Ketone

Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up of organic substances such as Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon (Rapidlearningcenter.com 2015). They normally have a two to one hydrogen to oxygen ratio and can be classified by the empirical formula Cm (H20)n where m and n could be possibly different. Some biologists refer to carbohydrates as hydrates of carbon and they are technically correct. Alternately, there is no possible empirical formula that can describe lipids. Lipid must be identified…

This process of breaking down fats instead of carbohydrates, results in the body creating substances called ketones. Too high of a ketone level makes the blood acidic, which can result in a serious complication called Diabetic Ketoacidosis (ADA, 2015). In J. J.’s situation her blood sugar was 695, and she was in Diabetic Ketoacidosis. She was airlifted to Children’s Hospital…

are consistently high. This can happen when a severe lack of insulin means the body of the patient cannot use glucose for energy, and therefore the body starts to break down other body tissue as an alternative energy source. Ketones are the by-product of this process. Ketones are poisonous chemicals to the body which can build up and cause the body to become acidic, 'acidosis '. This condition often occurs in type 1 diabetes patients but can develop in anyone who depends on insulin treatment.…

Anisole is activating. The reason it is considered to be activating is because of the electron pairs on the ether molecule. Furthermore, the electrons activate the benzene ring which makes it more reactive. On the other hand, if benzoic acid replaced anisole in the experiment, it would act as a deactivating group. Carboxylic acid pulls electrons from the benzene ring acting as a withdrawing group which causes a slower reaction with the increase of stability and decrease in reactivity due to…

Patient should use of silica gel or air midsoles as well as polyester or blend (cotton-polyester) socks to prevent blisters and keep the feet dry to prevent trauma. Proper footwear is important and must be emphasized for individuals with vascular disease.17 Physical therapist must monitor closely for blisters and other potential damage to their feet, before and after exercise. 17 She has adhesive capsulitis and for that, Physical therapist check for sensation before treatment of hot modalities.…

In Experiment 12B we used an umpolung reagent in an umpolung synthesis to synthesize benzoin from benzaldehyde. Umpolung synthesis is a synthetic approach that allows us to switch the identity of a reacting species. For example, the normal chemical reactivity of a nucleophile can be switched to one of an electrophilic compound. Two common agents are cyanide and thiamine (Vitamin B). The mechanisms for both agents are the same. In this experiment, thiamine was used to turn benzaldehyde, an…

Complications go from eye, neuropathy, ketones, stroke, and heart disease. Diabetics are higher-than-average risk of having a heart attack. Heart attacks strike people with diabetes twice as often than people who don’t. Two out of three people die from heart disease. Diabetics have an increase…

Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus During Pregnancy Type 1 diabetes (type 1 diabetes mellitus) and type 2 diabetes (type 2 diabetes mellitus) are long-term (chronic) diseases. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough of a hormone called insulin. In Type 2 diabetes, one or both of these problems may be present: • The pancreas does not make enough insulin. • The cells in the body are less responsive to the insulin that is made (insulin resistance). Normally, insulin moves sugars from…

The results obtained in this experiment correspond well with the expected outcomes. At 0oC, the product formed was white indicating that it must be cyclohexanone semicarbazone. This is further confirmed by the observed melting point of 166.5oC. These results deviate by only 0.5oC from the expected melting point of 166oC for this compound. This particular reaction is controlled kinetically and occurred because it had the smallest activation energy. Then after forming this compound, the reaction…

There is a huge number of diets which can help a person to lose weight in a short term and Atkins diet, also known as Low Carb diet, has been applied for decades. In 2003, Dr. Gardner and Balise from Stanford University, California conducted a study comparing Atkins, Zone, Ornish, and LEARN Diets for changing in weight among overweight woman. They experienced randomly in 311 free-living, obese women; divided them into four groups and let them try four diets. The results demonstrated a…
