a beneficial therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy? Background: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is being promoted as a new therapy for children afflicted with cerebral palsy. It is being utilized by several specialized medical centers in the US‚ Europe and Canada. The rationale behind this therapy is inhalation of pressurized pure oxygen within a hyperbaric chamber‚ results in higher levels of dissolved oxygen within the blood (Liptak‚ 2005). Over 15 studies have been conducted to determine

WATER OUR LIFELINE Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams‚ lakes‚ oceans and rain‚ and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound‚ a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica

The goal of this study was to measure the oxygen consumption of goldfish in an ambient environment and dark environment and calculate if there was any difference in metabolism based on oxygen consumption. The experimental hypothesis was that the metabolic rate of the goldfish as measured by oxygen consumption differs in a dark environment than in an ambient environment. The null hypothesis was that the metabolic rate of the gold fish as measured by oxygen consumption does not differ in darkness versus

A 2007 study finds that discharge of untreated sewage is the single most important cause for pollution of surface and ground water in India. There is a large gap between generation and treatment of domestic waste water in India. The problem is not only that India lacks sufficient treatment capacity but also that the sewage treatment plants that exist do not operate and are not maintained.[1] The majority of the government-owned sewage treatment plants remain closed most of the time due to improper

IMPORTANCE OF FORESTS Introduction Trees are mankind lifeline. If they are destroyed‚ there is no way that human beings can survive. From the oxygen that we breathe in‚ the food that we eat‚ to the clothes we wear‚ we owe it all to the trees. Not only this‚ trees act as purifiers of air and receptacles of our waste products. Trees have great economic value too. We get fuel‚ fodder‚ timber‚ medicines and numerous other valuable products from the trees. It is‚ therefore‚ not surprising that trees

Discovery Oxygen was first discovered by two scientists. One was a British Chemist Joseph Priestly who was given credit for the discovery in 1774. The other was a Swedish Chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele who had also discovered it around the same time as Priestly. Yet Priestly was given credit because his work‚ and results were published. Priestly had first found this new element when he observed that mercuric oxide‚ on heating. Yielded a gas that caused a flame to burn faster. He later found that

the sunlight and use it to produce nutrients for the cell. During this process‚ water molecules are broken down into oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are then released in the air. In the very early days of life‚ Earth was populated only by anaerobic bacteria that didn’t need oxygen to survive. When cyanobacteria first made their appearance and started engaging in their photosynthetic reactions‚ large amounts of oxygen were suddenly released in the atmosphere. This lead to what is known as the Great

In the article‚ “Oceans Are Losing Oxygen—and Becoming More Hostile to Life” by Craig Welch‚ climate change is affecting the lives of all kinds of sea creatures. This article explains how climate change‚ and the warming of ocean water‚ has began taking oxygen out of the water. This means that many fish species have shrunk because of this loss of oxygen. The warmer water speeds up the metabolism of these fish‚ which makes them breathe in more of the oxygen. A couple of scientists from the University
