Chapter 40, Problem 2DAA
Pesticide Residues in Urine To carry the USDA’s organic label (right), food must be produced without synthetic pesticides that farmers often use on conventionally grown, fruits, vegetables, and many grains.
Chensheng Lu of Emory University used urine testing to see whether eating organic food has a significant effect on the levels of pesticides in children's bodies (FIGURE 40.11). Over the course of 15 days, Lu and his colleagues collected the urine of 23 children (aged 3 to 11) and tested it for breakdown products of two synthetic pesticides. The children ate their normal diet of conventionally grown foods for three days, switched to organic versions of the same foods and drinks for five days, then returned to their convention.al diet for a week
FIGURE 40.11 Concentrations of metabolites of two pesticides (malathion and chlorpyrifos) in children’s urine during the three different phases of the study. The difference in the mean level of metabolites between the organic and conventional phases of the study was statistically significant.
During which phase of the experiment was the maximum level of the chlorpyrifos metabolite detected?

The Benzodiazepines test device is a qualitative, preliminary test which would be able to detect whether Benzodiazepines are present in the urine specimen at the cut-off concentration of 300 ng/mL. Is it possible to have a urine specimen which was interpreted as POSITIVE using the Benzodiazepines test device to be interpreted as NEGATIVE by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry? Justify your answer.
A study was conducted by the manufacturer of the benzodiazepines test device to determine whether some compounds would have cross-reactivity at levels of 100µg/mL. List down examples of non cross-reacting compounds
An ambulatory veterinarian from the VMTH is going to Bilario's pig farm to administer antibiotics after asuspected carrier of infectious diseases entered the farm. Two cc of penicillin (300,000 units/ml) will beinjected for every 50 pounds of body weight.
(a) How many full vials should be stocked in the ambulatory truck if there are 329 pigs weighing 50
pounds, 733 pigs weighing 100 pounds and 96 pigs weighing 250 pounds to be treated? (Thepenicillin comes in vials of 250 ml).(b) If 1 mg = 1600 units of penicillin, what dosage of penicillin will the pigs receive on a mg/kg basis?
A patient with a rash gets a combination prescription from his physician to help alleviate the itching and moisturize the skin. The prescription is for 60% ingredient A and 40% of ingredient B for a total of 155 g (in a single tube). The patient has 3 refills on this prescription and wants to pick up the entire amount today: how much in g is that? Hint: 3 refills includes an original prescription so the total amount to be picked up is 4 tubes)

- Figure 1: Concentration of water samples used to determine urine glucose levels in diamond tetras (Moenkhausia pittieri), with and without exposure to 0.5 I.U./mL insulin. Aquarium water samples were collected at room temperature at 0, 30, 60, and 90 minutes. Concentration values were calculated by obtaining the absorbance (570 nm) of the water samples using a spectrophotometer and compared to a standard curve for glucose to extrapolate the concentration of each sample. Concentration values are plotted with error bars that represent the standard deviation of the concentration levels. 1) how would you describe the trends of this graph in a paragraph asap pleasearrow_forwardTo prepare a vaginal irrigation, a nurse uses 3 tsp of vinegar and 1.5 L of water. a.
