helping with his diabetes mellitus. The rationale reason for treating K.H with an ACE inhibitor is easy. The purpose of an ACE inhibitor is that it blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. ACE‚ or angiotensin converting enzyme allows for this conversion‚ which is why he is prescribed an ACE inhibitor. Angiotensin II narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure‚ which can lead to hypertension. Patients who

In pregnancy‚ the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role for the equilibrium of salt and water in mother and child. All components of the RAAS are altered during pregnancy (1‚ 2). Renin concentrations are elevated due to extra-renal secretion in decidua and ovaries through estrogen stimulation (2). An increase in angiotensinogen production in the liver is observed in pregnant women. By contrast‚ the angiotensin-converting enzyme is reduced. These changes result in an

ABSTRACT: LCZ696 (sacubitril/valsartan‚ EntrestoTM) is a novel therapy proposed for heart failure treatment. It was recently approved by the FDA in order to decrease the mortality rate and hospitalization for patients with chronic heart failure. So this study is considered as the first report to investigate the fluorimetric behavior of sacubitril in addition to pursuing all the different conditions which may affect its fluorescence. Numerous conditions were studied such as studying the effects of

Abstract: The experiment was done to demonstrate the effect of ADH on the volume and concentration of urine in order to demonstrate the control of ADH over blood plasma osmolarity. Since non-invasive methods were preferred the volume and concentration of urine was used in place of drawing blood. The results that we our anticipating are that ADH levels in the group of subjects that ingested the 6 gm. Of NaCl would increase over time in response to the increased osmolarity of the blood from all

Angiotensin-II Receptor Blockers (ARBs): ARBs are a class of drugs that halt the action of Angiotensin-II by blocking the binding between Angiotensin-II and Angiotensin-II receptors. This leads to reduced blood pressure as the blood vessels get dilated. This reduced blood pressure helps to ease heart failure as it now becomes easier for the heart to pump this blood. Commonly used ARBs are Irbesartan‚ candesartan‚ Losartan‚ Olmesartan‚ Telmisartan‚ valsartan‚ and azilsartan. Mechanism Angiotensin-II
