A hydrogen and a hydroxide ion can also join together to form a water molecule. In pure water, hydrogen and hydroxide ions are present in a 1:1 ratio since the only source of these ions is the ionization of water. Acids and bases are substances which change the balance of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in water. In this lesson, we will first explore the chemistry of acids and bases, then we will show how to calculate their concentration mathematically.
Methylprednisolone is a steroid, so while under treatment with it, you may experience blood pressure elevations and elevated heart rate. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA,... Comment Helpful?
Increased heart rate was due to predominance of the cardiac sympathetic over the cardiac vagal activation. In spite of a marked reflex increase in the renal and cardiac sympathetic nerve activities, the local vasodilator effect of hypoxia prevented consistent changes in arterial blood pressure.utonomic nerve and cardiovascular responses to changing blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the rat.
