In young children bloody diarrhea is a common sign of an invasive enteric infection which may cause severe dehydration and malnourishment leading to bloody diarrhea (AAP‚ n.d.). The common infecting agents are Campylobacter‚ Salmonella‚ Yersinia‚ Shigella and E. coli. While bacterial infections may also be present in older children and inflammatory bowel disorders

Dehydration is defined as a loss or insufficient levels of water and important blood salts like potassium and sodium in your body. Important organs like the kidneys‚ brain‚ and heart cannot function properly without water and salt. Signs of dehydration include fuzzy short-term memory‚ trouble with basic math‚ and difficulty focusing on computer screen will occur if less

Nate Rhodes The Synthesis of Alkenes: Dehydration of Cyclohexanol Organic Chemistry Lab 1 Tuesday 8:00 11/08/11 Paul Jackson Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to form cyclohexene from cyclohexanol through a dehydration reaction. Cyclohexene was successfully synthesized according to the bromine test performed and the IR spectra. There was a percent yield of cyclohexene of 76.1%. Introduction: Alkenes‚ hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond‚ are important

The water came from outer space to Earth. The water was brought to the planet for the comets. The water has a different structure for each state (gas‚ liquid‚ ice). Liquid water has random molecules. On the other hand‚ the ice has a more stable structure. The different structure between ice and liquid water can explain why the ice has less density than liquid water. Temperature is responsible for increasing the dissolution of components‚ and electrical conductivity. Pure water is not a good conductor

The result of his skin turgor test indicates late signs of dehydration (patient had skin with poor turgor)‚ and the presence of tenting in the skin indicates the severity of his dehydration.

The symptoms of dehydration in adults include tiredness‚ dizziness‚ headache‚ muscular cramps‚ sunken eyes‚ passing little urine‚ dry mouth and tongue‚ weakness‚ and irritability. When dehydration becomes serious‚ the symptoms are general body weakness‚ confusion‚ rapid heart-rate and coma. The reason indigestion happen

Keeping patients hydrated by giving them enough clean water and monitoring their fluid intake to prevent dehydration effects‚ such as dizziness and dry mouth‚ is seen in the RCN’s enhanced nutritional care‚ which was formed using Florence Nightingale’s theory on keeping a clean environment for the patients’ recovery. In Nightingale’s environmental theory‚ making sure that the water is clean and pure can prevent patients from getting sicker when around patients who have other diseases instead of using

(polymers) are made of smaller subunits (monomers). The bonds between these subunits are formed by dehydration synthesis. This process requires energy; a molecule of water is removed (dehydration) and a covalent bond is formed between the subunits (Fig 1). Breaking this bond is called hydrolysis; it requires the addition of a water molecule and releases energy. Figure 1. Dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis of a polymer. Each class of these macromolecules has different structures
