Introduction
Omnitrope is an intravenous injection used in the treatment of Prader-Willi Syndrome, or PWS. PWS, is a genetic condition which disturbs many growth developments in the body. This condition is nominally characterized by hypotonia – a syndrome classified by weaker or reduced muscle tone, developmental growth problems, developmentally delaying features, and difficulties in feeding. The drug is used to treat both children and adult patients displaying these physiognomies.
Dosages
Omnitrope is administered in three different dosage forms:
- The Omitrope© Pen 5 casing - a 5 milligram/1.5 ounce syringe ready for site-injection
- The Omitrope© Pen 10 casing – a 10 milligram/3 ounce syringe ready for site-injection, and
- A 5.8 milligram

b. syringe size- depends on how much medication is to be given. You would need a 5ml syringe for 0.7ml of medication. Also insulin can only be given in an insulin syringe because it is measured in units instead
The major issue in the case “Becton Dickinson and needle sticks’ is the brand of syringes hospitals are using. These
According to the National Hemophilia Foundation (.n d.), people with VWD experience recurrent nosebleeds, easy bruising and extreme bleeding for the duration of and after invasive procedures, such as tooth removals and surgery. Women often experience menorrhagia, heavy menstrual periods that last lengthier than usual, and hemorrhaging after giving birth. The signs and symptoms depends on the severity of the disease.
Angelman syndrome (AS) and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) are both congenital neurological disorders that cause physical and mental impairment. There are many ways to get AS and PWS, but genomic imprinting is the most common cause. AS is typically misdiagnosed as Cerebral Palsy or Autism and symptoms for AS and PWS may vary between patients. There is no cure for AS or PWS, but physical and mental therapy can help.
Prader-Willi syndrome, (PWS) is a genetic disorder that occurs in about one in every eight thousand births in the United States. PWS occurs when there is a defect or deletion in the fifteenth chromosome from either maternal or paternal origins. Individuals diagnosed with PWS need enhanced supervision to address the constant need to over eat. Current research identifies that the paternal chromosome presents with significant maladaptive behaviors. Behavioral issues commonly known to the disorder differ dependent on the origin of the parental chromosome.
In the article Asthma: Versatile Treatment for A Versatile Disease by Kevin R. Murphy, he discusses the many factors that affect asthma and how inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) are used for all different levels of asthma. Kevin R. Murphy brings up factors such as air pollution and smoking that contribute to the variable nature of asthma which affect people with asthma every day. I will be evaluating the points that Kevin R. Murphy made about the factors that affect asthma and how versatile treatment is for asthma.
Wolman is a very rare disease. Involves conditions of the breakdown, and use of fat and cholesterol in the body. The people who are affected by this get harmful amount of lipids accumulate in the spleen, liver, bone marrow, small intestine, small hormone-producing glands on top of each kidney, and lymph nodes. Adrenal glands are also seen.
A genetic disorder is a mutation in an organisms DNA. It is caused by a change in the sequencing of the nucleotides that make up a specific gene. The genetic disorder can be inherited by offspring, but it may or may not show in the offspring depending on whether the genetic disorder is a dominate or recessive allele. There are many genetic disorders that humans develop and inherit. Some disorders cause improvements within the human species while others cause severe retardation of the human species. In this paper, the genetic disorder Angelman Syndrome will be discussed.

Per pain medicine reevaluation report dated 4/20/15, the patient was provided prescription for 60 tablets of cyclobenzaprine 10mg, 90 tablets of ibuprofen 800mg and 60 patches of Lidoderm 5%, all with 1 refill.
Prader-Willi syndrome is the most common known cause for life-threatening child obesity. Although the causation is quite complex, there are many available treatments to the wide variety of symptoms that this disease will bring (Genetics Home Reference, 2016).

It seems the storeroom has two brands of Propofol, but we can only accept the brand name Propofol from the store, this is because generic Propofol contains bisulfite. If any issues, you can always call Liz or Allison.
