count, liver panel and serum glucose with electrolyte levels that may show signs of thyrotoxic crisis (Crawford & Harris, 2012, p. 47). Regular follow-up appointments should be scheduled and the nurse should teach the patient to avoid foods high in iodine (Crawford & Harris, 2012, p. 47). “Patients with Graves disease should notify their healthcare provider if they develop periorbital edema, eye irritation, blurred vision, and excessive tearing worsened by exposure to cold, wind, or bright…

it to the first drop of iodine in the spotted white tile. 12. I noted the colour. 13. I discarded the mixture in the eye dropper and got a new drop from the test tube. I tested it with the second drop of iodine. It was important to always get a fresh drop of the mixture from the test tube since it cooled rapidly. 14. I repeated the test at 10 second intervals until I reached the endpoint of the reaction, the point at which the mixture remained the same colour as the iodine solution. 15. I…

After using a search engine, I researched the differences between Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism. Although, many people might confuse the terms due to their similarities in their spellings. There are many differences between them but the main difference, in my opinion, is the change in the production of the gland activity, Underactive vs Overactive Thyroid glands respectively. Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland. This means that the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid…

Vitamins are a small group of small molecular compounds that are vital in multi-cellular organisms; particularly humans. Ascorbic acid, which is commonly known as vitamin C is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and a lack of vitamin C can result in variety of illnesses. A common illness from a lack of ascorbic acid is; scurvy. Scurvy causes edema of the gums, exhaustion, and sometimes ulcerations of the gums.…

A.2. Procedures for proper storage of the classroom chemicals General Requirements for Classroom Chemical Storage Store all chemicals inside a locked cabinet with sturdy shelves. Label cabinet with warning label and contents. Secure cabinets and shelving to the wall or floor. Segregate chemical storage away from students in a ventilated, locked storeroom. Chemical Segregation Store acids in a labeled, locked, corrosion resistant cabinet. 1 M hydrochloric acid, HCl acid; storage code: White.…

under their supervision, treating it with natural supplements and lifestyle changes. What is the Thyroid? The thyroid is a small-butterfly shaped gland located in front of the neck, below Adam’s apple. The function of the thyroid is to convert iodine from food (with the help of tyrosine, an amino acid) into hormones called thyroxine or T4 and triiodothyronine or T3. A healthy thyroid gland produces 80% T4 hormones…

Biochemical tests are used to detect the presence of different kinds of organic molecules, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. These tests include the Benedict’s Test, Iodine Test, Sudan III Stain Test, Biuret Test and many others. With these tests, the nutrients from an unknown solutions can be identified in the solution. The Benedict’s test is used for identifying reducing sugars, which are simple sugars that include monosaccharides and some disaccharides. The Benedict’s…

Introduction As humans are unable to produce Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) but still require it for proper body function, humans obtain Vitamin C from external sources.1 Historically, citrus fruits, which have a comparatively higher amount of Vitamin C, were eaten to achieve proper amounts of Vitamin C or prevent scurvy. During the age of long sea voyages, where fresh food was scarce, scurvy was prevalent and extremely detrimental .2 However, fruit was not always available or economically feasible.…

The optimized PF0 encapsulated hybrid NCs formulation was achieved by a two-step process (Fig 1) using nanoprecipitation and subsequently coating with chitosan. In Step-I, the nanoprecipitation technique was used to prepare PF0 loaded BSA NCs (PF0-ANC). In this nanoprecipitation technique, acetone was used as a desolvent [40]. Varying concentrations of PF0 solutions (125µM - 375µM) and BSA solution (156.25µM – 468.75µM) (Table 1) were mixed in a glass vial. The PF0 BSA solution was then added…
