Many environmental factors play a role in the health of your unborn child therefore creating a risk factor for your child developing cerebral palsy. Small habits such as smoking drinking alcohol and use of any illicit drugs is putting your unborn baby at risk for permanent and potential health One of the most common questions about cerebral palsy is, is cerebral palsy genetic? 'A growing body of evidence ' suggests that cerebral palsy is a result of a combination of genetic factors, like those…

Preterm Birth Almost one million children die each year due to complications of preterm birth. That is 1 in 10 babies (“March”)! Preterm birth, also known as premature birth, is the birth of a baby at less than 37 completed weeks of gestational age. Theses babies are known as “preemies”(“March”). NICU Manager Hope Garcia of South Carolinas Spartanburg Regional medical center states that the unit cares for 450 preterm babies each year. “Preterm birth is a huge problem, especially in the county.…

Early intervention programs are provided all over the United States to premature infants to age three, but sometimes it can even go beyond if approved during certain situations. Early intervention programs vary from state to state with rules and regulations, but overall it helps children that are born with disabilities or developmental delays during the time they should be developing the skills that a normal developing child would have developed. These children can be either be environmentally…

Key concepts Chemistry Chemical reaction Acids Bases Water Introduction Have you ever had a refreshing bath with bubbles or bath salts? What if you could use chemistry to create a bath-time treat that incorporated both fizzing bubbles and soothing salts? Such a combination does exist, and it's called a bath bomb. If you have never experienced one, these "bombs" become fizzy when they touch the water. Why? It is due to a chemical reaction taking place between different ingredients within the…

In this study, the effect of benzenethiol ligand on CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots was investigated. Conventional long-chain oleic acid (OA) and trioctylphosphine (TOP) capping ligands were partially replaced by short benzenethiol ligands, and the improvement in the luminescence performance was observed in quantum dot light emitting diodes (QD-LED). Approximately 1.8 fold improvement was achieved for both the maximum luminance and maximum current efficiency for the QD-LEDs fabricated with…

Assignment: Chemistry of Magnesium and Silicon Magnesium Properties Magnesium is a group is a group 2 element with the symbol, Mg, an atomic number of 12 and has a molar mass of 24.31 [1]. It is made up of 12 protons, 12 neutrons, and 12 electrons. It’s electron configuration is 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2 this given as noble gas configuration is [Ne]3s2. It has a melting point of 650 °C and a boiling point of 1090 °C [2]. It has a metallic radius of 150 pm, a coordination number of 72(6), and a density of…

Rationale I decided to turn this lesson into a flipped lesson as the topic on ionic bonding is something very microscopic and I feel it would help students to develop a more concrete understanding of an abstract topic. By recording the lecture which includes a step-by-step guide on drawing a dot-and-cross diagram, the weaker ones will be able to study at their pace and choose to pause or rewind should they not understand. This helps them to understand the concepts better, as opposed to going…

The element Magnesium got its name when it was discovered. It is a silvery white metal that is highly reactive. Its chemical symbol is Mg and atomic number is 12. Its atomic mass is relatively 24. Therefore, it has 12 protons, 12 neutrons, and 12 electrons. According to Steve Gagnon in “The Element Magnesium” Magnesium was isolated by Sir Humphry Davy, an English chemist, through the electrolysis of a mixture of magnesium oxide and mercuric oxide in 1808. Magnesium has a melting point of 650°…

Strength and Workability of Magnesium Silicate Hydrate Binder System H.M. Tran, A. Scott Abstract—The novel binder system of magnesium silicate hydrate has the advantage of low-CO2 production and potential use for structures and nuclear waste immobilisation. This paper discusses the experimental study to optimize proportions of cement paste and mortar for compressive strength and workability using magnesium silicate hydrate system. Binary systems containing magnesium oxide and amorphous silica…

study was to prepare and evaluate mucoadhesive tablet of pantoprazole using tamarind seed powder in combination with HPMC, magnesium oxide, and talc. Tamarind seed powder is used for dissolution enhancer (improve dissolution). Method: Six Formulations were developed with varying concentration of polymer like HPMC and other excipients like tamarind seed powder, magnesium oxide and lactose. Result: The formulations were evaluated for hardness, thickness, surface pH, weight variation, content…
