variability, we can adjust to cater for pharmacokinetic variability Sources of Variability • Variation in absorption • Variation in drug distribution • Differences in an individual’s ability to metabolise and eliminate drug (e.g. genetics) • Disease states (e.g. renal or hepatic insufficiency) or physiological states (e.g. extremes of age or obesity) that alter absorption, distribution or elimination. • Drug interactions • Age – whether the person has developed tolerance/susceptibility

In the article “Four Starry Nights”, Anna Frebal talks about stars in ultra faint dwarf galaxies that astronomers have spotted in the past ten years. Her research primarily revolves around this topic. She begins by telling us that stars in dwarf galaxies are some of the oldest stars because of the proportion of elements that they carry. She also states that a new generation of stars form from gaseous clouds that are enriched by heavier elements, elements like lithium. Frebal furthermore tells us

In other words, absorption is the real scale by which we can know about the food security’s reality. Many indigent people have RATION CARD or LAL CARD and they get their food right from the Public Distribution System. But question is, do they really take this food for themselves

process which are: the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and the pancreas. These organs secrete fluids needed during the digestive process (National Institute of Health). Food undergoes three processes while in the digestive system: Digestion, Absorption, and Elimination. Digestion is an intricate process where the food that is ingested is turned into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth and cell repair (WebMD). There are two types of digestion: mechanical digestion and chemical digestion
