Barium swallow

I had the opportunity to observe a Modified Barium Swallow Study at Arkansas Children’s Hospital this semester. It was informative, interesting, and sparked left me researching unfamiliar terms as I left the study. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this observation experience and I feel as though it is one of the most, if not the most, beneficial hands on experiences I have had thus far. The differences between pediatrics and geriatrics have been discussed, taught, and even viewed through video

As a child, I was faced with a lot of adversity. My grandmother raised my brothers and me. We lived on government assistance with little money and no car for transportation for extracurricular activities. The hardships we faced compelled me at a young age to stay in school, go to college, and make something of myself because I did not want to live a life limiting my dreams and opportunities. Throughout my academic career, there was not a specific moment that solidified my desire to pursue a profession

Barium Swallow A barium swallow is an X-ray exam that is used to evaluate the area at the back of your throat (pharynx) and the tube that carries food and liquid from your mouth to your stomach (esophagus). For this exam, you will swallow a white chalky liquid called barium. X-rays are done while the barium passes through your pharynx and esophagus. The barium makes it easier for your health care provider to see possible problems in this area. A barium swallow may be done to check for various problems

Barium swallow Patient clinical details The patient was referred to the Radiologist from his GP, because of ongoing pain and difficulty when swallowing. The patient was 45years old male, consumed alcohol regularly and a heavy smoker. Due to the clinical details the radiologist decided to perform a barium swallow this allows for the best visualisation of the internal structures, mainly the upper gastrointestinal tract and the stomach. Barium swallows show any strictures or narrowing 's in this region

The video that was observed was a three-year child that was given a modified barium swallow. The child is diagnosed with a microdeletion of the twenty-second chromosome. He also suffers from multiple heart defects, scoliosis, immune deficiencies, and developmental delays. The child's oral preparatory, oral transport, pharyngeal, and esophageal stages of swallowing were observed during the modified barium swallow. The child was first presented with a liquid. During the oral preparatory stage, the

ADMIN NO: 1027325 CLASS: DFST/FT/2B/21 � SYNOPSIS The objective of this experiment is to determine the amount of sulphate by gravimetric analysis. The amount of sulphate is determined quantitatively as barium sulphate, BaSO4, by gravimetric analysis. For the experiment, a dilute solution of barium chloride was slowly added to a hot unknown sulphate solution slightly acidified with concentrated HCl. The precipitate is then filtered off by suction filtration, washed with water and dried in the oven

Reem Tahomi Chemistry 227 November 5, 2017 Which Alkali Metal Carbonate Abstract: The purpose of this lab was determining which alkali metal carbonate composes a given unknown sample by using three different methods. These three methods of flame test, simple weight loss calculation, and gravimetric analysis method were used to identify the properties and the molar mass of the unknown given sample. After doing the previous tests, it was discovered that the metal was Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate), and

Almost all of the barium consumed commercially is obtained from barite, which is often highly impure. Barite is processed by carbothermal reduction (heating with coke) to give barium sulfide: BaSO4 + 4 C → BaS + 4 CO In contrast to barium sulfate, barium sulfide is soluble in water and readily converted to the oxide, carbonate, and halides. To produce highly pure barium sulfate, the sulfide or chloride is treated with sulfuric acid or sulfate salts: BaS + H2SO4 → BaSO4 + H2S Barium sulfate produced

talking about the day in the barn, Larry says, ”On a day like that, the only really nice place to be was the barn. It was warm, filled with a pleasant mixed aroma of hay and fur and dung, and with the mysterious clucking, cooing sounds of the barn swallows high up in the third loft.” (King 2). This quote indicates that Larry thought of the barn as a homey and warm place. He does not dislike the setting of his childhood home, despite the fact that is sister almost died on his terms while they were there

Section 401 Formal Lab Report 1 09/21/2017 Gravimetric Analysis of Sulfate Formal Lab Report Abstract:     Three measures of unknown sulfate salt was measured and placed into three beakers with water, Hydrochloric acid, and Barium Chloride. The solutions were heated until Barium Sulfate precipitated and the solutions were filtered through ashless filter papers to collect the precipitate. The filter papers were combusted until only the BaSO4 remained, and the precipitates were massed in crucibles. Using
