2,4-Dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) with molecular formula HOC6H3(NO2)2 is an organic yellow crystalline solid with sweet and musty odor. It is soluble in organic and aqueous alkaline solutions and has the ability to sublime. It is biochemically active compound and act as ionophore by shuttling the proton across mitochiondria and chloroplast membrane to dissipate heat instead of producing ATP [ Mechanism of uncoupling in mitochondria: uncouplers as ionophores for cycling cations and protons, PNAS, R J…

Teratogens are operators and conditions, including infections, drugs, chemicals, stressors, and ailing health, which can hinder pre-birth improvement and lead to conception surrenders or even passing. Teratogens have a tendency to mischief the pre-birth cerebrum, influencing what 's to come youngster 's scholarly and passionate working. Albeit all teratogens build the danger of mischief to the creating tyke, none ALWAYS cause harm; a definitive effect relies on upon the complex interaction of…

having trouble waking up and potentially took ecstasy. Many parties recently have been using ecstasy for pleasure. The drug has many bad side effects however, including nausea, chills, sweating, muscle cramping, dehydration, high blood pressure, hyperthermia, and several others. 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) also known as ecstasy is a…

One hazard that can occur is seasickness. Seasickness is caused by the constant commotion of waves. If this occurs, a diver gets an extreme feeling of nauseousness (Berger 117). A couple hazards that arise to a divers body are hyperthermia and dehydration. Hyperthermia is understood to lead to heat stroke and takes place when a divers body cannot keep body heat regulated. Dehydration occurs when more water is lost through activity than is taken in (Berger 119). Two hazards that come from…

WHAT IS BIKRAM YOGA? With the increasing popularity of Bikram yoga classes in the United States, it is important to understand what separates this type of yoga from the others to determine if it’s the right match for you. Bikram yoga can be condensed into a unique fusion of hot yoga and hatha yoga. Hatha yoga signifies simply that an individual is passing through a series of postures, and hot yoga is performed in a heated room. Bikram yoga combines these two types of yoga by offering a…

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a hereditary gene that has less than 100 known cases that occurred in the United States (Yasuhiro 2008). It comes about from a mutation in the NTRK1 gene, a gene which affects the surface nerve cells that transmit pain, temperature and touch (Congenital 2011). This means that the nerves can no longer transmit signals and the person afflicted with this disease can can no longer feel anything, such as pain, temperature, and touch. Most…

their beaks it can cause pneumonia, liver damage, and many other live-threatening conditions. When birds lose their feathers their skin becomes exposed to sunlight and temperatures it cannot handle. This can result in hypothermia (too cold) or hyperthermia (overheating). All feathers on a bird have to be aligned just right where the water will not seep through in any way. Feathers have microscopic barbs and barbules that are the vane of each one. These stick together like Velcro and form a…

Name: Heat stroke (hyperthermia) Overview: Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature falls below the warning level and the heart can no longer pump enough blood to make it flow through the whole body. Hypothermia occurs when the temperature of our body drops below 35 degrees Celsius or 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Causes: Hypothermia caused as a result of exposure to cold weather- without adequate protection - for an excessive time, in wherein the body is no longer able to produce the heat…

Introduction As homeotherms, humans have the ability to control thermoregulatory mechanisms: physiological processes that are critical to maintaining core temperature within a very narrow limit. Although peripheral temperature fluctuates regularly & often largely in response to ambient temperature, core temperature must be maintained within a tight window in order for the human body to function properly. Throughout the course of circadian rhythm, the body’s core temperature can fluctuate by up…

patients a feeling of control over their Cancer. Radiation therapy is using high-energy particles to destroy or damage the Cancer cells. Radiation therapy is the most common Cancer treatment. It can be used by itself to with other treatment types. Hyperthermia is using heat to treat the Cancer. This method has been used for a long time but never had constant results. Since the knowledge of medicine has grew, doctors are now able to have a more precise heat delivery. Blood transfusions are…
