being “immune privileged,” and how it works
b. What are the immune cells of the CNS and their functions? c.
What branch of the immune system is absent from the healthy
CNS?
Risk is defined as toxicity * exposure. For effects on human
health, the toxicity component of this equation is determined
differently if there is a threshold than if there is no threshold
for toxic effects. Compare and contrast the cancer slope factor
with a reference dose as measures of toxicity used in equations of
risk.
What percentage of total ammonia (NH3 + NH4+) is present as
ammonia (NH3) at pH of 7 and pH of 9 if pKa for NH4+ is 9.3. Based
on your answer, explain whether low pH is more favorable or high pH
for aquatic organisms.
Ammonia can be synthesized by the reaction:
3H2+N2=>2NH3
What is the theoretical yield of ammonia, in kilograms, that
we can synthesize from 5.35 kg of H2 and 31.8 kg of N2?
What organs are susceptible to toxicity with antimicrobials?
What signs and symptoms would alert the nurse to toxicity with
each?
What is a peak and trough?
With IV administration of some antimicrobials, what should be
assessed for at the administration site?
