Nitroglycerin is primarily used for treating heart-related conditions like angina and heart failure. It is also sometimes used off-label for managing certain types of chest pain or high blood pressure in emergency situations.
C4 is generally considered to be more stable and safer to handle than nitroglycerin, but in terms of explosive power, both are powerful explosives. C4 has a higher detonation velocity and can produce a more controlled explosion, making it effective for military applications. However, nitroglycerin is known for its sensitivity and can detonate more easily under certain conditions. Overall, while C4 is often viewed as more effective for specific uses, nitroglycerin remains one of the more powerful explosives in terms of raw energy release.
They both function the same way and are actually identical to the other, except for size; a polar bear's heart is larger than a human's.
The heart uses more energy than the kidneys. The heart is a muscle that needs constant energy to pump blood throughout the body, while the kidneys primarily filter waste and maintain electrolyte balance.
Angina is a pain or discomfort in the chest that is often felt has a squeezing or pressure-like feeling. This discomfort can also be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back. Anginal pain usually lasts for no more than 2-10 minutes. It is relieved by rest or nitroglycerin. It is commonly found in the chest area. Angina is usually a sign of coronary artery disease(CAD). It occurs when the blood vessels leading to the heart are blocked. The blockage decreases the blood and oxygen flow to the heart muscle. When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen you will feel chest pain and other symptoms.
Sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart beats slower than normal due to the sinus node, the heart's natural pacemaker, sending electrical signals at a slower rate. It is typically considered normal in well-trained athletes or during sleep, but can also be present in some medical conditions or as a side effect of certain medications. Treatment is usually unnecessary unless it causes symptoms or complications.
At rest a heart rate of more than 100 is fast. A heart rate of more than 100 BPM is sinus tachycardia. In medicine sinus tachycardia is a heart rate of more than 100 BPM. If it is asymptomatic it does not usally need treatment. However if a resting heart rate of 114 BPM causes chest pains or other problems treatment should be given.
At this fast a rate, the heart chambers do not have adequate time to refill fully with blood. This is called fibrillation and is associated with a corresponding decrease in cardiac output and lower blood pressure. Since nitroglycerin also causes lower blood pressure by dilating or expanding the vessels, the additive effect could cause loss of consciousness.
TNT (trinitrotoluene) is generally more readily available as an explosive agent compared to nitroglycerin. TNT is more stable and less sensitive to shock and friction, making it safer to handle and transport than nitroglycerin.
TNT is trinitrotoluene. Dynamite is a mixture of nitroglycerin and an absorbent material of some kind such as diatomaceous earth or sawdust. Dynamite is safer to work with than either TNT or pure nitroglycerin as it's not nearly as sensitive to physical shocks (dropping, shaking, etc.).
Depends on how you take the treatment and what kind of treatment it is. For instance, if the bad treatment is merely just your parents talking harshly to you or them treating you differently from a sibling, then take it to heart to be fair to your kids. Use it rather than let it get to you. This is coming from a guy whose parent's did treat their kids differently. If the treatment is abuse, then you might want to seek help in other places than a wiki.
The nitroglycerin content of angina pills is very small, and does not constitute an explosion hazard of any sort. Nitroglycerin pills should be disposed of as per the packaging insert (typically, wrapped thoroughly in newspaper, then put in trash). If you have bulk quantities of pure nitroglycerin -- more than a fraction of a teaspoon -- you have a very hazardous material that must be handled with care. Nitroglycerin is highly energetic; the detonation of a tablespoon (30cc) could amputate the hand holding the spoon and possibly kill someone. There are methods, typically involving the reaction of nitroglycerin with a base such as sodium hydroxide, for neutralizing the nitroglycerin. However, unless you are an experienced chemist or otherwise have experience in the handling of sensitive materials, you should not attempt neutralization -- or disposal -- of nitroglycerin yourself. Call your local fire department to let them know what you have. They can assist you or contact someone who can. Be aware that you may have some explaining to do, if you have more than experimental quantities and don't have an ATF license...
Primary heart cancer (cancer that arises in the heart tissue itself rather than having its origin in another part of the body) is very rare; the Mayo Clinic typically sees only one case per year. Heart cancer is still rare even if you include forms that move to the heart from other parts of the body. Usually, treatment is designed to control symptoms and to preserve heart function. See links for more.
well one lung is lower than the other to make room for your heart.
Valves can be found in the heart aswell as the veins
The estimated adult oral lethal dose of nitroglycerin is 200 mg to 1,200 mg. That is quite a lot as the normal dose per use is not more than 0.8 mg.
