Gonane is a tetracyclic hydrocarbon with no double bonds. It is formally the parent compound of the steroids, hence it is called the "steroid nucleus". [1] [4] [5] Some important gonane derivatives are the steroid hormones, characterized by methyl groups at the C10 and C13 positions and a side chain at the C17 position.
Phenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with formula C 14 H 10, consisting of three fused benzene rings. It is a colorless, crystal-like solid, but can also appear yellow. Phenanthrene is used to make dyes, plastics, pesticides, explosives, and drugs. It has also been used to make bile acids, cholesterol and steroids. [3]
Intrathecal administration is a route of administration for drugs via an injection into the spinal canal, or into the subarachnoid space so that it reaches the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is useful in several applications, such as for spinal anesthesia, chemotherapy, or pain management. This route is also used to introduce drugs that fight ...
Intravenous therapy (abbreviated as IV therapy) is a medical technique that administers fluids, medications and nutrients directly into a person's vein.The intravenous route of administration is commonly used for rehydration or to provide nutrients for those who cannot, or will not—due to reduced mental states or otherwise—consume food or water by mouth.
The IO route of fluid and medication administration is an alternative to the preferred intravascular route when the latter cannot be established promptly in emergent situations. Intraosseous infusions are used when people have compromised intravenous access and need immediate delivery of life-saving fluids and medications.
If it is given by injection into a vein without making it approximately isotonic, breakdown of red blood cells may occur. [3] This can then result in kidney problems. [3] Excessive amount may also result in fluid overload. [4] Water for injection is generally made by distillation or reverse osmosis. [5]
Cyclopentane (also called C pentane) [4] is a highly flammable alicyclic hydrocarbon with chemical formula C 5 H 10 and CAS number 287-92-3, consisting of a ring of five carbon atoms each bonded with two hydrogen atoms above and below the plane.
The traditional procedure of ID injection known as the Mantoux procedure (as used in the Mantoux test) involves injecting at angle of administration of 5 to 15 degrees angle, almost against the skin. With bevel (opening) side up, the needle is inserted about 1 ⁄ 8 inch (3 mm) with the entire bevel inside and injected while watching for a ...
