Lesson 3.7 Flashcards
It is the number of milliosmoles per liter of solution (mOsm/L), or the concentration of molecules per volume of solution.
Sometimes the difference between the two measurements is insignificant
OSMOLARITY
It controls the distribution and movement of water between body compartments. It is also the number of milliosmoles per kilogram of water (mOsm/kg), or the concentration of molecules per weight of water.
OSMOLALITY
These are high-density pharmacologic agents used to visualize low-contrast tissues in the body, such as the vasculature, kidneys, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and biliary tree.
Radiopaque Contrast Agents (ROCM)
Act at the cellular level to destroy, inhibit, or suppress the cell wall, enzymatic activity, or ribosomal or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) function of an invading microorganism.
ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS
ANTIBIOTICS
ANTIFUNGALS
ANTIVIRAL
ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS
Therapeutic agents used to kill or suppress pathogenic microorganisms responsible for causing infectious diseases.
Antibiotics
Penicillins. cephalosporins, tetracyclines, lincosamides and nitroimidazoles
COMMON DRUGS of antibiotics
It is the movement of water acroos a semipermeable membrane.
OSMOSIS
Kill off rapidly growing (e.g., cancerous) cells of the human body by altering or destroying the various stages in cellular division.
CHEMOTHERAPY AGENTS
adriamycin, etoposide, vincristine, VP-16, cyclophosphamide, bleomycin, fluorouracil, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, methotrexate, and nitrogen mustard.
COMMON DRUGS in Chemotherapy Agents
used in GI examinations not only to reveal the presence of the organ, but also to penetrate the contrast media to see the walls and inner structures.
HIGHER KILOVOLTAGE (above 90 kVp)
usually selected to produce high-contrast radiographs of the blood vessels or genitourinary tract.
LOW-KILOVOLTAGE (below 80 kVp)
Suppress and limit the spread or shedding of viruses that invade the human body.
ANTIVIRAL
acyclovir, famciclovir, ganciclovir, ribavirin. valacyclovir, valganciclovir, rimantadine, foscarnet, and interferon.
COMMON DRUGS in antiviral
atomic number 53
atomic number 56
Iodine
Barium
