  2. Methacrylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methacrylic_acid

    In the most common route, methacrylic acid is prepared from acetone cyanohydrin, which is converted to methacrylamide sulfate using sulfuric acid. This derivative in turn is hydrolyzed to methacrylic acid, or esterified to methyl methacrylate in one step. Another route to methacrylic acid starts with isobutylene, which obtainable by dehydration ...

  3. Chelation therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelation_therapy

    Chelation therapy is a medical procedure that involves the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. [1] Chelation therapy has a long history of use in clinical toxicology [2] and remains in use for some very specific medical treatments, although it is administered under very careful medical supervision due to various inherent risks, including the mobilization of ...

  4. Cetirizine - Wikipedia

    The drug is bound to albumin with high affinity, while α 1-acid glycoprotein and lipoproteins contribute much less to total plasma protein binding. [7] The unbound or free fraction of levocetirizine has been reported to be 8%. [7] The true volume of distribution of cetirizine is unknown but is estimated to be 0.3 to 0.45 L/kg.

  5. Methyl methacrylate - Wikipedia

    The conversion uses N 2 O 4 and nitric acid at 5–10 °C in the liquid phase. After esterification and dehydration MMA is obtained. Challenges with this route, aside from yield, involve the handling of large amounts of nitric acid and NO x. This method was discontinued in 1965 after an explosion at an operation plant. [10]

  6. Gastroesophageal reflux disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastroesophageal_reflux...

    The use of acid suppression therapy is a common response to GERD symptoms and many people get more of this kind of treatment than their case merits. [50] [57] [58] [52] [51] [59] The overuse of acid suppression is a problem because of the side effects and costs. [50] [58] [52] [51] [59]

  7. Anticoagulant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticoagulant

    An anticoagulant, commonly known as a blood thinner, is a chemical substance that prevents or reduces the coagulation of blood, prolonging the clotting time. [1] Some occur naturally in blood-eating animals, such as leeches and mosquitoes, which help keep the bite area unclotted long enough for the animal to obtain blood.

  8. Midodrine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midodrine

    Midodrine is a prodrug which forms the active metabolite, desglymidodrine, which is an α 1-adrenergic receptor agonist and exerts its actions via activation of α 1-adrenergic receptors of the arteriolar and venous vasculature, producing an increase in vascular tone and elevation of blood pressure.

  9. Electroconvulsive therapy - Wikipedia

    These treatment parameters can pose significant differences in both adverse side effects and symptom remission in the treated patient. Placement can be bilateral, where the electric current is passed from one side of the brain to the other, or unilateral, in which the current is solely passed across one hemisphere of the brain.
