Approach Considerations. Once a working diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is reached, laboratory tests are obtained to support the clinical impression. In addition to confirming the diagnosis, laboratory tests are helpful in determining the etiology and looking for complications. Although diagnostic imaging is unnecessary in most cases of pancreatitis, visualization of inflammatory changes within the pancreas provides morphologic confirmation of the diagnosis.
Carbastat - Clinical Pharmacology. Carbachol is a potent cholinergic (parasympathomimetic) agent which produces constriction of the iris and ciliary body resulting in reduction in intraocular pressure. The exact mechanism by which carbachol lowers intraocular pressure is not precisely known.
Decarboxylation. Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide. Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids, removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain.The reverse process, which is the first chemical step in photosynthesis, is called carboxylation, the addition of CO2 to a compound.Enzymes that catalyze decarboxylations are called decarboxylases or, the more formal term, carboxy-lyases.he reverse process, which is the first chemical step in photosynthesis, is called carboxylation, the addition of CO2 to a compound.
