compared the volatile components of soy protein isolate (SPI) and acid-hydrolysed soy protein and concluded that the significantly higher lipid content of SPI was responsible for green or beany odours attributed to high levels of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones. The formation of undesirable lipid-derived products may be minimised by centrifugal…

URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS Abstract UTI is one of the most common infection to affect people all around the world in today's world, putting a huge load on the health care system cost wise. Because this problem is so common and so significant in routine clinical practice, a high level of diagnostic accuracy is essential. The urinary tract infection (UTI) which involves urethra, bladder or kidneys can be infected, the majority of UTI are not serious and can be treated by antibiotics but if not…

Epilepsy is classified as a central nervous system disorder otherwise known as a neurological disorder, this means nerve cell activity in the brain is disorganized caused by an electrical disturbance thus triggering seizures, unusual behavior, odd symptoms and abnormal sensations. Another name for epilepsy is seizure. Epilepsy can start within a person at any age but is more common in young children and the elderly. According to Mayo Clinic, “About 1 in 26 people in the United States will…

Breathing is not just a matter of breathing through inspiration and expiration. Abnormal breathing patterns deals with the absent of breath sounds at certain times and the presence of normal breath sounds in certain areas where they are normally not heard. There are different types of abnormal breathing patterns that are caused with certain illnesses such as Cheyne-Stokes respiration, Kussmaul breathing, Biot’s respiration, apnea, paradoxical breathing and apneustic breathing. There are…

Additionally, I will do a review of systems to elucidate more information regarding his medical history since numerous medical conditions could affect dental management (Wilson, Kornman, Steffensen, & Sottosanti, 2003). Furthermore, because diabetes affects multiple organ systems, it is important to determine if complications have set in. Complications of diabetes include premature vascular disease such accelerated onset of non-specific atherosclerosis or serious microangiopathy affecting the…

The New Zealand government should establish a tax on all unhealthy food and beverages If you were to walk down the street right at this moment and look around, what would you see? You would most likely see street signs, animals, buildings and people. However if you were to look specifically at the people you would most likely find that not many people are in good shape, they are either overweight or obese. According to the world health organization, obesity worldwide has doubled since 1980 and…

underlying infection, disruption of insulin treatment, and new onset of diabetes” (Hamdy, 2014). DKA is characterized by blood glucose of higher than 300 mg/dL resulting in the breakdown of fat for the body to use for energy causing an accumulation of ketones in the blood and urine. The patient may have an altered mental status, fruity smelling breath, fever, chills, abdominal pain, coughing and chest pain. The patient with DKA may also be dehydrated. It is important to maintain fluid volume…

Overview of Fermentation Fermentation is looked as an anaerobic process. The process breaks down glucose in the absence of oxygen. The energy released from glucose would convert into acids, gases or alcohol. Fermentation would take place when the electron transport chain would not be used. Fermentation would occur in yeast cells, bacteria and in muscle cells of animals. For most methods of fermentation metabolism, glycolysis would involve the breaking down of 6 carbons into two…

This experiment is still under optimization, I keep losing cells after infection and this might be due to the addition of TPCK-trypsin (L-(tosylamido-2-phenyl) ethyl chloromethyl ketone). TPCK-trypsin helps the virus to infect the cell through cleaving the HA protein into HA1 and HA2. According to Lee et al the optimum TPCK-trypsin concentration that can be used to infect DF-1 cells with IAV is 0.1 mg/ml (Lee et al. 2008). I am planning…

ketoacidosis, which is brought on by long periods of hyperglycemia, or high blood glucose. The body doesn’t have enough insulin to allow the cells to use the glucose in the blood to create energy, and thus turns to burning fat, which has a byproduct of ketones, which are acidic. If the process continues for a long period of time, it can throw off the pH of the blood and cause the blood to become very acidic (O’keefe). Another cause of metabolic acidosis is lactic acid buildup due to anaerobic…
