Gold Nanoparticles for Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer Abstract—Nanotechnology has been an extremely hot topic over the decade. It is the science‚ engineering and technology conducted at nanoscale. Two of the main applications of nanotechnology include material science and biomedicine. We have achieved great strides in applying nanotechnology to material science that is well justified by the decreasing size of electronics available in market. However we haven’t made a mark in biomedicine yet

HYPERNATREMIA) AND SODIUM BALANCE (HYPOVOLEMIA AND EDEMA) Literature review current through: Sep 2013. | This topic last updated: ene 15‚ 2013. 1. INTRODUCTION — The plasma sodium concentration is regulated by changes in water intake and excretion‚ not by changes in sodium balance. hyponatremia is primarily due to the intake of water that cannot be excreted hypernatremia is primarily due to the loss of water that has not been replaced hypovolemia represents the loss of sodium and water edema

a mercury electrode where a metal can be reduced‚ the metal will often then dissolve in the mercury to form an amalgam that modifies its electrochemistry greatly. For example‚ it is possible for sodium cations to be reduced at a mercury cathode to form sodium amalgam‚ while at an inert electrode (such as platinum) the sodium cations are not reduced. Instead‚ water is reduced to hydrogen. A detergent or fine solid can be used to stabilize an emulsion‚ or third phase. Contents [hide] * 1 Measures of

Microbiology Lab Quiz #2 Study Guide Exercise 9 -- The Gram Stain Compare and contrast simple and differential staining techniques. Simple Staining Simple staining is useful in determining the basic morphology of an organism. Simple staining involves only one reagent i.e. crystal violet‚ basic fuchsin‚ or methylene blue. Simple dyes used to stain bacteria have a positive charge cationic (+)‚ therefore‚ they are attracted to the bacteria that are usually negatively charged anionic (-) Depends

commonly defined as a serum sodium concentration ≤135 meq/L [2]. An overview of the causes of hyponatremia will be presented here (table 1). Most of the individual disorders are discussed in detail separately‚ as are issues related to diagnosis and treatment [1‚3]. (See "Diagnosis of hyponatremia" and "Overview of the treatment of hyponatremia".) It should also be emphasized that‚ in selected patients‚ multiple factors may contribute to the fall in the plasma sodium concentration. Symptomatic

Amines are aliphatic and aromatic derivatives of ammonia. Amines‚ like ammonia‚ are weak bases (Kb = 10−4 to 10−6). This basicity is due to the unshared electron pair on the nitrogen atom. Classification and nomenclature of amines Amines are classified as primary‚ secondary‚ or tertiary based upon the number of carbon-containing groups that are attached to the nitrogen atom. Those amine compounds that have only one group attached to the nitrogen atom are primary‚ while those with two or three

Determination of an Electrochemical Series In electrochemistry‚ a voltaic cell is a specially prepared system in which an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs spontaneously. This spontaneous reaction produces an easily measured electrical potential which has a positive value. Voltaic cells have a variety of uses and you commonly refer to them as a “battery”. Half-cells are normally produced by placing a piece of metal into a solution containing a cation of the metal (e.g.‚ Cu metal in a solution

characteristics that redox reactions do. Basically‚ redox reactions can be described as a group of reactions that focus on the transfer of electrons. Similarly to acid-base reaction‚ a reduction reaction must be happening simultaneously with an oxidation reaction (Masterton‚ 2008). A loss of electron is called oxidation while reduction is an increase of electrons. Electrons are transferred to the oxidant on redox processes. The reducing agent in the reaction loses electrons and is therefore oxidized. The oxidizing
