    Acetaminophen Research Paper

    Imagine that you are at work and suddenly your head begins throbbing and you just can’t concentrate or focus on your tasks any longer. You take a quick ride to the corner store and grab a bottle of Tylenol™, toss a handful back with some bottled water and return to work. 30 minutes later you are keeled over with stomach pains and feelings of nausea, chills and fever all at the same time. This miserable experience is the onset of acetaminophen overdose. Commonly used over-the-counter pain medications such as Tylenol™, Motrin™ or Advil™ carry potential dangers, risks and long-term side effects of which many people…

    Vicodin

    Vicodin is prescription medication that is used to treat moderate to severe pain in adults. The two main ingredients in Vicodin are Hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone is considered to be a pain reliever that acts similarly to codine and is effective at decreasing the pain as well as relieving cough, however its can also cause drowsiness, mood changes, and metal “clouding”. Because of this reason the it can only be used when combined with another drug and not alone, as far as in the United States. Therefore its combined with acetaminophen, which is also a pain reliever along with a fever reducer. The combination of these two drugs helps improve acetaminophen’s effectiveness at relieving pain as well as limiting the potential abuse of Hydrocodone. The maximum dose of Vicodin is usually controlled by the amount of acetaminophen that it contains.…

    Risperdal

    Risperdal, or risperidone, is the newest medication for treating schizophrenia and psychotic disorders. It helps manage schizophrenia's "positive symptoms" such as visual and auditory hallucinations, delusions, and thought disturbances. Risperdal may also help in treating so-called "negative symptoms" such as social withdrawal, apathy, lack of motivation, and inability to experience pleasure. Side effects are usually relatively minor, and blood monitoring is not necessary. Risperdal is the first new front-line treatment option in twenty years.…

    Pesticide Penetration

    Pesticide Penetration

    The rapid absorption of pesticides through this specific route increases the hazard of respiratory exposure. The greatest potential for poisoning via respiratory exposure is with vapors and extremely fine particles of the spray solution. Pesticide exposure is usually low when dilute sprays are applied with common conventional spraying equipment because larger droplet sizes are produced. By contrast, when low volume equipment is used to apply concentrated material, the potential for a respiratory exposure is increased because smaller droplets are being produced. Pesticide application in confined areas (e.g. greenhouses) also contributes to increased potential for exposure through inhalation. Respirators and gas masks can provide protection from respiratory exposure. Eyes are particularly sensitive to absorption, and therefore any contact of pesticides with the eye presents an immediate threat of injury, blindness, or even death. Eye protection is always a prerequisite when measuring or mixing concentrated and toxic pesticides. Proper protection of the eyes also should be used when there is a chance of exposure to the diluted spray or dusts that may drift into the eyes. Pesticides in a granular formulation may also present a hazard to the eyes due to the size and weight of the individual particles. If applied with power equipment, particles may bounce off vegetation and cause significant eye injury as well as poisoning to an applicator if struck in sensitive body areas (i.e. the eye). Therefore, protective goggles should be used whenever there is possibility of pesticides coming into contact with the…

    Adderall Drugs

    Schedule II drugs are currently accepted for medical use in the United States. These drugs have many medical benefits, but are highly addictive and dangerous if not used correctly. They are classified by their ability to cause serious physical or physiological dependency. The drugs in this category include, but are not limited to, Adderall, Lortab, Vicodin, Hydrocodone, Percocet, and OxyContin. Many of these drugs are sold, illegally, on the streets. This only allows more people to feed the addiction that can result from the over-use of these type of drugs.…

    Schedule 2 Drugs

    I think that methamphetamines and cocaine should be a schedule I drug. The short term and long term effects can cause serious health conditions including brain damage, memory loss, psychotic-like behavior, heart damage, hepatitis, and HIV transmission," says Dr. Nora D. Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) (1) The use of methamphetamine has been proven repeatedly to be associated with irreversible damages to the brain. Even though the neurotransmitters in the brain may recover once the individual has abstained from the drug, the damages have already been done and the effects cannot be reversed.…

    Antidote Naloxone

    here has been an ever present threat within the United States that continues to grow at an alarming rate by the day; that threat is substance addiction. Nearly 38,000 deaths were linked to overdoses in 2009; that exceeds the total number of traffic violations for that year (“U.S Heroin Crisis”). Citizens and politicians continue to name it the number one “growing public health crisis” (“U.S Heroin Crisis”), but how do these users get addicted and what is the U.S doing to stop this so called “growing threat”? The U.S has recently deployed the overdose antidote Naloxone into the U.S, which has been a large area of debate between users and nonusers. This drug is a good way to get addicts on the road to recovery and a great way to train the average…

    Percocet

    I believe that television can influence children in good and bad ways. Depending of what types of shows and channels the kids are watching it could actually be a good thing. If a child is only allowed to watch kids shows, and kids’ channels they won’t learn anything bad. If children are just watching shows like Dora the Explorer and Jake’s Neverland Island, they aren’t going to learn anything bad; they may actually learn things that are beneficial. With Dora the Explorer they learn problem solving and also get introduced to some Mexican culture and Spanish. If you were to let a child watch adult shows though, it may not turn out very well. For instance, if you let a little girl grow up watching shows like Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant, they grow up thinking that the way these girls act is ok, because hey, if they’re on TV, they must be doing something right.…
