More Americans have died during the Civil War than any other war. 620,000 soldiers died in the line of duty. Two-thirds of these didn’t die from wounds.

Anesthesia is a crucial component to ensuring the comfort and safety of a patient during a surgery, but anesthetic methods were not developed until around the time these photographs were taken.

Some managed to get their hands on various narcotics including opium, cocaine, and marijuana; they were all very useful for numbing pain, but extremely addictive.…

2. Experimental 2.1. Materials and reagents Analytical grade bentazon was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, chloroform and acetic acid were purchased from Merck and were analytical or HPLC grade. Methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as the cross-linker and α,α′-Azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were purchased from Merck (Hohenbrunn, Germany). MAA was distilled under vacuum to remove the inhibitor prior to polymerization.…

minutes. = 10 -5.23 = 4.7 umol/ 2ml (divide both sides by 2) = 2.35 mM After 25 mins the concentration is 2.35 mM of glucose. Question 10 Consider the 15 min sample from flask 1. There was 18 045 dpm in the chloroform extract. If this sample has not been extracted in chloroform, but had been counted without lipid/aqueous separation, how many dpm would you have counted? 5 mM = 5 mmol/ ml 100 uL = 0.1 ml Therefore 5 mmol/ 0.1 ml (times both side by 0.1) = 0.5 mmol/ ml = 0.5 umol/ ml…

In the 1860s, there was neither a doctor nor even nurse that had yet come up or establishes biology and was semi dumb of the causes and reasons of such diseases in the 1860s. In the Civil War doctors went too medical school for only about two or four years more of school. Now in the Civil War time period medical improvements were so little, they practically wasn’t there at all, and that goes the same for doctors. The medicine time in the 1860s was the new start of the equipment that we use today…
