Hypoglycemia

by mlscience_edit… on
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels fall too low, depriving the body—and especially the brain—of its main energy source. A blood glucose level under 70 mg/dL is generally considered hypoglycemic.

Hypokalaemia

by mlscience_edit… on
Hypokalaemia is a medical condition in which the potassium level in the bloodstream is too low. Potassium is essential for proper muscle function, nerve activity, and maintaining a regular heartbeat. A drop in potassium can lead to symptoms like tiredness, muscle cramps, weakness, and, in more serious cases, dangerous heart rhythm disturbances.

Ventricular arrhythmias.

by mlscience_edit… on
Ventricular arrhythmias refer to irregular heartbeats that begin in the heart's lower chambers, known as the ventricles. These disturbances affect the heart’s electrical signaling and can interfere with its ability to pump blood effectively.

Heart failure

by mlscience_edit… on
Heart failure is a long-term condition in which the heart doesn’t pump blood as effectively as it should to meet the body’s needs.

Prostate-specific antigen

by mlscience_edit… on
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein made by both healthy and cancerous cells in the prostate gland. While its primary role is in semen, where it helps with sperm motility, small amounts are also found in the bloodstream.

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and Metastatic high-risk castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

by mlscience_edit… on
metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and metastatic high-risk castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC or mHSPC) refer to two distinct clinical stages of advanced prostate cancer. Both involve metastasis, but they differ in how the cancer responds to hormonal therapy.

MOLECULES

by mlscience on

A molecule is a combination of two or more atoms bound together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds; depending on the context, the phrase may or may not include ions that meet this requirement. In quantum physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry, the difference between molecules and ions is typically ignored, and the term molecule is commonly used to refer to polyatomic ions. Atoms are the essential constituents of an element. They are made up of a nucleus and surrounding electrons. Valence electrons occur when an atom's electron shell is inadequate.

POLYMERS

by mlscience on

A polymer is any of a family of natural or synthetic compounds made up of larger molecules known as macromolecules, which are multiples of smaller chemical units called monomers. Many components found in living creatures are polymers, such as proteins, cellulose, and nucleic acids. Furthermore, they are the building blocks for minerals like diamond, quartz, and feldspar, as well as man-made materials like concrete, glass, paper, plastics, and rubbers. The word polymer refers to an unspecified number of monomer units.
