BMI Calculation: BMI = Kg/M². Interpretation: <25 = Normal, 25-30 = Overweight, >30 = Obese. Ethanolamine (Ethan-NH₃), Choline = N(CH₃)₃

Leptin and Adipose Tissue

Leptin is released from adipose tissue when mass is high. It travels through the blood to the arcuate nucleus, binds to neuronal cells, and activates the JAK-STAT pathway. This increases gene expression of POMC, which produces alpha-MSH (a neurotransmitter). Alpha-MSH reaches neurons connected to adipose tissue, releasing norepinephrine. Norepinephrine binds to beta-adrenergic receptors on adipose tissue, promoting an increase (via the G-protein coupled receptor pathway and activation of PKA). This leads to upregulation of UCP1 expression and... Continue reading "Metabolic Pathways and Liposome Drug Delivery" »

Chemical Equilibrium & Enthalpy Changes

Le Chatelier's Principle & Equilibrium Constant (Kc)

• If a reaction is endothermic, an increase in temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right-hand side (products) to decrease the temperature.
• Position of Equilibrium: Describes how far a reaction has proceeded and the proportion of products to reactants in the mixture.
• Equilibrium Constant (Kc): The constant for an equilibrium system, expressed in terms of concentrations (mol dm^-3) at a given temperature.
• Kc Formula: Kc = [Products] / [Reactants]
  • Example (Haber Process): N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g)
  • Units for Haber Process Kc: (mol dm^-3)^-2 or mol^-2 dm⁶
• Temperature Effects on Kc/Kp:
  • For an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature decreases Kc/

Personality characteristics of a Death Foretold Chronicles: Santiago Nasar - 21 year old male who has dropped out of school after the death of his father to direct "The Holy Face", an estate that his father bequeathed him. He is a dreamer, happy and not get into trouble, who is killed by the Vicario brothers after being identified by their sister as he took his virginity. And is loved by the people. Ángela Vicario - Woman of Bayardo San Román, who was returned to her wedding night by not a virgin at marriage, she blames Santiago Nasar. Ibrahim Nasar - Arabic late father of Santiago Nasar. It is noted that he spoke in Arabic with his son and he answered well and remarked as a strange fact as it was not normal from the third generation (which...

Core Marketing Concepts and Definitions

According to the American Marketing Association (AMA), marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.

As defined by Philip Kotler, marketing is the art and science of managing profitable customer relationships.

Understanding Customer Needs, Wants, and Demands

• Needs: Basic physical, social, and individual human requirements.
• Wants: The specific form that human needs take, shaped by culture and individual personality.
• Demands: Human wants that are backed by buying power.

Value, Markets, and Management

• Customer Value and Satisfaction: The gap between customer expectations

Maxillofacial Defects: Classification

Congenital Defects

• Cleft lip and palate
• Microtia and Anotia
• Congenital anophthalmia

Acquired Defects

• Surgical resection
• Trauma
• Pathological: Osteomyelitis, post-radiation necrosis

Developmental Defects

• Micrognathia
• Maxillary hypoplasia
• Hemifacial microsomia

Objectives of Maxillofacial Restoration

• Restoration of function
• Restoration of esthetics
• Psychological rehabilitation
• Surgical reconstruction

Rehabilitation of Maxillofacial Defects

• Surgical reconstruction
• Prosthetic rehabilitation
• Combined surgical and prosthetic approach

Palatal Development

• Primary Palate: 5th week, median nasal process rises to form the premaxilla.
• Secondary Palate: 7th week, fusion begins at the nasal septum, giving rise to the hard and soft palate.

Etiology

Chlorhexidine and Chemical Plaque Control

Mechanism of Action of Chlorhexidine (CHX)

• Positive charge: Chlorhexidine has a positive charge, while bacteria have a negative charge.
• Binding: It binds with the phosphate groups of bacterial cell walls.
• Osmotic pressure: It alters osmotic pressure within the bacterial cell.
• Cell lysis: This alteration leads to bacterial cell lysis.

Therapeutic Uses of Chlorhexidine

• Adjunct to mechanical oral hygiene
• Treatment of Acute Necrotizing Gingivitis (ANG)
• Post-operative care after periodontal surgery
• Effective against fungi and viruses

Side Effects of Chlorhexidine

• Brown discoloration (staining) of teeth and restorations

Organic Synthesis and Reaction Mechanisms

Malonic Ester Synthesis and Carbonyl Reactivity

Electrophiles (e+) for Malonic Ester Synthesis include epoxides, primary haloalkanes, and conjugated ketones. Esters react with 2 equivalents of irreversible nucleophiles, such as LiAlH4 and RMgBr, to yield an alcohol product. Acyl halides undergo fast hydrolysis and do not require a catalyst because the acyl halide is a better electrophile compared to carboxylic acids, and Cl- is a better leaving group than OH-.

Carbohydrate Chemistry

• Reducing sugars contain hemiacetals at the anomeric carbon.
• Alpha 1,4-linked polyglucans are known as amylose, used for energy storage in plants (digestible by humans).
• Oligosaccharides consist of 3-10 units.
• Reduction of monosaccharides
