination
Rate of First-order elimination is directly proportional to the drug concentration. Cp decreases EXPONENTIALLY with time.
Metabolism first order reactions
Reduction, Oxidation, Hydrolysis with cytochrome p-450.
R-OH
Metabolism second order reactions
conjugation (Methylation, Glucuronidation, Acetylation, Sulfation).
usually yields very polar, inactive metabolites (renally excreted).

Differences between artrosi e artrite reumatoide clinicamente
Artrosi: Pain in weight-bearing joints after use (eg,
at the end of the day), improving with REST.
Asymmetric joint involvement.
Artrite Reumatoide: pain, swelling and morning stiffness > 1 hour, improving with USE. Symmetric joint involvement.
