The contractile vacuole acts to regulate quantity of water in a cell. In freshwater environments the concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than outside the cell (i.e., the environment is hypotonic).he contraction of the contractile vacuole and the expulsion of water out of the cell is called systole. Water always flows first from outside the cell into the cytoplasm, and is only then moved from the cytoplasm into the contractile vacuole for expulsion.
Induced coma. A barbiturate-induced coma, or barb coma, is a temporary coma (a deep state of unconsciousness) brought on by a controlled dose of a barbiturate drug, usually pentobarbital or thiopental.
Induced coma is used in the treatment of symptomatic rabies through the Milwaukee protocol, first attempted in 2004.ome randomized trials have failed to demonstrate any survival or morbidity benefit of induced coma in diverse conditions such as neurosurgical operations, head trauma, intracranial aneurysm rupture, intracranial hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, and status epilepticus.
