Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors Electro Convulsive Therapy
1,616 wordsIntroduction Description A depressive disorder is a whole-body illness, involving your body, mood, and thoughts. It affects the way you eat and sleep, the way you feel about yourself, and the way you think about things. A depressive disorder is not the same as a passing blue mood.

Efflux pumps are what microbes use to rid themselves of toxic materials and drugs. The way science is perusing this is to attach these pumps with compounds called efflux-pump inhibitors. These compounds have no infection fighting power but can make current antimicrobial drugs more effective (Christensen). Microbes that caused sickness in the pre anti...

Protease Inhibitors Opportunistic Infections
1,192 wordsA disease is an abnormality of an animal or plant, caused by a pathogenic organism. Therefore, disease resistance is the ability to withstand the attack of these pathogens and remain virtually unaffected. The disease may be infectious (communicable), caused by invading organisms that live parasitically on or within the body. The disease causing organisms include viruses, some bacteria and certain other organisms that may be passed from person to person e. g. Plasmodium that causes malaria. Other...

Active Transport Membrane Potential
2,258 wordsEffects Of Solutions On Ion Transport Across Membranes Abstract Concentration gradients exist between two different salt molarity solutions on opposite sides of a membrane. Movement of ions across these sides can be achieved by either active or passive diffusion. In our first three experiments we used these concentration gradients to determine the characteristics of selective permeability of an artificial membrane to potassium chloride (KCl), the potential difference across the skin of a frog, R...
