241 and Ibuprofen Solutions

This experiment was centered on metabolic and biochemical testing procedures. The rationale of performing these tests was to distinguish six different microbes from one another and to compare how their metabolic and biochemical processes differ from species to species to determine the unknown sample.

Heart rate of daphnia fell from an average of 274.455+/-26 beats per minutes to an average 246.868+/-71 heart beats per minute. After performing Mann-Whitney U statistical test, this difference in heart rate was found to be statistically not significant.

The experiment was conducted by a number of individuals to see how the effects of a substance would have an effect on a Daphnia. The Daphnia’s were placed in multiple different substances environment to see the effect it would have on their heart rates. When doing the experiment the first step was to take the Daphnia and put it a Water solution to observe the heart rate of the Daphnia and record the heart rate. Recording of the heart rate were taken for when the Daphnia were in the Water solution that way they could compare with the next solution which was Caffeine.

To conduct this study a culture of living Daphnia were collected from a nearby natural water source area.

Daphnia is an order of cladoceran that are a part of the genus of small crustaceans ranging from one to five millimeters in length (Campbell, 2004; Corroto 2010). Daphnia are also naturally transparent, allowing for a variety of research opportunities that are observable with current day technology. Water fleas are another name for Daphnia due to their distinct, jerky swimming patterns (Chin, 2011; Campbell, 2004). Additionally, Daphnia seem to have tufts of hair, relatively large eyes, and red “lips”. Daphnia also feature an ocellus, a light-sensing organ under the compound eye (Chin, 2011; Corotto, 2010).

To conduct this study a culture of living Daphnia were collected from a nearby natural water source area.

Remember to use an efficient counting method and count the Daphnia’s heart rate for 15 seconds, multiply all your trials by four to get the beats per minute. Do no less than five trials to be accurate. Keep in mind that you need to test the Daphnia’s heart rate in its regular habitat before performing the

Daphnia belong to the phylum of arthropod; the subphylum of Crustacea; the class of brachiopod; and the order of Cladocera.

Daphnia are Crustacea. Crustacea are animals that have ten legs, four antenna and two main body parts. Most live under water. Some examples of Crustaceas are Crayfish, Shrimp, and Crabs. Daphnia are filter feeders. They eat small particles of algae and bacteria. Some are carnivores and eat other water fleas. Daphnia live in fresh water places such as ponds and lakes. They are found living in the vegetation or near the bottom of the body of water.

It is important to understand the adverse complications of NSAIDS which includes increased mortality, morbidity and increased health care cost. Providers should discuss potential adverse effects of NSAIDS to patients and also review medication list as some patients may be taking multiple NSAIDS without understanding the adverse effects of NSAIDS and recognize patients at risk for developing adverse events. It is one of the most preventable causes for hospital admissions in the elderly. Patients taking NSAIDS are more likely to be hospitalized versus those not taking

Over the past year, heroin has become even more deadly as the drug is now being laced with the elephant tranquilizer carfentanil. An April 27, 2017, article in Ars Technica describes the drug as being 100 times stronger than fentanyl and 10,000 times stronger than morphine. Carfentanil is a derivative of fentanyl, and it comes in the form of a pill, a powder, or a patch on the streets. It only takes two milligrams of carfentanil, which is the same as a few grains of salt, to knock out a 2,000-pound elephant. A person ingesting this amount of carfentanil will die.

This experiment is being performed to show the effect of pH levels on daphnia by changing pH levels and measuring the heart rate.

1. Make a wet mount (Ex 12) of a small sample of the alfalfa water. Examine at 1000X total magnification using high contrast. This will illustrate how many organisms, both motile and non-motile, are present in the sample.

Education- Patient education-medication such as Ibuprofen is one of the most effective treatment for dysmenorrhea. With using Ibuprofen which in in the medication class called NSAIDs there is increased risk for gastrointestinal events such as bleeding, ulceration and intestinal perforation. Lifestyle changes that may improve primary dysmenorrhea symptoms include, exercising, healthy eating habits and taking omega-3 (AHRQ, 2010). Report any symptoms of gastrointestinal complications to MD office

The purpose of the experiment is to see how different variables affect pulse rate and blood pressure.
