The article chosen is titled ‘The Potential Role of Sports Psychology in the Obesity Epidemic’ written by Vincent Morelli and Carolyn Davis (2013). It discusses the important role sports psychology plays in helping reverse the growing obesity epidemic among modern day society. The article highlights how cognitive-behavioural techniques such as confidence building and anger management could lead to enhanced enjoyment, increased participation, improved performance, and a reduction in obesity rates…

ABSTRACT N-Myristoyltransferase (NMT) is an attractive target for the development of novel antimalarial drugs. In this paper, we report a hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship (HQSAR), a comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), and a comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) studies on a series of benzo[b]thiophene-containing selective inhibitors of plasmodial NMT. Two QSAR models were constructed, one for Plasmodium falciparum NMT and another for Homo…

To most of us, our daily coffee, tea or Diet Coke routine is as automatic as breathing. Sure, we know that the stimulating effect of caffeine is part of the equation, but most of us have no idea of the side effects of caffeine are nor how profoundly our buzz of choice has affected our brains. In its purest form, caffeine would be indistinguishable from cocaine and would only take a teaspoon of it to kill you. Now for most of us, our mild addictions won’t put our lives at risk, but this leads…

Schiff Bases: Schiff bases are amongst the important class of drugs containing imine or azoethine (-C=N-) moiety,have been obtained by the condensation of primary amines and carbonyl compounds.It was first time presented by the Hugo schiff (Cimerman et al, 2000). Schiff bases are one of the most important class of organic drugs widely used in variety of different fields such as analytical, biological, and inorganic chemistry.The schiff bases heve been designed to synthesize more and more novel…

Have you ever wondered what is the benefit of eating heart healthy foods such as kale? Many people ignore the facts and benefits of heart healthy food and run straight towards all the junk. If your feeling stressed out, anxious, or even depressed try to fight the temptation of eating unhealthy foods. Instead when your heading to get junk food stop and say to yourself, “How is this going to benefit me with my health?”. If you are especially diagnosed with heart disease or high cholesterol you…

reactions that occur the first one is known as PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) this occurs when the fat from the meat creates smoke this smoke then goes back into the meat itself. The other chemical that is created is known as HCAs (heterocyclic amines) it occurs when amino acids, sugars, and creatines react to a high temperature. Both of this chemical reactions can increase the risk of cancer each reaction has its own set of cancers you can get from it such as PAHs you can get…

Circular Dichroism (CD) fundamentals. CD is defined as the difference between absorptions of left (Al) and right (Ar) circularly polarized light beams, CD=Al-Ar For each absorption band, the CD of two enantiomers are always exactly opposite. Theory. For each electronic transition one can define an electric (µij≠0) and a magnetic (mij≠0) transition dipole. Both can lead to absorption of radiation, the intensity of which is directly related to the oscillator strength f, fij≈| µij |2+ | mij |2 In…

Assessment is one of the stages in the nursing process aimed at identification of chal-lenges faced by the patient. The challenges are usually followed by nurse’s intervention. For instance, patients with hip fracture and stroke are likely to face nursing challenges such as pressure ulcer and malnutrition (Bååth et al. 2008, Chernoff 2003). Nutritional intake is best assessed by a dietician. Various methods can be used the as-sessment and these include the 24-hours recall. Interview that focus…

Ototoxicity may be defined as “damage to the structure and function of the inner ear (auditory, vestibular, or both) that results from exposure to toxins” (Campbell, 2007). Exposure to toxins is often the result of the administration of therapeutic agents or medications for the treatment of other primary diagnoses. These medications fall into several classes including: aminoglycoside antibiotics, antineoplastic drugs, other antibiotics, antimalarial drugs, loop diuretics, and salicylates. To…

the asymmetric vibration is pulling in the same direction. When a light is shining, the molecule will vibrate or will cause stretching. In the FTIR Spectrum Compound II there is a broad absorption of OH. Also seen in the spectrum is CO, tertitary amine, CH, and aromatic C-C as functional groups. In the characterization of Mass Spectrum Fragments there is a compound that is given then a light is used on that compound, the m/z of the compound is 86, the compound is then split into different…
