What are some examples of basal anesthesia's?
basal anesthesia narcosis produced by preliminary medication so that the inhalation of anesthetic necessary to produce surgical anesthesia is greatly reduced.
What is a basal anesthetic?
Etymology: Gk, basis, foundation, anesthesia, lack of feeling1 a state of unconsciousness just short of complete surgical anesthesia in depth, in which the patient does not respond to words but reacts to pinprick or other noxious stimuli.2 narcosis produced by injection or infusion of potent sedatives alone, without added narcotics or anesthetic agents.3 also called narco anesthesia. Any form of anesthesia in which the patient is completely unconscious, in contrast to awake anesthesia.
How can insulin be produced?
One way insulin can be produced is by injecting genetically engineered bacteria into your bloodstream. The insulin will multiply and each one will produce insulin. This is only helpful in fighting on kind of diabetes.
What causes botulisum?
Botulism is caused by a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Botulism can be contracted by eating infected foods or in wounds such as those caused by injecting drugs.
What was PCP first developed to be?
PCP is a schedule 2 drug in the US, and was first developed as an anesthetic before government testing showed it to have adverse affects on people, so they made it illegal to own. Was patented and produced by the Parke-Davis company in 1956 as the anesthetic Sernyl, but was later discontinued in 1978, again due to side effects that it caused. Used in the 1960's as a veterinary anesthetic. Side effects: respiratory problems, slurred speech, severe agitation, flash backs, convulsions, a loss in coordination, anxiety, paranoia, violent hostility, psychotic breaks and amnesia.

What is an oncomouse?
One of the first transgenic animals produced was the oncomouse (Greek for word tumour). Researchers at the Harvard medical school in the early 1980s produced a genetically modified mouse that was highly susceptible to forms of human cancer. This was done by injecting the mouse with an oncogene that can trigger the growth of tumours. The oncomouse proved to be scientifically useful, but also become controversial throughout the scientific community.
Can aspirin be taken with Lidocaine?
This is a group called anesthetic's, lidocaine is a local anesthetic and local been it is injected in to the area of the wound usually combined with adrenalin to stop the nerves from firing and say for example you cut your self and it requires stitches the doctor will inject the local anesthetic around and in the area that is going to be stitched this stops the nerve endings and nerve tissue to stop sending signals to the nervous system to the spinal cord and up in to the brain witch then tells you that you have damaged your self. Lidocaine is commonly used by dentists when they extract teeth so it localises the affected area. The adrenalin is to stem blood flow it causes the capillaries/blood vessels to contract so the doctor can see where the stitches are needed. Lidocaine is derived from cocaine for its ability to numb or dull pain receptors but it is produced synthetically and has no of the characteristics of the so called high of cocaine. If you were to be put to sleep the anesthetic term used would be a general anesthetic which is used to to coin a Fraze "knock you out". General anesthetics use fentanyl (and with gas) some times prescribed by your doctor in a patch which delivers it through the skin into the blood stream as with most general anesthetics they are opiate based so it can be used for chronic pain. hope this helps
What is a vaccine and how do doctors use them?
A vaccine is a mild, weakened pathogen, that is almost dead and the body fights the pathogen off by creating antibodies. They are made by lymphodes which can also attack the pathogen (virus,bactirum,protazoa and fungi). Doctors use them by injecting them into the body. Some forms of vaccine may also be introduced orally (by mouth). Injecting into the muscle is favoured for faster action and prevent the vaccine being destroyed by stomach acids, before the body can react to them. New vaccines are being produced and perfected all the time. Virus's have a nasty habit of mutating, which render previous vaccines ineffective.
