Socialism is an economic system, used to some degree by democracies, in which the most important means of production, as well as the means of distribution of goods and services, are owned by the state and managed for the welfare of society as a whole.
Dexamethasone is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid. These medicines are man-made versions of the corticosteroid hormones, cortisol and aldosterone, produced naturally by the adrenal glands.
Metabolic alkalosis in the syndrome of AME may be treated with potassium-sparing diuretics. On the other hand, dexamethasone may be used to suppress cortisol production by inhibiting ACTH. Unlike cortisol and some synthetic glucocorticoids, dexamethasone does not activate the mineralocorticoid receptor.
