Reaction Paper On Salicylates

A chemical reaction is when substances (reactants) change into other substances (products). The five general types of chemical reactions are synthesis (also known as direct combination), decomposition, single replacement (also known as single displacement), double replacement (also known as double displacement), and combustion. In this lab, the five general types of chemical reactions were conducted and observations were taken before, during, and after the reaction. Then the reactants and observations were used to determine the products to form a balanced chemical equation. The purpose of this lab was to learn and answer the question: How can observations be used to determine the identity of substances produced in a chemical reaction?

Absorption – “How the drugs enter the circulation process through the body, and how they resist general breakdown by the stomach, liver, and the intestines”. Some of the factors that affect the absorption of drugs in the body is as follows, “acidity of the stomach, Physiochemical properties, Presence of food in the stomach or intestine, and Routes of administration”,

Aspirin also known as acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains, as an antipyretic to reduce fever, and as an

1. First, 3.0015 g of salicylic acid were measured using an electronic balance. 2. The salicylic acid was then transferred into a 150 mL beaker.

During the absorption of Codeine by the GI tract, maximum plasma concentration can occur 60 minutes post of administration.

The aim of the emergency treatment of hyperammonaemia is to achieve physiologic stabilisation. This is realised through adjunctive treatment including intravenous fluids, and as a last resort, haemodialysis to remove ammonia. On the other hand, the main goal of ongoing management of all UCDs is maintenance of plasma ammonia levels in a normal range by: restricting protein intake, avoiding periods of catabolic stress, and using nitrogen scavenger drugs to allow an alternate pathway for the excretion of nitrogen precursors 1, 9, 10, 12, 15. Administration of N-carbamyl-L-glutamate, also called carbamylglutamate or carglumic acid, is beneficial in several different conditions presenting with hyperammonemia 1, 5. Carglumic acid is

This experiment consisted of two parts. The first part will involve preparing a salicylate calibration curve using a series of known salicylate standards. The second part determined the salicylate concentration in two blood serum samples using the calibration curve created in the first part of the experiment. The purpose of the experiment was to find out which sample could be considered a person who had an overdose of aspirin.

Additionally, her medications included chlorhexidine liquid for mouth care, Colace for bowel care, famotidine for prevention of gastric acid, folic acid, thiamine and multiple vitamins due to patient being on enteral feeding and nothing by mouth, gabapentin for peripheral neuropathy, heparin for prevention of thrombus formation, hydralazine for management of hypertension, Furosemide/Lasix for diuresis to remove extra fluid from tissues and bloodstream thereby reducing swelling and promote breathing for management of pulmonary hypertension. Moreover, her medications also included regular insulin for blood glucose management, albuterol for respiratory management, melatonin for promotion of rest and sleep, methylprednisolone sodium for interstitial lung disease management, quetiapine/Seroquel for agitation’s role in tachypnea and Clindamycin/Cleocin as prophylactic for infection prevention. She also completed a course of Cefepime antibiotic from 2/17-2/21 and Vancomycin from 2/17-2/19.

The acute crisis of metabolic decompensation in MSUD is a deadly dangerous medical case that demands immediate action to lower concentrations of leucine and other BCAA in plasma. This aim can be reached by using Intravenous mixtures of amino acids , which deals with the process of protein synthesis , however these mixtures are not generally available and requires medical care and continuous administration , that what lead to developing enteral mixtures suitable for administration by nasogastric drip in minimal volume along with provision of water and calories intravenously , to reduce concentration of Lucien and other BCAA in patients with acute crisis of metabolic decompensation in MSUD. This way proved

Controls in these studies did not consume aspirin, but rather acetaminophen. In the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis study the three cases that were examined and compared developed persistent vomiting, noninflammatory encephalopathy, and showed an increase of serum salicylate level, which is linked to an increase of aspirin ingestion. Compared to the children receiving long-term aspirin therapy whom did not develop RS, these symptoms are strongly associated with RS. The animal experimental study results found that those with an arginine deficient diet and influenza infection and/or aspirin treatment had increased levels of SOCTase, SGOT levels, and liver lipids, and eventually went into a deep coma. Serum ammonia levels were also elevated among these groups. This study however does not correlate well with humans, as an arginine deficient diet would exceed the levels used within the ferrets. Lastly, in the Hospital for Children study previously mentioned, an association with RS and aspirin consumption was found, however the next study found no statistically significant association between aspirin ingestion and

The patient that was presented in the ER had a severe headache, unusual degree of sweating (diaphoresis), inability to produce or control body movement (motor dysfunction), abnormal sensation with no apparent physical cause (paresthesia), feeling of sickness with the urge to vomit (nausea) , and an ascending paralysis that spread to the upper body, arms, face, and head along with a bluish discoloration to the skin (cyanotic), inadequate ventilation (hypo-ventilating) and also developed a slow heart rate (bradycardia) with a BP of 90/50. The diagnosis was still unclear at this time with an un-known medical history but atropine was administered to treat for the bradycardia. There was a diagnosis of tetrodotoxin poisoning based on the current symptoms therefor a hydration IV, a stomach pump (gastric lavage), and activated charcoal were administered to treat the symptoms. Within a few hours the patient’s condition improved greatly and he was on his way to a full recovery from the effects of the poisoning with a BP of 125/79, HR 78bpm, and oxygen saturation of 97% on room air, “the fraction of the hemoglobin molecules in a blood sample that are saturated with oxygen at a given partial pressure of oxygen. Normal saturation is 95%-100 %”( medical dictionary, 2009).

The purpose of this experiment is to separate a mixture of salicylic acid and naphthalene using extraction, recrystallization and sublimation techniques. Extraction is the separation of compounds from a mixture based on their relative solubilities in different solvents. Sublimation is the process of separation by which a substance transitions from the solid phase into the gas phase, skipping the liquid phase. Recrystallization involves dissolving a substance in an appropriate solvent then crystallizing it as it cools (impurities remain in solution). The melting points of the substances were determined in order to assess their purity and the percent recovery of pure naphthalene and salicylic acid were calculated. According to the results, the melting point of pure naphthalene was between 86°C -89°C range, whereas for pure salicylic acid was 167°C -170°C. Both determined melting points were higher compared to the literature value of 80.26°C and 158.6°C for pure naphthalene and salicylic acid respectively. Lastly, the percent recovery for pure naphthalene and salicylic acid were 17.7% and 71.2% accordingly.

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationship between the sides and the angles of a triangle. The word trigonometry was derived from the Greek word trigonon which means triangle and metron for the word measure. While the other branch of mathematics, geometry which means earth and measurement, is concerned with the properties of space and figures.

According to documentary “poison water” by Nova “Since the late 1950s, G.M. closed seven major facilities in the region. Tens of thousands of jobs were lost. In 2011, with the city close to bankruptcy, Governor Rick Snyder stripped power from city officials and assigned a series of emergency managers to fix Flint's financial crisis. ” In order to save money, Michigan state took over Flint and started using it as their water source stating from April 2014.The switch from lake Huron to Flint river ended up being a awful to the residents. The flint water was not being treated inadequately. Even though the government of Michigan knew about this, they weren’t willing to do anything about it. Because of that, the residents were being affected in many ways. The residents started noticing that the water was starting to have an odor and changing colors. On top of that, they started noticing that the water was affecting their children's skins and that the water is thinning their hair.This is not the only way the residents are being affected. From the unmonitored excessive amount of led that is out in Flint's water, these people are exposed to possibly permanent lead poison and other health effects.These people can’t even move out because it's almost impossible to sell their houses in the arias that are affected by this water,and these residents are forced to stay and knowingly use the contaminated water.
