Secondary excitotoxicity is thought to be more relevant to chronic neurodegenerative disorders than the classical acute form. In this pathway increased glutamate levels are not required as disturbances with the neuronal resting membrane potential cause glutamate receptors to be over-activated by physiological levels of glutamate. In a neuron which is affected by another pathological process and shows reduced ATP production‚ Na+ dysfunction or impaired glucose metabolism and as a result has an abnormal

The movie Juno is fiction and came out in 2007. It is about Juno MacGuff a 16 year old high schooler who gets pregnant after her first time having intercourse with Paulie Bleeker‚ who is also in high school. Although 9 years old‚ this movie is still extremely relevant in today’s society in regards to teen pregnancy. It tackles all the different options one can take and how emotionally‚ physically‚ and mentally challenge this decision is‚ especially when you’re a teen. Psychologist David Elkind theorized

Introduction: The pharmacokinetics of a drug describes the journey of a drug through the body i.e. its absorption‚ bioavailability‚ distribution‚ metabolism and excretion. Opioids are substances (endogenous or synthetic)‚ which produce ‘opiate-like effects’. Opiates are alkaloids derived from the Papaver somniferum poppy e.g. Morphine‚ Codeine (a morphine-like agonist) and Methadone (a synthetic analogue of morphine) and are primarily used as analgesics.[1] Discussion: Morphine has a 4-ring structure

purpose of a synthesis essay is to make insightful connections. Those connections can show the relationship(s) between parts of a work or even between two or more works. It is your job to explain why those relationships are important. In order to write a successful synthesis essay‚ you must gather research on your chosen topic‚ discover meaningful connections throughout your research‚ and develop a unique and interesting argument or perspective. A synthesis is not a summary. A synthesis is an opportunity

Keith Joung‚2‚3‚4 and Toni Cathomen1 Abstract Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) are a powerful tool that can be used to edit the human genome ad libitum. The technology has experienced remarkable development in the last few years with regard to both the target site specificity and the engineering platforms used to generate zinc-finger proteins. As a result‚ two

Introduction The American Chemical Society databases were investigated through Scifinder Scholar Version X to find any information about Butyl 2-Cyano-(3‚5 dichloro-phenyl)-2-propenoate. There was no previous information present. Then‚ the microscale synthesis and characterization of Butyl 2-Cyano-(3‚5 dichloro-phenyl)-2-propenoate was conducted with the base catalyzed Knoevengael condensation of the butyl cyanoacetate and corresponding aldehyde (gkharas/235_14F/235_14F_Lab_2.pdf) and analysis. The elemental

A gene is a sequence of nucleotides‚ it is important because they form the template and these templates are used for synthesizing proteins. 3. a. Transcription is the first step of protein synthesis it uses a sequence of DNA nucleotides to produce a sequence of RNA nucleotide. b. RNA polymerase bonds to RNA nucleotides together

In the experiment‚ synthesis of copper compounds‚ the purpose was to recover the original amount of copper after series of chemical reactions. Then returning the copper back to its original form. The copper wire originally weighted 1.0099 g‚ but after the copper was transformed into Cu(OH)2 to CuO to CuSO4 and finally into Cu‚ the mass of the recovered copper was 1.1023g; the percent yield was 109%. Since the percent yield is more than 100%‚ an error must have occurred somewhere in the lab. A possible

Synthesis of Aspirin and Tylenol Kyla Wykoff Abstract Aspirin and Tylenol were synthesized by means of crystallization‚ recrystallization‚ and melting point determination. Synthesis produced significantly high percent yields for aspirin‚ however‚ produced extremely low and impure percent yields for Tylenol. A second group was also used to compare results and errors‚ in which they too were also producing extremely low percent yields of Tylenol. Therefore‚ error was based on the specific protocol
