  2. Intravenous sugar solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous_sugar_solution

    Types of glucose/dextrose include: D5W (5% dextrose in water), which consists of 278 mmol/L dextrose; D5NS (5% dextrose in normal saline), which, in addition, contains normal saline (0.9% w/v of NaCl). D5 1/2NS 5% dextrose in half amount of normal saline (0.45% w/v of NaCl). [10] D5LR (5% dextrose in lactated Ringer solution) D50 – 50% ...

  4. Effective dose (pharmacology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_dose_(pharmacology)

    The median effective dose is the dose that produces a quantal effect (all or nothing) in 50% of the population that takes it (median referring to the 50% population base). [6] It is also sometimes abbreviated as the ED 50, meaning "effective dose for 50% of the population". The ED50 is commonly used as a measure of the reasonable expectancy of ...

  5. EC50 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EC50

    The EC 50 of a quantal dose response curve represents the concentration of a compound where 50% of the population exhibit a response, [5] after a specified exposure duration. For clarification, a graded dose response curve shows the graded effect of the drug (y axis) over the dose of the drug (x axis) in one or an average of subjects.

  6. IC50 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC50

    IC 50 values are typically expressed as molar concentration. IC 50 is commonly used as a measure of antagonist drug potency in pharmacological research. IC 50 is comparable to other measures of potency, such as EC 50 for excitatory drugs. EC 50 represents the dose or plasma concentration required for obtaining 50% of a maximum effect in vivo. [1]

  7. Bioavailability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioavailability

    To ensure that the drug taker who has poor absorption is dosed appropriately, the bottom value of the deviation range is employed to represent real bioavailability and to calculate the drug dose needed for the drug taker to achieve systemic concentrations similar to the intravenous formulation. [4]

  8. Oral rehydration therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_rehydration_therapy

    After visiting with women in several villages, they hit upon the idea of encouraging the women in the village to make their own oral rehydration fluid. They used available household equipment, starting with a "half a seer" (half a quart) of water and adding a fistful of sugar and a three-finger pinch of salt.

  9. Inverted sugar syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_sugar_syrup

    Holding a sucrose solution at temperatures of 50–60 °C (122–140 °F) hydrolyzes no more than about 85% of its sucrose. Finding α {\displaystyle \alpha } when r = 0.85 shows that the optical rotation of the solution after hydrolysis is done is −12.7° this reaction is said to invert the sugar because its final optical rotation is less ...
