Methadone is an opioid and this class of drug has had some limited use in the control of pain in Crohns patients. Opioids are painkillers such as codeine, morphine and diamorphine (heroin). They work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Opioids are highly addictive and there are far better pain control options available.
Cholestyramine and colestipol will not directly harm an unborn baby, because these drugs are not taken into the body. However, the drugs may keep the mother's body from absorbing vitamins that she and the baby need.
Compacted powder in pharmaceutics refers to powder particles that are compressed together to form a solid mass, often using a tablet press. Micronized powder, on the other hand, involves reducing the particle size of a substance to micron levels, typically through milling or grinding processes. The key difference lies in the particle size and physical form of the powder, with compacted powder being denser and more solid, while micronized powder has smaller particle sizes for improved solubility and bioavailability.

They could keep track of the amount of times certain illnesses are occurring. There are many other ways they could use a spreadsheet.
You can use a cardiac defibrillator to delivery electrical energy to a patients heart by the use of electrodes. This is commonly used on patients with cardiac dysrhythmias or ventricular fibrillation.
The symptoms can be similar. The tests done however would confirm which disease the doctors were dealing with. H Pylori is distinctive as a corkscrew shaped gram negative bacterium. Biopsy from the stomach lining is used among other tests. Treatment in some cases can be somewhat similar with the use of metronidazole and other antibiotics. It can take several treatments but unlike crohns disease, h. pylori is curable.
Nurses are able to use technology to help administer care to patients easier. The more technology in use, the easier it is to help patients.
