Ceftazidime, sold under the brand name Fortaz among others, is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. Specifically it is used for joint infections, meningitis, pneumonia, sepsis, urinary tract infections, malignant otitis externa, Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, and vibrio infection. It is given by injection into a vein, muscle, or eye. Common side effects include nausea, allergic reactions, and pain at the site of injection. Other side effects may include Clostridium difficile diarrhea. It is not recommended in people who have had previous anaphylaxis to a penicillin. Its use is relatively safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is in the third-generation cephalosporin family of medications and works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall. Ceftazidime was patented in 1978 and came into commercial use in 1984. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Ceftazidime is available as a generic medication.

Acetaminophen/Paracetamol (Tylenol)
Acetaminophen, more commonly known by brand names such as Tylenol, is not a true NSAID, as it does not have anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is commonly discussed alongside NSAIDs as it has similar antipyretic and analgesic properties. Although its mechanism of action is not well-

Celecoxib (Celebrex) and other COX-2 Selective Inhibitors
We know that NSAIDs can inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. But these enzymes perform slightly different functions, and it seems that inhibition of COX-2 leads to the beneficial affects of NSAIDs while inhibition of COX-1 leads to the unwanted side effects. Well what if we could take adv

The Antibiotics Revolution Part 2: Penicillins and Cephalosporins
We just finished learning about how the antibiotics revolution got started, with the sulfa drugs. Now let's move on to the classes of antibiotics that were discovered in the middle of the 20th century, the penicillins and the cephalosporins. Who discovered them and how? I promise you that

Making ten cesium vials at once
I did some glassblowing to make a custom glass apparatus that enables me to make ten smaller cesium ampoules in one go. Sadly, it didn’t go as planned. But it still worked ok. For the first try, I am satisfied. I will improve this method further in the future. Elias Experiments Channel: h
