At the same time, carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood and into the air through the respiratory membrane. The exchange of oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide into the air allows the blood leaving the lungs to provide oxygen to the bodyâs cells, while depositing carbon dioxide waste into the air. Control of Breathing. Breathing is controlled by the brain and may be controlled both consciously and unconsciously.
Ninety patients were assigned into three groups and received atorvastatin (10-40 mg/day) or fenofibrate (160-200 mg/day) or combination of low-dose atorvastatin (5 mg/day) and fenofibrate (160 mg/day).o significant difference was reported in safety profile between the two groups. To conclude, the results suggest that combination therapy with low-dose atorvastatin and fenofibrate is more efficacious, with no increase in adverse effects when compared with monotherapies with individual drugs for mixed hyperlipidemia.
All of the low-dose sedating antidepressants have half-lives greater than the usual sleep period. Even trazodone, the shortest-acting of these drugs and the least sedating, at a dose of 50 mg is associated with reports of daytime somnolence in 23% of patients compared with 8% for placebo.The prevalence of daytime somnolence is higher at higher doses, in elderly patients, and for tricyclic antidepressants.ven trazodone, the shortest-acting of these drugs and the least sedating, at a dose of 50 mg is associated with reports of daytime somnolence in 23% of patients compared with 8% for placebo.
