Acesulfame potassium is a calorie-free sweetener which is about 200 times more intense in sweetness compared to the normal sugar, and it has been around and in use in thousands of food products in 1988, In other words since the time, it was declared safe for the purpose of consumption. Acesulfame potassium was first discovered in Germany by Karl Clauss and H. Jensen in the year 1967. This was when the two researchers mixed butane with Fluor sulfonyl isocyanate and licked the solution when some of it spilled. The sweet taste was what gave Clauss the idea of using ...

Webvan ran out of cash as it ended up spending more than the sales it made, hence ...

Abstract

Medical personnel working in the emergency department encounter many cases of patients suffering from life threatening conditions. It is important, therefore, that the healthcare provider determines the exact extent of the injuries before the patient is committed to specialized treatment. In this case, a patient presents to the emergency department with a life threatening condition, renal failure. Assessing the vital signs of the patient is critical in ensuring survival, in addition to reducing or mitigating the extent of the injuries. The assessment was achieved via a primary survey of the patient, which involved assessing the airway patency, breathing and ...

Abstract

The literature defines hypertension as a medical condition experienced when the systolic blood pressure (BP) is equal or greater than 140 mm Hg or when the diastolic blood pressure is equal or greater than 90 mm Hg. Additionally, it offers a description of systematic, cellular, as well as molecular causes of hypertension. High blood pressure within the arteries is referred to as systemic hypertension (SH). The primary role of the systemic arteries is the transportation of oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues of the body. The constriction of the arterioles (small arteries) is responsible for the high ...

It is important to have a plan to conduct a successful survey. One of the most important things is to have a goal which helps in formulating the question presented to the subjects. To have a successful survey, one must select the right group and find the best way to reach this target. A different target group might require a different approach to reach them and finding out about one’s target group is essential for the survey. The next step is posing the right questions to the people being interviewed. The questions should progress slowly from the beginning. ...

Cephalexin and Gentamicin The mechanism of action of amoxicillin is focused on the prevention of the synthesis of the bacteria’s cell wall through the binding and inhibiting of the cell wall transpeptidases (Katzung, Masters, and Trevor, 2012). Specifically, it attaches to the penicillin-binding protein 1A found in the cell wall of bacteria. Then, the agent disintegrates the lactam ring to allow the acylation of the penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain. The formation of the cross-link of the linear peptidoglycan strands is prevented by the inactivation of transpeptidases. Since the third and last stage ...

Research in Nursing Practice Patient safety is one of the most important medical concerns in a surgical procedure. Surgical errors such as wrong side or site, wrong procedure, and/or wrong person, though occur rarely, are considered as highly devastating events. In the U.S., about 28% of procedure related adverse events were reported in three different hospitals in 2011. According to the National Patient Safety Agency, 129,419 cases of surgical errors occurred in England and Wales in 2007 (McDowell & McComb, 2014). Surgical errors resulted in different degrees of impairment or harm. Most frequently occurring problems associated with the surgical ...

For over the years, there is a relative increase in cases of children with birth defects. Recent statistics with regards to the American babies suffering from birth defects reveals that for every 4 and a half minutes, there is a new case of baby born with a birth defect, which can also be summarized as 120,000 incidents of child birth defects every year, and it is expected that the number of child victims will rise for the succeeding years (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). Birth defects on newborn babies may affect almost any part of their body ...

Part 1 Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a lung infection that is usually brought about by a critically ill patient being fitted with mechanical ventilators which are beneficial for their breathing system. The condition has been identified as a major factor contributing to morbidities and mortalities amongst patients in the acute care settings. Additionally, individuals who acquire VAP while in the critical unit stay longer in the hospital a factor which adversely impacts on their satisfaction levels and outcomes. The ventilators fitted onto these critically ill patients may be helpful in addressing their breathing problems even though there are challenges ...

How does conduct a "time-out" before starting a surgery is essential for preventing wrong-site, wrong-procedure or wrong-person surgery?” (e.g. National Guideline Clearinghouse). A time-out procedure is performed before starting a surgical procedure. Moreover, repeat time-out is prescribed for position changes or multiple procedures. Time-out is considered as the final safety stop prior to the surgical procedure to confirm the correct patient, procedure, and site. Every member of the surgical team has to stop any kind of activity before starting a procedure and take part in the process. Members of the team may include surgeon, student(s), ...

Summary of Article

INTRODUCTION Altered oligonucleotides, specifically, labeled RNA serve as important tools in biochemical and biomedical research and have been commonly utilized for therapeutic and analytical purposes . Although there are many studies on post-synthetic techniques on DNA, such as by Marx et al., very few reports have described the techniques related to RNA. An efficient automated RNA synthesis with an optimal yield is a prerequisite for post-synthetic derivatization. It is a commonly accepted truth that RNA production is much more troublesome and challenging than DNA synthesis, owing to its lesser coupling efficiency in the synthesis cycle along with the requirement to ...

Summary

The neural network controls physical activities. Recently scientists have found out that the neural network can be observed to show different levels of activation depending on an organism’s mental activity. Scientists have gone further to devise actual methods that detect brain activity in particular instances. The brain and the neural network never stop working; however, certain tasks cause the brain and the neural network to work faster, harder and more intensely (Garcia). These unique activities usually register or appear as spikes or dips in the never-ending sequence of brain activity. Genetically Encoded Voltage Indicators (GEVIs) are a promising ...

Congestive heart failure

Congestive heart failure is by caused by amongst other reasons heart failure occurring due to either or both systolic and diastolic ventricular dysfunction. The use of the term “congestive heart failure” is used to imply that the patient in question is having some form of fluid overload. Congestive heart failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality accounting for a significant proportion of hospitalizations. Of further note is that its incidence increases with advancing age (Tansley, 2010, p.1396). Although the presenting signs and symptoms of CHF have remained the same over time, great advances have been made in terms of ...
