The Tubes

green lighted a new weight loss device which will enable obese people to drain 30 percent of their stomach contents after eating through a surgically placed tube in the stomach. The device named AspireAssist, developed by Aspire Bariatric, consists of a tube inserted into the patient’s stomach through a small incision in the abdomen. The tube connects to a port valve which lies just outside the skin of the abdomen. It remains in place throughout the duration of treatment, according to the Wall…

Step One Identifying the patient by name and date of birth is one of the most important steps. As a medical professional you want…

1g: there was a bigger reaction than the 0.5g, the liver dissolved a little bit and the test tube got warmer and the color changed to yellow. 2g: the bigger piece had the biggest reaction, there was a lot of gas in the test tube, the stopper popped out of the test tube and the test tube was very warm, the liver bubbled a lot and fizzed a lot. Processed Data: Time (s) (Minutes) Trial 1 Gas Pressure (kPa) Trail 2 Gas Pressure (kPa)…

transferred to the same tube that contains CaCl2. This tube will be suspended until no clumps of cells are visible and the cell suspension looks cloudy. 250 uL of “- DNA” will be transferred to “+ DNA”. The “+DNA” tube will be added 5 uL of each pFluoroGreen and pFluoroBlue. Two tube of E.coli, now, will enter to the “heat shocked” cycle. At first, they will be incubated in ice for 10 minutes, before dipped into the 42C water bath for 90 seconds. Immediately, students will return those tube to…

(enzyme) where hydrolysis occurs consequently splitting sucrose into glucose and fructose. However, in our experiment, we used the enzyme amylase which hydrolyzes starch into simple sugars like glucose. In the experiment, we prepared seven test tubes two of which were control. One control contained zero milliliters of amylase, one milliliter of water and three…

Agarose Gel Electrophoresis 1. Obtain our four H, E, L, and P labeled micro tubes and place them on ice. 2. Set the micro pipet to 2.0 ul. 3. Transfer 2.0 ul blue dye to each of the four H, E, L, and P micro tubes. 4. Mix the four micro tubes by using this two-step method: * Place each tube briefly on the vortex to get the components to collect at the bottom of the micro tubes * Pulse spin the four micro tubes in the centrifuge to mix all of the components completely. 5. Obtain the DNA…

broad groups. We talk about the infertile group and the sub-fertile group. Infertile is like impossible meaning it could be because there's no sperm, there is no vagina, there is no cervix, there is no uterus, there are no patent or open fallopian tubes, there are no ovaries, there are no eggs coming from the ovaries. When we talk about sub-fertile we're meaning that perhaps there is some sperm, but there's less of it or it's…

The purpose of this experiment is to quantify the air quality and emissions of a local Nacogdoches Tadarida brasiliensis, Brazilian Free-Tailed bat colony. Concentration of ammonia, particulate matter, fungi and bacteria were measured to assess air quality. The guano at the base of the garage was also analyzed for nitrogen and carbon content. The colony briefly lived in the north end of parking garage on East College Street and Raguet Avenue until its untimely removal. The colony could be seen…

tests must be used in order to ascertain which specific bacteria that a person may have. 2. Biochemical Tests: One of the biochemical tests used involves a SIM tube. To do a SIM test first take an inoculating needle and sterilize it first and take some…

Introduction The experiment will be working with diffusion and osmosis; it will test if the starch will travel through the semi permeable membrane (dialysis tube) causing osmosis. Diffusion is when a substance is highly concentrated turns into a lower concentration, and is evenly distributed throughout. An example of diffusion is when you cook and the smell of food flows until it in dynamic equilibrium; which is the even distribution of the substance. Osmosis is the movement through a semi…
