CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND STUDY Wastewater in the textile , plastic, paper and cosmetics industry is a major threat to the environment. The volume of wastewater produced starts from different processes throughout from the pretreatments to the final treatment. The contents found in the wastewater are complex, having inorganic and organic compound chemicals in it and aquatic lives are at risk. Some of these wastes have even caused mutation in genetic coding of the marine…

Identification of Arrhythmias in Cardiac Patients The identification of cardiac arrhythmias is paramount in hospitalized patients. On a telemetry unit the various arrhythmias are closely monitored and recorded by monitor technicians. Cardiac nurses observe each patient carefully throughout the day and monitor the signs and symptoms that go hand in hand with each of the arrhythmias. On the various telemetry units of Good Samaritan Hospital, patients can often be in critical condition and need…

Preformulation Study Preparation of calibration curve of Amoxicillin trihydrate [51,53,76] Preparation of stock for Hydrochloric acid Stock solution in 0.1N Hydrochloric acid (0.1N HCl): 10 mg of Amoxicillin was accurately weighed and transferred into 10 ml volumetric flask. It was dissolved and diluted to volume make up to mark with 0.1N HCl to give stock solution containing 1000 µg/ml, after than 1ml take to from 1000 µg/ml and dilute to volume make up to mark of 10ml volumetric flask with…

sclerosis (MS), stroke, and spinal cord injury (SCI). According to Rekand (2010), tizanidine is more effective than oral baclofen on cerebrovascular injury related spasticity, yet its use is limited due to somnolence, dry mouth, dizziness, prolonged QT interval and hallucinations, if it exceeds the recommended dose (Ciccone, 2016; Rekand, 2010). Furthermore, tizanidine has been shown to enhance the hypotensive effect of cardiac medications, increase the effect of sedatives -hypnotics, as well as…

to outweigh the risks. Other adverse effects that Amiodarone causes: dizziness, fatigue, malaise, and headache. It could potentiate for serious side effects including: respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary toxicity, CHF, QT interval prolongation, and toxic epidermal necrolysis. These are serious and life threatening. (Nursing Central) It is also contraindicated for pregnant women and patients with iodine allergies. My patient may be at some high risk because of his many…

The Mechanics of the Heart An electrocardiogram, or EKG/ ECG, is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of the heart and its electrical patterns. An electrical signal is sent through the heart to produce contractions that move the blood. This is what an EKG measures. In total that test may take from five to ten minutes and are ordered by a doctor to examine the heart more close. An EKG is done while the patient is lying down completely still (in order to reduce artifact or…

0.20 g of adsorbent was added to 20 mL of 50 mg/L dye solution and Vortex at 150 rpm for various time intervals at 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, minutes. The above steps were repeated using dye concentrations of 100, 150 and 200 mg/L dye solutions. Adsorbent dosage is an important parameter because it determines the capacity of adsorbent for a given initial concentration of dye molecules. Then their % absorbance’s were calculated by spectrophotometer (λmax=410) and thus amount adsorbed were calculated.…

The pain with the peptic ulcer is usually located near the midline in the epigastrium near the xiphoid and may radiate to the back or shoulders. The pain occurs in periodicity,which tends to recur at intervals of weeks or months and is relieved by food or antacids. The other major complications of peptic ulcer disease are hemorrhage, perforation and penetration, and gastric outlet obstruction. An erosion of an ulcer into an artery or vein can cause hemorrhage…

Rufinamide (Banzel) was designated as an orphan drug for use in the treatment of seizures that are caused by Lennox—Gastaut syndrome in patients older than four in 2004 by the FDA (Food and Drug Adminsitration).¬¬¬¬¬1 Lennox—Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a epileptic disease, commonly found in children, that is characterized a high rate of injury from seizures as well as a wide range of treatment-resistant seizures. In the past treatments were inadequate, leaving patients without much, but after the…
