This time her vital signs were absent, her skin was warm without mottling, and the pupils of the eye were dilated but reacted slowly to light. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was instituted without success, and Cindy Black was pronounced dead. Departure from professional standards of nursing care: In every nursing malpractice case the defendant nurse's conduct is measured against that of a reasonably prudent nurse under the same or similar circumstances. Departure from the professional standards…

starting a ketogenic diet is to lower the amount of carbohydrates you eat until your body goes through a process called ketosis. This is when the body changes its main energy source from glucose, which comes from carbohydrates, to fatty acids and glycerol, which come from fats. When I tell people that I eat just a lot of meat with vegetables, their eyes often widen in disbelief as they tell me that eating so much fat makes you fat. On the contrary, a study about the long term effects of the…

Skin prick test: SPT is the most common allergy test performed in an allergy clinic by specially trained staff. SPT is a simple, safe and quick test, providing results within 15-20 minutes. pricking the skin with a needle or pin containing a small amount of the allergen.It is the primary mode of skin testing for immediate IgEmediated allergy. It is widely practiced, carries very low (but not negligible) risk of serious side effects to patients and provides high quality information when…

QXT2- Task 6 “No man is an island no man stands alone”, no entity on Earth can survive without interacting with abiotic factors. Organisms strive daily for survival. Their survival is predicated on receiving enough energy and nutrients to carry out metabolism and maintain homeostasis. Survival of a species is determined by the fitness of an organism within its environment and how successful it is at passing its genes on to its progeny. When examining the interactions that must be carried out…

Background DNA molecules can be too big to analyze through electrophoresis, some they must be cut up into smaller pieces. In order to cleave dsDNA at the specific sites, making sure each fragment contain the desired sequence, restriction enzymes are used. Restriction enzymes can recognize a specific sequence of nucleotide and hydrolyze the bond of the DNA backbone. Hence, the fragments from the same DNA source will also be the same if cleave by the same restriction enzymes. Restriction enzymes…

Notice: Not a lot of brain cells were damaged in the production of this paper. When this paper first began, I found my opinion about the liver was not the best. I believed that the liver is valuable but only produces waste, which is no fun. However, as I began to research the liver and how it plays a huge part in my daily life it changed my perspective. Most things that humans ingest go through the liver at one point or another. The Liver has the ability to turn ineffective or pointless…

Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Since the discovery of the four classes of macromolecules (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids), researchers and biochemists have fine-tuned methods that reveal structural information about each of them. Different structural properties determine different functions and chemical properties, and scientists have developed intricate techniques to observe, quantify, and isolate molecules based on their aforementioned properties. Agarose gel electrophoresis,…

INTRODUCTION Background The macrocyclic organic molecules Phthalocyanines (1) which are comparable to the naturally occurring porphyrin (2) ring systems shown in (Figure 1). The porphyrin molecule consists up of four pyrrole subunits which are associated in n-conjugation by methine carbons. 1 2 Figure 1: structures of phthalocyanine and porphyrins molcule The compound…

1. Discuss ways in which the body's metabolism adapts to conditions of fasting/starvation. How do these adaptations affect the rate of weight loss when dieting? Metabolism is defined as the sum of all the chemical reactions that go on in living cells. These chemical reactions include the making and breaking of the bonds in carbohydrates, fats, and proteins; how the body obtains and uses energy from foods, or energy metabolism. During the process of metabolism, the body releases energy, water,…
