1. The different reaction rates between the potato and chicken liver indicate that one of the substances contain more catalase than the other. The reaction rate between the chicken liver and the hydrogen peroxide was quite fast as opposed to the potato and hydrogen peroxide which was at a slow to a moderate rate. This is most likely due to the fact that cellular respiration occurs more often in animals than plants, meaning that they would have a higher ammount of catalase. 2. Test tube 5 had a…

Blood clotting is a crucial process in your body. It hinders excessive bleeding when you injure your blood vessels. Platelets and proteins in the plasma work jointly to halt the bleeding through forming a clot on the injury. However, some blood clots may be harmful. During some surgeries, doctors use medications to hinder the formation of blood clots. An example of a drug used is Heparin. Using Heparin poses some Heparin side effects. What are the side effects of heparin? Before thinking about…

inflammation, increases in blood viscosity and reduced fibrinolysis being responsible (Cheng et al., 2013). Mixed OCP is believed to have a synergistic effect with smoking (Pomp, Rosendaal & Doggen, 2008). Evidence suggests a link between OCP, coagulation and fibrinolysis abnormalities, which are further exacerbated by smoking, through increases in plasma fibrinogen and factor XIII (Tapson, 2005). The combination is believed to cause an 8.8-fold increased risk, when compared to non-smoking women…

tumors in the whole liver, and (iv) contraindications to resection as first-line treatment. Patients were not eligible for RF treatment in cases of extra hepatic metastasis, severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh class C), or significantly abnormal coagulation test results (prothrombin activity < 40%, platelet count…

For some of the them, the plan is simple: it's time to cut back on the sweets. For others, it's time to stop drinking. Yet the video takes a turn with Pharoah having some fun with an inflatable doll and Drake cosplaying as a wizard. The bizarre coagulation of personal goals makes the video verge more so on the side of odd than funny. It can reasonably be interpreted that the video aims to jab at people’s rather pathetic burst of motivation that spurs them to paint grand pictures of a better-me.…

Haemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that impairs the body’s ability to coagulate or clot blood; it is caused by a deficiency or absence of a specific coagulation factor, usually factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX). People with haemophilia will experience longer bleeding after an injury, easy bruising, and spontaneous internal bleeding. As of now, there only on-demand or instantaneous treatments consists of concentrate infusions of the missing factor and aims to improve a patient’s…

ULTRALIFT What HIFU? High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) lifts and tightens skin for a nonsurgical face lift and neck lift. It is truly remarkable, breakthrough in technology offering a non-invasive face lift. HIFU technique uses the power of Ultrasound to safely lift and tighten the skin. Ultrasound is nothing but the form of energy which is significantly different than light such as IPL and lasers or Electrical energy. HIFU technique can protect the skin surface. In HIFU technique,…

It prevents fibrin formation in the coagulation pathway via thrombin generation inhibition. It inhibits both factor Xa and IIa (anti-Xa effects >20 times anti-IIa effects). It is more selective in factor Xa inhibition than LMWH. Danaparoid half-life is prolonged in renal impairment; it may be…

The primary method of diene synthesis was used to report other reactions of this type for over 30 years. Diels and Alder reckoned the general widespread and nature of the Diels-Alder reaction and occupied most of their work and studies developing the consequences of the reaction. Kurt Alder focused attention towards the ease with which the reactions take place and the high caution of adduct. His early work involved the addition of cyclo pentadient to a p-quinone. The product of this reaction was…

Does the amount of lemon juice in milk affect the amount of curds produced? Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to determine whether or not adding more drops of lemon juice to the milk, would increase or decrease the mass of curdled milk formed. Background Information: Curd is a substance formed when milk begins to sour, or in this case, when lemon juice was added to it. The longer milk sits out, the more curds will form, just like when adding more lemon juice to the milk. As more lemon…
