heart disease, stroke, and heart failure.3 It is estimated that 4.6 million Australian adults have high blood pressure which is a major risk factor for CVD, accounting for 32% of the population.2 Salt is a chemical compound made up of sodium and chloride. It is commonly used to season and preserve foods in both the food industry and private homes. People are often unaware of the amount of salt they consume from processed food.4 It has been generally believed…

time (“Nitroglycerin (Transdermal Route),” 2015). Potassium Chloride (KDur). Prior to hospital admission, Mr. Borg was taking 40 mEq by mouth, twice a day, to regulate his potassium levels while taking Lasix. Supplemental potassium chloride (KDur) is needed in patients who have lost too much potassium because if illness or treatment with other medications. (“Potassium Supplement (Oral Route, Parenteral Route),” 2015). Potassium Chloride (KDur). During Mr. Borg’s hospital stay, his potassium…

E-number food additives, their chemistry and role in food Since the dawn of time, humans had using several simpler and yet natural food preservation techniques such as preserving meat using salt, or immersing onions and cucumber in a jar of vinegar to keep the food fresh and last longer. The method of preserving food had been evolved over a significant period of time. (Heldman, 2003) Food additives are either a natural or synthetic substances which was added intentionally to food to improve the…

Report 5 Title Detecting possibility of expressing disease condition and presence of cystic fibrosis (CF) associated mutation (△F508 and G551D) in DNA sample using allele specific polymerase chain reaction (ASPCR). Abstract Elevated levels of blood immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) may be obtained in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), when it is detected in primary screen, DNA analysis is performed to look for the 12 most common mutations associated with CF. This study aimed to investigate…

visible light spectrum is the color red and the most energy is violet. According to the data found in the experiment we come to the conclusion that the least energy is Lithium Nitrate due to the color being a dark red and the most energy is Potassium Chloride due to its color being a shade of purple. From this experiment we can learn that to test the energy of a solution we only need to burn the solution and observe the color. The experiment…

who digests the dechlorinated water. On the other hand, sodium ascorbate is neutral and will not affect the pH of the treated water or substance. Sodium ascorbate reacts with hypochlorous acid to produce dehydroascorbic acid, sodium chloride and water. Sodium chloride is a neutral salt, thus, poses less harm than the production of the hydrochloric acid when ascorbic acid is…

In Elmira, NY, 65,000 residents rely on the Elmira Water Board to provide a fresh source of surface water. Local filtration plant produces on a daily average 2.26 billion gallons of fresh drinking water, which approximately 6.2 million gallons are used on average each day. Approximately, six million residents of the state consume an average 110 gallons of drinking water per day, per person. New York State Dept. of Health evaluates the water quality throughout the state as well as the Elmira…

the copper color shine like new, which then allowed us to have a clean surface to experiment on. This was mostly a physical change but their was a slight chemical reaction because of the acidity of the vinegar. We then heated granular zinc and zinc chloride solution with the penny in a dish on a hot plate until it boiled. We removed the penny with tongs and placed it in a beaker of water, immediately noticing the copper penny was now a bright, metallic silver. Visually it was clear…

Imagine yourself turning on the faucet like every other day and seeing the clear sparkling water. But wait, it isn’t that sparkly today. Even so, you pour it into the glass for your kid. Then you see it turns into a yucky brown color. You think it’s still okay, but it’s not. The Flint water crisis is a tragedy where the governor of Flint made a mistake by not telling one of the poorest cities in the U.S. , Flint, Michigan about lead in their water. If we are going to help the residents of…

When you think Sodium what do you think of? Well when I think of sodium I go back to biology and remember learning about the elements and how our bodies. We are made of so many chemicals, like salt which is sodium chloride, Water which is Hydrogen and oxygen, and electricity. Now let's look at what your Cardiovascular health is. Cardiovascular problems, which are problems that affect the heart and blood vessels, are some of the greatest overall health problems in the United States and around…
