Medical Surgical Nursing II: Sickle Cell Anemia-Case Study The following case study is about sickle cell anemia. This disease process is more common in those of African-American decent and simplified means that a patient’s blood cells are abnormally shaped which causes different manifestations as well as complications. There is no cure for sickle cell anemia/disease, but it is treatable. A potential complication is acute kidney injury (AKI), as mentioned in this case study as well. AKI is a…

Introduction The amount of soil and groundwater contamination is enormous. There are many documented cases of groundwater contamination in Australia and all other parts of the world. Experience from Europe and North America suggests that it will become a serious problem in the future. Groundwater is water below the earths surface. Groundwater contamination occurs when man made products like oil, gasoline and fertilisers get into the groundwater and causes it to become unsafe for human use.…

Synthesis of PEG-RAFT agent The synthesis of the macro PEG -RAFT agent, Chain Transfer Agent (CTA), was performed by esterification method. Briefly, RAFT agent (0.4 g, 1.5 mmol) and dihydroxyl PEG (2g, 0.5 mmol) were dissolved in 35 mL of DCM in a 250 mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer. Then, it was placed in an ice bath (0 ºC); Next, DCC (0.25 g, 1.2 mmol) and DMAP (0.015 g, 0.12 mmol) were added. After 30 min of stirring at 0 °C, the reaction temperature is elevated to room…

This article is a basic article that explains the absorption and digestion of lipids in our body. The author, unknown, goes into extensive detail concerning the break down by use of bile acids to break down large molecules. No experimentations were made. No arguments or sides were taken in this article. This article just sums up the basis of lipid absorption and…

For a large part of History, Jehovah Witnesses have often been ostracized and somewhat unwelcomed throughout the world, due to the sometimes misunderstood religious perspectives they have. Jehovah Witnesses do belong to the larger religious group of Christianity but also have many distinct beliefs that separate them from many modern day Christians. The beliefs they have can influence their relationship to health and health precautions, and may have lasting impacts on their population…

Throughout time, people have always marveled at the ability to be able to preserve a moment for all eternity whether it be scrawling it down, painting a portrait or taking photographs. Photography is a very integral part of our lives today with how it's evolving and how everyone and their mother are recording virtually anything of interest. Newer tools like iphone cameras and phone applications that allow you to edit and mess around with photos are one of the things that never would have been…

JACKSONS ZONES OF TISSUE INJURY Jackson’s Burn Wound Model provides a model for understanding the pathophysiology of a burn wound. Primary injury is the zone of coagulation nearest to the heat source . This zone has irreversible tissue necrosis at the centre of the burn due to exposure to heat, chemicals or electricity. The extent of the injury is dependent on the duration and the temperature of exposure . Zone of Ischaemia is the zone surrounding the central zone of necrosis in which there…

1. Which impurity particles are larger, the one causing the water to be cloudy or the one causing the water to smell? Explain. The common problems with water are colors, smells and tastes. First, there are several problems of colors. Brown, red, orange, or yellow water is usually caused by rust. The different colors can be attributed to varying chemical oxidation states of the iron (rust) and by varying concentrations of the rust in the water. Moreover, blue or green color is generally a result…

Discussion To understand the functional diversity, composition, structure and dynamics of rhizospheric diazotrophs communities under sugarcane-legume intercropping, we carried out this study to examine the effect of different cultivation systems on the stability of the soil properties and rhizospheric diazotrophs. Previous studies have investigated that soil microbial diversity, soil enzyme activities and crop yield could be affected by land management practices and all these soil properties…
