Haloperidol and Quetiapine In modern medicine, there are two main groups of antipsychotic medicine such as, conventional antipsychotics (1st generation antipsychotics) and atypical antipsychotics (2nd generation antipsychotics). Haloperidol is a conventional antipsychotic which is used to treat schizophrenia and some other forms of psychosis. Haloperidol was developed in the late 1950s by company Janssen, and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1967. (David A. Williams )…
the 5’ end has been described to reduce its immunostimmulatory properties in splenocytes. To determine whether the end of CpG conjugated to OVA effects the induction of a cellular immune response by an immunotherapeutic vaccine, CpG modified with an amine group on either the 3’ end or the 5’ end were conjugated to the model tumour antigen OVA. OVA was first purified from aggregates by preparative size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and then conjugated onto CpG using a bis-aryl-hydrazone…
PVA/CS nanofiber was shown in Fig. 1(a). The band at 3255.32 cm−1 was corresponded to -OH stretching and the peaks at 1025.6 and 1450.04 cm−1 for the -C-O band. The peaks at 3445.32 cm-1, 2965 cm-1, 1640.01cm-1, 1598.7 cm-1, and 1361 cm-1 are due to amine NH symmetric vibration, C-H vibration, deformation vibration of the absorbed water molecules, stretching vibration of amino group of chitosan and vibration of C-H, respectively. The peaks at 890.1 and 1100 cm-1 was attributed to saccharide…
through ingestion. Intestinal microbiota and to a lesser extent, the liver enzymes, are responsible for the cleavage of azo dyes into aromatic amines. Some of human endogenous bacteria that contaminate bladder can metabolically activate aromatic amines that are produced from azo dyes (procarcinogens). The addition of the nitro-group to these aromatic amines would convert them…
Although she gets great prenatal care and vitals are stable, she has been having vaginal discharge with amine odor. In addition, a strong family history of diabetes was presented to the obstetrician. The prenatal care from the obstetrician is recommended due to the high risk pregnancy. The prenatal vitamins contain essential vitamins needed during pregnancy…
T. Heinze et. al. reported the synthesis of new 6-deoxy-6-pheylethylamino cellulose derivatives with DSamino 0.4-0.6 by nucleophilic displacement of cellulose tosylates (DSTos 0.74 and 1.29) with a racemic mixture of 1-phenylethylamine under homogeneous conditions, in DMF/H2O82, scheme 30. The optical properties of these deoxyamino cellulose derivatives was studied. A regioselective synthesis of 6-amino-6-deoxycellulose, 6-N-sulfonated, and 6-N-carboxymethylated deoxycellulose were…
health, and low stress management can all as well be risk factors of cancer. The last factor the author discusses is the concept of mutagens from cooking, such as high temperature, which can overall generate dangerous compounds such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons- both known to actually mutate one’s DNA itself and increases the risk of disease such as cancer, and several others. The author does however mention that multiple studies indicate that several starchy…
Helicobacter pylori are spiral and rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria [1] that colonize the gastric mucosa of about half of the world’s population [2]. This bacterium has been associated with several gastric diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer [3]. Contamination is usually acquired in childhood [4,5], probably by ingesting food or water contaminated with fecal matter [6,7], and, once established, H. pylori has no significant bacterial competitors [8]. In order to…

William Flake was born in Orangeburg, SC. Ever since he was a child he wanted to be an engineer. After spending the first six years of his life in Orangeburg, he moved to Goose Creek with his family and attended Stratford High School. During high school, William played varsity football under Coach Stackely. He was inducted into Tau Beta Pi, an engineering honor society. Most of his extracurricular activities involved several honor societies and dating girls. After high school, he was accepted…
