Which antibiotic should not be taken with antacids?
Ofloxacin - a fluoroquinolone; antacids bind to this medication, hence, lead to decreased bioavailability.
What is the histological effect of estrogen stimulation of endometrium?
Proliferative endometrium with stromal breakdown.
Atrial Fibrillation on ECG:
For the above ECG, what medication should be administered and why?
This is atrial fibrillation; there are no detectable P waves. For stabilization we use diltiazem and for long term management we use warfarin.
Diagram ECF and ICF volumes:
From the above diagram:
The body consists of two compartments - ICF and ECF. The capillary membrane is permeable to sodium and the cell membrane is not permeable to sodium. Fluid volumes change horizontally and fluid osmolarities change vertically. For example, during prolonged sweating, there would be a decrease in ECF volume. Furthermore, in prolonged sweating, more water is lost than salt, so ECF osmolarity increases. Since water moves from low to high osmolarity, water will move from ICF to the ECF.
