allergy? Allergies to Sulfur, Sulfites, Sulfur & Sulfates! Are You Allergic to Sulfur? Are you allergic to Sulfa, Sulfite, sulfate, or Sulfur? There is quite a bit of confusion about the difference between them. Many people think if they are allergic to sulfa drugs or have had reactions to sulfites in foods and thus think it is necessary for them to avoid dietary supplements containing sulfates or sulfur such as glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and organic sulfur. In this article, I am going
hydrated copper(II) sulfate Introduction In this experiment, the water of crystallization is removed from hydrated copper(II) sulfate. The mass of water is found by weighing before and after heating.

causing damage to people’s hair? Well not many people stop to think about the shampoos their using and how it will impact the hair. Sulfate is a cleaning agent found in many soaps and shampoos. The sulfates used in most shampoos are sodium lauryl sulfate or ammonium laureate sulfate. Sulfates cause the shampoo to foam up and cause an extra clean cleaning sensation. Some sulfate shampoos completely strip the hair of natural oils that the body creates. These natural oils are essential to the hair; The oils
end, the melting point range of the naphthalene was 55-62 °C, unlike the actual determined melting point of 80.2 °C. There is a possibility that less than needed sodium sulfate had been added to the organic layer mixture because the melting point could have been negatively affected by excess water not absorbed by the sodium sulfate. The acidification step was successful, because it allowed the Benzoic acid to precipitate out. There was a 58% yield of benzoic acid from the crude sample, and a 98% yield

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is used extensively for prevention and treatment of eclamptic seizure (1, 2) and is considered as the ideal anti–convulsant drug in preeclampsia and eclampsia (3). The effect of Magnesium sulphate in vitro and in vivo on relaxing human uterine contractility was widely reported. Magnesium has a calcium antagonist effect that decreases calcium intracellular concentration and inhibits contraction process (4-6). Many studies done during normal labor failed to prove the effect
Abstract The purpose for this lab was to use aluminum from a soda can to form a chemical compound known as hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate. In the lab aluminum waste were dissolved in KOH or potassium sulfide to form a complex alum. The solution was then filtered through gravity filtration to remove any solid material. 25 mLs of sulfuric acid was then added while gently boiling the solution resulting in crystals forming after cooling in an ice bath. The product was then collected and filter through
Do you know what the dietary supplement glucosamine/chondroitin is, does or can do? Do you know what the side effects are or if there are any? Do you know how it’s made or what it’s derived from? I didn’t think so, so that’s what I am here to tell you. I was playing lacrosse one day when I made a sudden move and that’s when it all went down hill. I tore the cartilage in my knee, the meniscus - a piece of cartilage that acts as a cushion - to be exact. A few days later I was talking to my Aunt Marie
Abstract Over the years barium sulfate has proven to be a successful contrast agent for examination of the gastrointestinal tract. Though the road to discovery was long and relentless at times, when it finally found its niche in medicine it was only to the advantage of the physicians and patients today. There are many new diagnostic tools in radiology today that have led to the questioning of barium studies’ place in medicine and whether it will remain there long. And to what cost it will take to
This study is a clinical trial that aims to find out the effect of massage on behavioral state of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome. The participants were 45 neonates who hospitalized in neonatal intensive care unit of Afzalipour hospital in Kerman. Parental consent was obtained for research participation. The inclusion criteria included all infants born with respiratory distress syndrome, less than 36 weeks gestational age and without of any the following conditions: contraindication of
The script opens with a POV shot of a car driving during a thunderstorm. The driver briefly takes his eyes off the road. The screen cuts to black as we hear a horrific car crash. We fade in on a disheveled apartment in Brooklyn as WILSON, an unsuccessful novelist strung out on drugs, attempts to write his suicide note. Just as he finally gets the wording he’s looking for, Wilson receives a phone call from his estranged mother, CAROLYN, revealing that his older brother JEFF died in a car accident
Bath bombs are very popular items today with kids, teens, and adults. Bath bombs come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, and scents. People enjoy using bath bombs because they make bath time relaxing and enjoyable. A bath bomb is made of many chemicals, one is a base and the other is an acid. When a bath bomb comes in contact with water a neutralization reaction occurs (Khan, 2017). The author states, when the bath bomb come into contact with water the solid particles holding the shape of the
Vanadyl Sulfate: A Wonder Drug For The Future? Introduction In the competitive world of sports, athletes are always trying to get an edge. When practice is not enough, many athletes try to change their diets to gain an advantage over the competition. To make more educated decisions about what they eat, many athletes look closely at what happens to food once it enters their bodies. From studying the gastrointestinal and endocrine systems, athletes and researchers have learned to appreciate
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of every eight babies each year in the United States is born premature. This affects approximately 500,000 babies yearly. Premature babies are defined as babies born more than three weeks before the baby’s due date. Full term babies are born at approximately forty weeks, and premature babies are born at less than thirty-seven weeks. In the final months and weeks of pregnancy, important growth and development occur in the fetus.
When people watch TV and a March of Dimes commercial comes on, how do they feel? Most people see the premature babies and it upsets them. They start feeling bad and begin to wonder what they could do to help, which is the goal of March of Dimes. March of Dimes has been fighting to save babies since 2003. They work everyday to find donations to fund life-saving research on what causes prematurity. Their commercials and advertisements are so strong because they need as many people to donate as possible
Introduction Hydrates are compounds that form crystals that have water molecules in their structure. Barium chloride dihydrate, or BaCl2●2H2O is an example of this, with five water molecules for every one molecule of barium chloride. The water is called the water of hydration, and the dot between the barium chloride and the water molecules means that the two types of molecules are bonded together. The water of hydration is heated out of the hydrate when the temperature reaches above 100℃, since
Premature Preterm birth is babies who are born closer to 32 to 34 weeks. It is a major challenge for women that gives birth between to 32 to 34 weeks, risking infants with disability and health problems causing life or death. Preterm birth not only affects infants, but families too. Families who need to provide care for their infants need to be prepared. Infants spend several months in the hospital to be checked on for respiratory distress syndrome and brain development. Preterm birth is causing
Brains. Must have brains. There are a lot of far-fetched scenes that horror movies have filled in our heads over the years. Many elements of fiction have created varying degrees of panic, more so since the emergence of the false “Based on a True Story” label. There is one terrifying creature once thought to be fictitious that has recently gained popularity in the media as well as news channels around the world. A situation that would have negative global effects far worse than any other natural disaster
Thousands of infants are born prematurely on an annual basis, and it is a challenge in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to facilitate parent-child attachment while still providing the safest clinical environment for the infant. One significant area of research where premature infants are concerned is the effect of early skin to skin contact (SSC), or kangaroo care, between the parent(s) and child during their stay in the NICU. Although it has been found that early and frequent SSC promotes
