  2. Biological half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_half-life

    Absorption half-life 1 h, elimination half-life 12 h. Biological half-life (elimination half-life, pharmacological half-life) is the time taken for concentration of a biological substance (such as a medication) to decrease from its maximum concentration (C max) to half of C max in the blood plasma.

  3. Half-Life (video game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_(video_game)

    Half-Life is a first-person shooter that requires the player to perform combat tasks and puzzle solving to advance through the game. Unlike most first-person shooters at the time, which relied on cut-scene intermissions to detail their plotlines, Half-Life ' s story is told mostly using scripted sequences (bar one short cutscene), keeping the player in control of the first-person viewpoint.

  4. Half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life

    Half-life (symbol t ½) is the time required for a quantity (of substance) to reduce to half of its initial value.The term is commonly used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay or how long stable atoms survive.

    But is also equivalent to ⁡ divided by elimination rate half-life /, = ⁡ /. Thus, = ⁡ /. This means, for example, that an increase in total clearance results in a decrease in elimination rate half-life, provided distribution volume is constant.

  6. Cabazitaxel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabazitaxel

    Cabazitaxel administration causes a decrease in plasma concentrations showing triphasic kinetics: a mean half life (t 1/2) of 2.6 min in the first phase, a mean t 1/2 of 1.3 h in the second phase, and a mean t 1/2 of 77.3 h in the third phase. [16]

  7. Loading dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loading_dose

    [1] A loading dose is most useful for drugs that are eliminated from the body relatively slowly, i.e. have a long systemic half-life . Such drugs need only a low maintenance dose in order to keep the amount of the drug in the body at the appropriate therapeutic level , but this also means that, without an initial higher dose, it would take a ...

    Most potential side effects of Cialis are dose-dependent, meaning they become more common at higher doses. Sorry to be a broken record, but only use the dosage of Cialis prescribed to you.

  9. Effective half-life - Wikipedia

    Alternatively, since the radioactive decay contributes to the "physical (i.e. radioactive)" half-life, while the metabolic elimination processes determines the "biological" half-life of the radionuclide, the two act as parallel paths for elimination of the radioactivity, the effective half-life could also be represented by the formula: [1] [2]
