The loading dose of indomethacin in neonates is 0.2 mg/kg of body weight by intravenous infusion. a. What would be the dose for a neonate weighing 6 lb 4 oz? b. How many milliliters of an injection containing 1 mg of indomethacin per 0.5 mL should be administered to obtain this dose?
A patient carrying a mutant form of hemoglobin (KD = 48 torr) is planning to take part in a hiking trip that involves strenuous physical activity at ~10,000 feet above sea level. The mutant hemoglobin has reduced oxygen binding cooperativity (n = 2.2) and displays no major structural abnormalities. a. Calculate the percent saturation of hemoglobin in the lungs (pO2 = 70 torr at this elevation) for this patient and for an individual carrying a normal version of hemoglobin b. Calculate the percent saturation of hemoglobin in active skeletal muscle tissue (pO2 = 15 torr) for this patient and for an individual carrying a normal version of hemoglobin c. Will this patient transport oxygen from the lungs to active muscle tissues more or less efficientlythan an individual with a normal version of hemoglobin on this trip? Briefly explain your answer

At a PO2 of 10 mmHg, there is more deoxyhemoglobin in blood that oxyhemoglobin d.

A person who is hyposecreting EPO and has an increased hematocrit: A. may have anemia B. may have primary polycythemia C.may have secondary polycythemia
People suffering with sickle cell anemia have a structural defect in hemoglobin (HB). The major reason for this structural change is mutation of glutamic acid to valine. This leads to a Exposure of polar amino acids, leading to disintegration of hemoglobin. b Burying of polar amino acids, leading to disintegration of hemoglobin. c Exposure of non-polar amino acids leading to long fiber formation. d Burying of non-polar amino acids thereby increasing hydrophobic interactions and formation of long fibres.
At high altitude, red blood cells ____ production of BPG, which causes a/an ____ in Hb's O2 binding affinity. a) Increase; increase b) Decrease; increase c) Decrease; decrease d) Increase; decrease
Sixty hours after aspirin ingestion, the patient’s blood pH has returned to normal (pH7.4). Describe how the carbonic acid/bicarbonate buffering system responded to bring thepatient’s blood pH back to normal. LeChatelier’s Principle may be helpful here. For the question above, doesn't the stopping of hyperventilation (due to the passage of time) automatically increase the CO2 concentration in blood, thus re-establishing all the "normal" equilibria, including the one with H+? How does the H2CO3/HCO3- buffer respond?
You decide to cure your hiccups by breathing into a paper bag. Assumethat the bag is initially filled with 500 ml air (referenced to BTP) havingthe ambient air composition given in Table. Assume a breathing rateof 12 breaths/min, a CO2 production rate of 235 ml/min at BTP, and anO2 consumption rate of 284 ml/min at BTP. You can also assume that youbegin by inhaling all the air in the bag (i.e., tidal volume is 500 ml for thefirst breath), and that on each subsequent breath you increase your tidalvolume so as to completely empty the bag on inhalation. Compute the CO2concentration (as a percentage) in the bag after exhalation on the 10th breath.Although not particularly realistic, you can assume that the normal amountof CO2 is transferred from the lungs to the expelled air with every breath,even though the CO2 concentration in the bag is continually increasing
