34. Form - cyclic, terminological
Pharmaceutical terminology is a complex consisting of a set of terms from a number of special disciplines, united under the general name "pharmacy" (Greek pharmakeia - the creation and use of drugs), which study the discovery, production, use of medicines of plant, mineral, animal and synthetic origin. The central place in this terminological complex is occupied by the nomenclature of medicines - an extensive set of names of medicinal substances and preparations officially approved for use. The pharmaceutical market uses tens and hundreds of thousands of names of medicines. The total number of medicines and their combinations available in different countries exceeds 250. Every year, the pharmacy chain receives new and new medicines.
In order to have an idea of how drug names are created, which affects the choice of certain word formation methods and structural types of names, it is necessary to familiarize yourself at least in the most general terms with some general pharmaceutical terms.
1. Medicinal product (medicamentum) - a substance or mixture of substances permitted by the authorized body of the relevant country in the prescribed manner for use for the purpose of treating, preventing or diagnosing a disease.
2. Medicinal substance (materia medica) - a medicinal product, which is an individual chemical compound or biological substance.
3. Medicinal plant materials - plant materials approved for medical use.
4. Dosage form (forma medicamentorum) - a condition convenient for use that is attached to a medicinal product or medicinal plant material, in which the desired therapeutic effect is achieved.
5. Medicinal product (praeparatum pharmaceuticum) - a drug in the form of a specific dosage form.
6. Active substance - a component (s) of a medicinal product that has (s) a therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic effect.
7. Combined medicines - medicines containing in one dosage form more than one active ingredient in fixed doses.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Rotating TV
20.06.2001
The TV on a 360-degree freely rotating stand is convenient to watch from anywhere in the room.
The stand is made of rolled steel with spraying and polished coating. The massive base - 56 cm in diameter - makes it stable and completely safe. For greater reliability, a TV with a diagonal screen up to 80 cm is attached with a removable strap.
Power cords and antennas are not visible, they are passed through an opening made inside the curved leg. If necessary, an additional bracket for installing a player or VCR can be mounted.
