Digoxin can cause hyperkalemia due to its effect on sodium-potassium ATPase pumps in cardiac cells, leading to increased intracellular sodium and decreased intracellular potassium. However, it is important to note that digoxin can also cause arrhythmias in the presence of high serum potassium levels.

EndodonticsPulpectomy is the complete removal of the pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canals of a tooth. This procedure is the standard treatment for irreversible pulpitis, as the inflamed and infected pulp cannot heal and must be entirely removed to save the tooth and prevent further infection.

Physiology
Endopeptidases, also known as endoproteinases, are enzymes that hydrolyze peptide bonds within the polypeptide chain, breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. Examples include pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. In contrast, exopeptidases, or exoproteinases, cleave peptide bonds at the ends of the polypeptide chain, either at the N-terminal (aminopeptidases) or C-terminal (carboxypeptidases). These enzymes are involved in the final steps of protein digestion and the degradation of small peptides into individual amino acids.
