Question
Chapter 40, Problem 3DAA
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether switching to an organic diet lower the amount of pesticide residues excreted by the children.
Concept introduction: Conventionally, the fruits, vegetables, and grains are produced in which pesticides are used. Pesticides such as malathion and chlorpyrifos are neurotoxicant. At the high level, it works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase. This can lead to paralysis, breathing problem, and even death. Due to its toxic effect, the fruits and vegetable are produced through organic farming without the use of pesticides and gain the label of USDA’s organic label.

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?

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.

- 1.) You get an outpatient specimen for random glucose testing that has been centrifuged within 1 hour of collection. It was collected at 8 am, and the patient was fasting for a lipid panel that was also collected. The random glucose is 55mg/dL, while the patient's last reported value was from the emergency room and was 110mg/dL. What is a probable cause for the low glucose value? How is this remedied? Should the doctor be worried? 2.) A patient's actual glucose level is 215 mg/dL.
