nonfebrile controls. The osmolality in febrile children with convulsions was 3.8% (P < 0.01) and without seizures 3.5% (P < 0.01) lower than in nonfebrile nonconvulsive children. The changes in CSF sodium concentration‚ and to a lesser extent potassium and chloride concentrations‚ paralleled those of CSF osmolality. A positive correlation was observed between the CSF and serum osmolatities (r = 0.73‚ P < 0.0001)‚ and sodium concentrations (r = 0.63‚ P < 0.0001). A negative correlation between

Case Study: Newsflash! Transport Proteins on Strike! 1. What is the meaning behind the PHOSPHOLIPIDS’ chant? Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane‚ in a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid molecules form two layers‚ with the hydrophilic (water loving) head facing the extracellular fluid and the cytosol (intracellular) fluid‚ and the hydrophobic (not water loving) tails facing one another. The cell membrane is constructed in such a way that it is semipermeable‚ and allows oxygen

Prediction: My prediction was that they were going to all get cold and crack or just too hot and explode like glass bursting. Materials: * Balance * Spatula and watch glass. * Stirring rod. * Potassium nitrate * Sodium thiosulfate Method: Potassium nitrate in water 1. Add 10mL of water
