It is that time of year again. The time where the leaves change color, the temperatures go down, and everyone gets sick. The cold and flu season has arrived and everyone is at risk. Germs and viruses are being spread and many try to take the proper precaution to avoid them. One group that is particularly at risk is infants and newborn babies. Since their immune system is still developing and it is not as effective as that of an adult, infants can get sick easily and take long to recover from it…

Propranolol serum levels may be increased if taken with protein rich foods. Diets rich in carbohydrates and low in protein have also be shown to have been beneficial as low carbohydrate/high protein diets tend to increase propranolol’s oral clearance. Smoking also increases…

Glomerulonephritis Mitchelle Hamilton Millers College of Nursing BSN 6 November 5th, 2015 Abstract Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a type of kidney disease that involves the glomeruli. These are very small, important structures in the kidneys that supply blood flow to the small units in the kidneys that filter urine called the nephrons. During glomerulonephritis, the glomeruli become inflamed and impair the kidney's ability to filter urine. This can be a routine condition in childhood.…

blood-contacting devices and hemostatic material are a critical issue in the different field applications.45 Hence we evaluated the in vitro blood compatibility of the oxidized amylose inclusion complex/collagen based on the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA), the blood-clotting index, and the degree of…

Hypertension is the most common medical disorder in pregnancy ranging from 12% to 22%, and is directly responsible for 17.6% of maternal deaths in the United States (Davidson, 2012, p. 461). Hypertension in pregnancy is classified into four groups: preeclampsia-eclampsia, chronic hypertension, chronic hypertension with superimposed eclampsia, and gestational hypertension. The most common type of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy is preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a syndrome that affects…

Circular Dichroism (CD) fundamentals. CD is defined as the difference between absorptions of left (Al) and right (Ar) circularly polarized light beams, CD=Al-Ar For each absorption band, the CD of two enantiomers are always exactly opposite. Theory. For each electronic transition one can define an electric (µij≠0) and a magnetic (mij≠0) transition dipole. Both can lead to absorption of radiation, the intensity of which is directly related to the oscillator strength f, fij≈| µij |2+ | mij |2 In…

In this research paper, the functional relationship between protein named Albert and Alice will be prove using two advance techniques. Most of the molecular processes within the cell are carried out by protein-protein interaction (PPI), diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease can caused by abnormal PPI. As prior knowledge has advocate that this two proteins may have similar cellular pathway, therefore understanding if they have PPI becomes vital. There will be two methods described in this…

INTRODUCTION: Alcohol is a part of New Zealand culture and is considered as an inevitable factor for celebrations and for relieving stress (“Alcohol misuse”, 2016). Long-term high rate of alcohol consumption can lead to alcohol misuse and make people dependent on alcohol. It has now become a very common thing to see an alcoholic patient presenting to the hospital frequently to treat the withdrawal symptoms. Most of the patients admitted with Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS) have multiple…

There are a variety of different factors promoting or inhibiting post-operative wound healing. Rund et al (1) covers many factors linked to wound healing such as smoking, oxygen availability, nutrition, hyperglycemia, alcohol intake, and patient adherence. First of all, smoking exerts a pervert effect on peripheral vasculature. For instance, a single cigarette causes a decrease in O2 because of ligation of carbon monoxide (CO) to hemoglobin and nicotine has an added effect of peripheral…

instructions numbered 2-6 on page 11 exactly, but we modified the procedure prescribed on page 13. We used pre-stained proteins, as instructed on page 13, but we did not warm the samples prior to adding them to the wells. The proteins we used were bovine serum albumin (BSA), which we loaded in the first well on the left (see Figure 1); ovalbumin, which we injected into the second well; cytochrome c, which we added to the third well; and lysozyme, which we inserted into the fourth well from the…
