Aspirin

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the presence of the analgesic compounds acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine, and salicylamide in the over-the-counter medications Anacin, Bufferin, Excedrin, and Tylenol. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was used to analyze solutions of the medications; the TLC plates were visualized using ultraviolet light and iodine staining.The ten micropipets used to spot the TLC plates were made from glass capillary tubes by heating the middle of each tube in a…

I. INTRODUCTION: Clopidogrel is one of the major drugs used in the treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome. Along with Aspirin it is the standard of care in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions with stenting, when a long term dual antiplatelet treatment is needed. However the response to clopidogrel shows wide inter-individual variations. Various studies have shown that the polymorphisms in the genes responsible for Clopidogrel absorption and metabolism are a major factor for these variations.…

and mortality risk must be <50%. Include antiplatelet and statin in managing patients with carotid artery stenosis and stroke. For patients with stroke secondary to 50% - 99% occlusion of a major intracranial artery, aspirin 325 mg/d is preferred to warfarin. Clopidogrel + Aspirin 325 x 90 days may be used in patients with recent stroke or within the last 30 days caused by 70% - 90% stenosis of a major intracranial artery. Do not…

get the normal heart rate of the worms. The other control was a caffeine solution that served as our positive control. Our other solutions that we exposed the worms to consisted of increasing concentrations of two different NSAIDs (ibuprofen and aspirin). For each NSAID, we had a solution equivalent to the recommended dosage for a person based on body weight (the proportional dosage solution), ten times the concentration of this initial solution based on the body weight of the worm, and…

beaker. Afterwards 6 mL of cold deionized water was added to the crystals (aspirin). The crystals were separated from the mixture through vacuum filtration using a Hirsch funnel. The mixture was washed with 0.5 mL of cold deionized water and the aspirin product was transferred to filter paper. The aspirin product was characterized using Thin LAyer Chromatography and compared to a methyl salicylate sample and a standard aspirin tablet sample, see figure 1. The samples were applied to its…

Observation, results, and calculations Observations During this experiment, it was observed that sucrose shows a soluble component which physical appearances results to be more crystal in nature and bonded together during the first separation. The separation of dichloromethane and sodium hydroxide reveal two layers of different density liquids solution whereby one is denser in nature than the other solution. The dense solution is referred to as the sodium hydroxide while the bottom layer which…

Mom boasted, ”I never in my life had taken so much as aspirin,” but this catastrophe was so hard, the doctor had placed a bottle of Valium in Mom’s hand, to help her cope. Ridden with guilt and embarrassment, she told me she had been ingesting the pills. With her anxiety elevating, she intimated…

parents thought I should have surgery. Four weeks later, I had to start the surgery but as the surgery began and I was injected with aspirin to knock me out I started to have a rash and convulse. My parents had found out I was allergic to aspirin so the surgery was cancelled because aspirin was the only drug there that could be safely injected into me. Since then my arm remained as it is. I lived okay during my first…

difficulty breathing and lack of energy. Ms. A. reported that her symptoms apparently worsen during her menses. Patient also stated that she has been dealing with menorrhagia and dysmenorrheal for about 10-12 years. Furthermore, she takes 1000 mg of aspirin every 3-4 hours during…
