question: Which pill coating results in highest dissolution rates? This is important because dissolution of medicine such as ibuprofen prior to absorption maximizes effectiveness. Therefore‚ understanding how tablet coatings can affect dissolution time will be beneficial to consumers. Hypothesis: If the three types of pills are submerged in an acidic solution of pH 4.5‚ the gelatin coated capsules will dissolve quickest. This hypothesis came to be because gelatin is made mostly of proteins which tends

a case of a 40-year-old man who is a binge drinker. These are not just the people who indulge in huge quantities on a weekend. Binge drinking is defined as drinking twice the recommended limit in any one sitting. He developed severe abdominal pain which radiated through to the back. The pain had started suddenly‚ 15 hours before admission to the hospital. He had no previous history of gastrointestinal disease. On examination‚ the patient was mildly shocked and his abdomen was tender in the epigastric

pH and Chromatography Lab Report Kevin Rivera Biology Mr. Langley 2C 10/7/13 Introduction In this lab‚ of pH and Chromatography‚ in the pH aspect of the lab we are trying to figure out the pH level of certain chemicals by writing down of known solutions to find the type of unkown solution using pH standards. In the Chromatography‚ we are trying to separate the chemicals using water and a piece of paper. Methodology Materials: Safety Goggles pH indicator & pH indicator key

The role of salivary amylase in the digestion of starches remains controversial. In the absence of pancreatic amylase‚ the key enzyme for starch digestion‚ salivary amylase may well represent a potential compensatory alternate pathway for the digestion of amylose‚ amylopectin‚ and glycogen. Clinically significant depression of pancreatic amylase occurs in chronic pancreatitis‚ pancreatic resection‚ pancreatic neoplasm‚ cystic fibrosis‚ and other causes of pancreatic insufficiency. Quantitation

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to check the time needed for salivary amylase and phosphorylase to produce a negative result and how different concentrations affected those times. Enzymes are biological catalysts that can cause a specific chemical change in any part of the body (Walsh‚ 2002). Many of the reactions that take place within a cell would normally take place at temperatures substantially higher than those present inside a cell (Alberts et al.‚ 2010). Because of this‚ these chemical

Through the testing the enzyme at different temperatures‚ and different pH levels; it would determine at which temperature and pH level the enzyme worked the most efficiently. Analyzing absorbance of the solutions with spectrophotometery will determine the reaction rate. To test the optimal pH‚ the starch and a buffer were combined at a specific pH level and

The pH Scale is a scale made to show how acidic or alkaline a substance is. The pH of something is measured with pH paper which can vary from wide range paper‚ which covers all ph’s‚ but is not as accurate at some others. There are pH papers that get very specific that can have a range such as 2 or 3 and get much more precise. The neutral on the scale is 7. Anything that is below 7 is considered acidic and anything above 7 is considered alkaline. Acidic substances contain more H+ than OH-. H+

Teen Angst and the Essence of Adolescence The Highest Tide has two prominent themes‚ exploration of marine life and teen angst. The main character‚ Miles along with his other adolescent friends and foes (A.K.A.‚ Frankie Marx) perfectly exhibit the symptoms of the phenomena that is teen angst. Symptoms such as defiance of authority figures‚ self-centered tendencies‚ emotional turmoil and adventures of sexuality both fit under the category of teen angst/adolescence and are examples presented in the

Procedure: Day 1: Buffer preparation First‚ the buffer was prepared by using the formula as follows: Figure 1: Calculation for prepare 0.5 M Tris buffer at pH 6.8 3.033 g of Tris was weighed and placed in 400 mL beaker. Then‚ 25 mL of distilled water was added into the beaker that contained Tris. The mixture was dissolved using the stirring rod‚ and then the magnetic stirring bar was placed in the beaker for further dissolve when measuring the pH. The pH meter was used to measure the solution

Effect of varying Temperatures on Enzymatic Activity of Bacterial and Fungal Amylase and hydrolysis of Starch Abstract This experiment consisted of setting up a control group of starch in various temperature and then placing both fungal amylases and bacterial amylases in a mixture of starch and placing the solution of amylase and starch in various temperatures of water. After a certain amount of time- different amount of time needs to be used in order to have reliable results- iodine is added
