Introduction

Dextropropoxyphene is a drug used as a painkiller. The mild opioid can alleviate long-term or short-term pains. Dextropropoxyphene is an opioid that is a morphine-related drug. It acts on the neural system in the spine and the brain and hence relieves pain. The drug has been available for use by blending it with other drugs or on its own. In the recent past, use of the drug has been rejected by several countries, among them Australia, because of safety reasons. In Australia, the drug has been recently in March 2012 following discoveries that Dextropropoxyphene can cause changes in the electrical activity ...

Abstract

Firms make strategic and operational decisions every day. Firms must make decisions that are consistent with the mission, vision and objectives of the firm. The sole purpose of any business is to maximize owner wealth. In order to maximize owner’s wealth, businesses must maximize revenues while minimizing costs. When a firm is choosing which manufacturing process to adopt, the firm must carry out a lead cost analysis in order determine which of the possible alternatives has the lowest cost. The firm also needs to consider other qualitative factors that may not be reflected in the costs directly.

ABSTRACT

This is a scientific lab report prepared after an empirical observation. The main experiment is the synthesis of 1,4-Dihydropyridine. A simple dihydropyridine from a simple reactant (formaldehyde, ammonium acetate and 2,4-pentanedione ), is synthesized. The final part of this work deals with the determination of reasonable mechanisms for this synthesis.

INTRODUCTION

Abstract

Organizations make decisions on a daily basis. Organizations must make decisions that are in tandem with their objectives, mission and vision. Most trading organizations are formed with the objective of making profits. In order to maximize profits businesses must maximize revenues, minimize costs or both. When faced with a decision concerning which manufacturing process to adopt, organizations must conduct a lead cost analysis to determine which alternative has a lower cost. The organization must also evaluate other non-cost factors that may influence their decision.

Introduction and Literature Review

The value for a drug is significantly impacted by the dissolution rate, chemical stability and solubility of the drugs thereby impacting the pharmaceuticals efficiency as well. In the pharmaceutical industry multi-component crystals such as hydrates, solvates, co-crystals and salts have a major role during the design of new solids. Solid does not self-crystallize. It crystallizes in varied forms depicting random crystal properties. Various approaches are used to modify solids like Salting, Solvation, Hydration, and Polymorphism. Apart from these approaches, Co-Crystallization is a promising new approach to modifying solids (Nauha, ...

- Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure are some of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity with Australia being one of the country’s most greatly affected (McLean, Esclick & Coats, 2006). An area of interest in the pathology of heart failure is the significance that polymorphisms of adrenergic receptor genes have on the outcomes of patients with heart failure. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs that occur in the genes that encode for adrenergic receptors are known to have various physiological and functional consequences. Specifically, the β1-adrenergic receptors have a crucial role in the regulation of heart rate and ...

Introduction

Pain is an essential part of the body’s defense system which is perceived as an unpleasant feeling. Pain produces a quick warning to the central nervous system to start motor response as a minimization of harm. Lack of pain perception is dangerous can cause grave problems such as Auto-amputation, corneal scarring or self-mutilation. Researchers in the medical profession have distinguished between pain and what is known as nociception. Nociception occurs when signals get to the central nervous system as a result of the activation of nociceptors (Svokos & Goldstein, 2009). Nociceptors are special sensory receptors which relay information regarding tissue damage. Pain ...

Executive Summary

Health policy is particularly unique and unlike public policy in other areas, has some characteristics that set it out as a special kind of policy. Perhaps this is the reason why it attracts substantial political attention. The interest groups of health policy – the patients, the professionals, the government, the policy makers, the government and the non-governmental bodies – are keener on the changes in such policy than are stakeholders of other forms of social policy. This report focuses on health policy, with special attention to the ideas fronted by Dutton (2013), for his coalition regarding the Medicare locals. The policy is ...
