Closed-loop Insulin Therapy Improves Glycemic Control in Children with Type One Diabetes. Type One Diabetes is a common endocrine problem in children and its rate is growing. The risk of long-term problems such as cardiovascular and microvascular could be reduced by improving glycemic control. In spite of the accessibility of therapeutic options such as self-monitoring of blood glucose‚ rapid-acting insulin analogues‚ planned patient education‚ and insulin pump therapy‚ glycemic control in the majority

Mandy Key Speech date: March 11‚ 2014 Why breakfast is important: Introduction (attention): Have you ever heard of the supposed wise tale that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day?” Well‚ whoever said it was right. Breakfast is exactly what it says it is‚ it’s a break to the fast you’ve had over night. Without breakfast your body is still asleep‚ your groggy‚ irritable‚ or you just can’t focus on anything. I’m sure we all know how it feels to not eat breakfast lately‚ with early

Isolation and identification of an unknown bacterium Pillay‚ Esmerelda (209504371) School of Biochemistry‚ Genetics and Microbiology Department of Microbiology University of Kwa-zulu Natal 25 October 2010 ABSTRACT Different types of bacteria in various forms are found all around us‚ and it is a microbiologist’s job to be able to identify these bacteria. Using various staining techniques and physiological tests‚ an isolated bacterium can be identified. In this experiment‚ a single bacterial

Lab Report Procedure 6.1: Perform Benedict’s test for reducing sugars. Introduction: Benedict’s tests allows for the detection of the presence of reducing sugars. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars since all of them have active carbonyl group. Some disaccharides that are exposed to a carbonyl group are also reducing sugars but less reactive than monosaccharides. By mixing the sugar solution with Benedict’s solution and heating them‚ a redox reaction will occur. The copper (II) sulphate

TITLE : IDENTIFICATION OF BIOCHEMICALS IN PURE FORM AND IN COMMON FOODSTUFFS AIM: THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS EXPIREMENT IS TO PERFORM TESTS ON A VARIETY OF COMMON FOODS TO IDENTIFY THE CHEMICALS THEY CONTAIN AND TO TEST PURE SAMPLES OF BIOCHEMICALS TO GAIN FAMILIARITY WITH THE COLOUR CHANGES. RESULTS: TABLE 1 : BIOCHEMICAL TESTS ON PURIFIED BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCES SAMPLE | TEST | OBSERVATION | Glucose | Reducing Sugar | The initial blue colouration of the mixture turns green

First‚ we must establish whether sugar over-consumption is damaging to one’s health. In the Vice article‚ the writer made an eyebrow-raising statement when she said‚ "sugar is devoid of any real nutrition‚ messes with your metabolism‚ and rots your teeth...How bad could it really be?" This was interesting to me because I always thought sugar was an extremely important source of energy and that our body had a built function to regulate the amount of sugar we consume. Hilary Pollack reported on a study

The aim of our investigation is to find out whether the use of different sugar isomers with yeast‚ will affect the rate at which the yeast respires at. The sugars to be tested are fructose‚ galactose‚ glucose‚ lactose and sucrose. Their effects on the respiration rate of yeast to be observed through the measurement (cm3) of the displaced water‚ which will tell us how much CO2 has been respired over 2 minutes. To compare the effects an average will be calculated for each and a result will be drawn

Similar to potassium‚ sodium is a major mineral‚ however‚ unlike potassium which maintains fluid and electrolyte balance inside the cell‚ sodium is a major part of the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance system because it is the chief ion used to maintain the volume of fluid outside cells. Sodium also helps maintain acid-base balance and is essential to muscle contraction and nerve transmission. The DRI recommended intakes for sodium for adults ages 19 to 50 years old is 1‚500 milligrams per day
