Acid-base balance for the electrolytes in our bodies is very important for maintaining homeostasis. If our acid-base balance is disturbed and gets higher or lower, conditions take over for our bodies to bounce back from. Normal pH balance for adults is between 7.35-7.45 in arterial blood. If a change in blood pH becomes higher or lower, it leads to acidosis or alkalosis. Here will be discussing two types: respiratory acidosis and alkalosis and metabolic acidosis and alkalosis. Respiratory…

Doctors all around Australia are urging people to get the Measles (MMR) vaccine now more than ever. The need for this vaccine is growing and there is a suspected outbreak soon to come with the season of Spring ahead. Australians are becoming more at risk of developing measles, mumps or rubella, all infectious diseases caused by the Morbillivirus. It targets the nose and throat, and spreads easily through the air by sneezing, coughing and breathing. The MMR vaccine was scientifically engineered…

Cymbalta (Duloxetine), Dalcipran (Ilnacipran) and Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine). • Benzodiazepines – Valium (Diazepam), Xanax (Alprazolam) • Phenothiazines – Thorazine (Chlopromazine) • Electrolyte supplements – Calcium Carbonate (TUMS), Potassium Cl, Calcium Gluconate and Potassium phosphate. Treatment Goals The initial goal of treatment is to reestablish a healthy weight and learning proper nutrition, while also treating any psychiatric issues. Nursing Interventions 1. Monitor VS, electrolytes…

Acid-Base Case study 1 The acid base balance of the body is mainly regulated by respiratory and renal system together with the body ‘buffer system. For the body to function normally, the hydrogen ion (H+) needs to be concentrated within a narrow range, represented as pH, which determines the acidity and alkalinity of a solution. Changes in the bicarbonate (HCO3) concentration causes metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis while changes in the rate of alveolar ventilation and carbon dioxide…

If they are sown after mid-august into cultivated ground, there can be an application of up to 50kg P2O5/Ha at SNS 0 only. All the Phosphate, Potassium and Boron the crop requires should be applied at sowing, with a small amount of Nitrogen to get the crop started. The bulk of the N should be applied at a later date. (RB209 Fertiliser Manual, 2010) Legislation When growing a forage crop such as…

Primarily, it is created in the intestinal tract, usually from the bacterial degradation of nitrogen found in ingested food, filtered out into urea by the liver, and excreted by the kidneys. The ammonia that is breathed in is usually also immediately breathed out. Ammonia that is ingested is also immediately absorbed into the bloodstream and is excreted immediately or turned into a less harmful substance. Its most toxic effects are found at the areas of direct contact such as the mucous…

of pH 3.0 to 5.0 theoretically ((#3 Ninfa, Ballou, Benore). Based on theory, pH 4 that we used in this experiment should be optimum pH for albumin and phenyl red binding. Materials: • A packed gel- chromatography column with sephadex G-25 • 0.1 M Potassium Phosphate buffer at pH 6 • 0.1 M Sodium acetate buffer at pH…

Edamame is rich in isoflavones which is similar to estrogen. Isoflavones are known to have properties as anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, anticancer, and antimicrobial. These can regulate inflammatory responses, fight microbes, slow down aging in cells, and even protect against certain types of cancer. The two rich isoflavones in edamame are genistein and daidzein which could be used to improve breast cancer treatment. Another food that can help with aging is tofu. Tofu contains isoflavones,…

Recently in class we have watched other scientists conduct experiments and show how six elements ( Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium ) reacted if they were added to water. Each scientist had did this experiment on each element except Francium so, we inferred that Francium had the worst reaction and must be dangerous. So because of curiosity, we have conducted the same lad to see how these elements reacts ourselves. In this lab, my group and I had to examine chemical…

sequence of the reactions employed for the construction of novel indole–benzimidazole-based 1,2,3-triazole hybrids is demonstrated in Scheme 1. Compound 2 was prepared by treating propargyl bromide with 1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (1) in presence of potassium carbonate in dry acetone at reflux temperature [26]. Compound 2 was further reacted by heating at reflux temperature with o-phenylenediamine (OPDA) in chloroform for 6 h afforded compound 3. Compound 3 coupled with variously substituted azides…
