Uses of aminoglycosides - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Anti-infective agents Aminoglycosides *Gentamicin* - Narrow-spectrum antibiotic. Inhibits protein synthesis. They also inhibit transfer RNA from binding with messenger RNA. This synthesizes abnormal proteins due to incorrect reading of the genetic code, causes leaky cell wall. Bactericidal, larger doses kill faster. Side effect: ototoxicity (early signs: tinnitus, headache, ataxia, and vertigo), nephrotoxicity (polyuria, dilute urine, protein and casts in the urine, and an elevation in BUN...

Drug molecules bound to plasma proteins are pharmacologically inactive. Only the free or unbound portions of the drug acts on the cells. Protein binding allows for some of the drug to be stored and others to be rel...

metabolic - both pH and bicarb are in same direction respiratory - in opposite directions normal pH - 7.35-7.45 normal bicarb - 22-26 (2+2+2=6) When pH is high - Alkalosis. everything is high, K+ is low. Ex: hyperreflexia, irritable, taco, When pH is low - Acidosis. everything is low, K+ is high. Ex: lethargic, Brady Mac Kussmaul - The only acid base to cause Kussmaul respirations is Metabolic ACidosis patient over ventilating - pick alkalosis patient under ventilating - pick acidosis m...

NRNP 6566 Midterm Study Guide 2024 with Complete Solutions. Week 1 1. Describe the cytochrome P450 system. Describe how inducers and inhibitors affect the cytochrome system and how that affects the half-life of medications. Cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are a superfamily of enzymes containing heme as a cofactor that function as monooxygenases. In mammals, these proteins oxidize steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics, and are important for the clearance of various compounds, as well as for hormon...
