Embalming 2- Ch 23
cobalt-60
this "blue" isotope is used for radiation therapy
iodine-131
this radioactive isotope seems like it should be added to salt
phosphorus-32
this radioactive isotope sounds like it should make the sea foam glow at night
radium-226
this radioactive isotope was discovered by the Curies
gold-198
this radioactive isotope will make you rich
3 bottles
what amount of arterial fluid is needed to preserve the protein in the "ideal" body
toxic
what are all chemotherapeutic agents
nitrogenous wastes
what are produced when a chemptherapeutic agent passes through the kidneys
protection, time of exposure, distance
what are the 3 precautions to remember when dealing with radiation
fungal overgrowth
what are the cottonlike circulatory blockages that antibiotics cause
changes in voluntary muscles & the liver
what are the side effects of taking sulfonylureas
GI ulcerations with possible perforations of the gut
what can happen if someone has used cortisone for the treatment of a chronic disease
use preinjection fluids
what can you do to restore some of the permeability of the cells in a body
the physiological effects of the drug
what causes the changes in formaldehyde demand in relation to drug therapies
it "protects" them
what does a corticosteroid do to proteolytic enzymes
antibiotics
what drug causes cottonlike circulatory blockages, jaundice, bleeding into skin, poor penetration
oral contraceptives
what drugs can give the same problems caused by corticosteroids
circulatory drugs
what drugs cause blood clots, impairment of circulation, poor distribution of fluids, purpura, urine retention & spongy nitrogenous waste-filled tissues
tranquilizers
what drugs cause dehydration, weight loss & emaciation, low protein, kidney dysfunction & retention of nitrogenous waste products
cancer chemotherapy
what drugs cause emaciation & dehydration, extensive purpura, jaundice, low protein, perforation of gut, brittleness of bone, nitrogenous waste retention
sedatives
what drugs cause emaciation, dehydration, low protein, difficult to firm tissues
oral antidiabetic agents
what drugs cause muscle atrophy, mild to severe jaundice, some emaciation & edema
corticosteroids
what drugs cause the cell membranes to be less permeable, retention of fluid, mild to severs waterlogging of tissues, "protects" proteolysis enzymes resulting in a more rapid breakdown of body proteins
stimulants
what drugs cause weight loss, emaciation, low protein, mucous membranes bleed easily, other problems as for tranquilizers
decrease permeability of cell membrane
what effects to corticosteroids have on cells
they become less permeable
what happens to cell membranes as chelation occurs
they become spongy
what happens to tissues what have been saturated with urea, uric acid, ammonia, creatinine & other waste products
jaundice, hemolysis, depletion of protein, nitrogenous waste
what happens when a person abuses tranquilizers
circulatory problems & acidosis
what is linked to the continuous usage of oral diabetic agents
urotropin
what is produced when formaldehyde reacts with nitrogenous wastes
30 mc
what is that safe level of radiation for an unautopsied body
convert weight to kilograms
what is the first step in determining a body's formaldehyde demand
65.3/150 = x/weight of individual in lbs
what is the formula to convert pounds to kilograms
(grams of protein/100) * 4.4
what is the formula to determine formaldehyde demand
10.7/65.3=x/weight of individual in kilograms
what is the formula to determine how many kilograms of protein in a deceased
disseminated tuberculosis
what is the more "insidious" problem associated with long-term corticosteroid usage
hexamethylene
what is the other name for urotropin
lack of protein
what is the problem associated with drug abusers
they are chelating agents
what is the problem with antibiotics in relation to embalming
5 mc
what is the safe level of radiation for an autopsied body
constipation & anuresis
what problems are associated with heroin addicts
preservation & firming are difficult to achieve
what problems are created by a combination antibiotic chemotherapy
standard PPE, rubber gloves, rubber apron
what should an embalmer wear when radiation is a concern
rapid firming
what special thing happens to bodies that have undergone acidosis
very concentrated
what strength solution is recommended for persons who have undergone combination antibiotic chemotherapy
antidepressants
what type of drug: Ritalin, Tofranil
sedatives
what type of drug: barbiturates, meprobamate, amobarbital, seconal
stimulants
what type of drug: benzedrine, dexedrine, cocaine, phenmetrazine
narcotics
what type of drug: opiates
tranquilizers
what type of drug: phenothiazines, reserpine, chloropromazine, ;obrium, valium
stronger-than-normal with a co-injection
what type of solution should you use on a person who has had extended corticosteroid therapy
jaundice
what will taking tolbutamide or chlorpropamide cause
hospital
where should embalming occur if the radiation levels are above the recommended level
the enzymes remain in the body causing rapid decomposition of proteins after embalming
why is it bad for the embalmer that corticosteroids "protect" proteolytic enzymes
cytotoxic
drug that kills cancer cells
antimetabolite
drug that slowly starves the cancer cell by depriving it of a nutrient
permeability
drug therapies can cause a change in the _______ of the cell membranes
strontium-89
for some reason this radioactive isotope seems like it should be a lockbox in WoW
chelating
having an affinity for metallic ions, particularly calcium and magnesium
alkaline coinjection
how do you combat the problems related to acidosis
multiply it by 1000
how do you convert kilograms of protein to grams of protein
142
how many grams of formaldehyde does a 16 oz bottle of 30 index fluid contain
41
how many liters of liquid are in the average body
29.57
how many milliliters equal one fluid ounce
4.4 grams
how much formaldehyde do you need to preserve every 100 grams of protein
liver & kidneys
it is important to remember that all chemotherapeutic agents pass through these organs
