Management of Fluid overload in Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) Chronic Renal Failure is a long term serious irreversible condition‚ described as the gradual loss of kidney function (McCarthy‚ et al 2009). The number of patients suffering from CRF in United Kingdom (UK) is rising rapidly. Ferenbach and Wood (2005‚ p.16) state that in UK‚ about 6000 people are commencing dialysis treatment per year. Fluid overload is a frequently observed finding in renal failure patients. About one third of the patients

Investigation into how pH levels affect Catalase activity in potato samples – (enzymes) Introduction: The aim of this investigation is to understand and monitor the effects pH levels have on catalase activity within controlled potato samples. Catalase is a type of enzyme that is found widespread among organisms that grow in the presence of oxygen (almost all living things) its specific use is to speed up the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) within cells. Hydrogen peroxide is a bi-product

The majority of my results produced the expected bell curve on my graph. However‚ I believe due to human error the results were incorrect between temperatures of 60Ëšc and 80Ëšc causing this area of my graph not to follow the pattern of my initial prediction. I have also noticed that the highest rate is at a slightly higher temperature than I expected‚ though this may be due to the large difference in temperature between each sample. As the temperature was increases the molecules were
