Plasma osmolarity, or more often in clinical reporting its close counterpart plasma osmolality, is a measure of the tendency of the blood plasma to attract water as a result of certain components floating it its substance to act as osmoles, a concept you'll be "sucked into" in a moment. ...
Due in part to the abundance of this solute, winter frogs had a markedly higher (2.24-fold) plasma osmolality (Table 1). Seasonality of freeze tolerance in a subarctic population of the wood frog, Rana sylvatica The increase in plasma osmolality and aldosterone levels was, respectively, 4.96%...
Calculate the molarity of a 5% glucose solution. How many grams of glucose (C6H2O6 molecular mass=180 daltons) would be present in one liter of a 1M (molar) solution of glucose? To prepare a 248 mM sugar solution, how many sugars (molecular weight = 309 g/mole...
How many mL of a 3 M glucose solution should I add to make a 250 mL 1 M solution? A 0.245-L flask contains 0.467 mol CO2 at 159^oC. Calculate the pressure: (a) Using the ideal gas law (b) Using the van der Waals equation (c) Explain the reason for t...
To calculate the amount of TP in each sample, a 7-point calibration curve was constructed using BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) at known concentrations (0 to 1 mg.mL−1). The amount of TP in each sample was used to normalize all the other biomarker results. TP content was also used as ...
Retrospectively analyzing data from the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD) to calculate incidence rates for first-time VTE, Naik and colleagues found an incidence rate of 5.2 events per 1000 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.8-6.9) in 1523 SCD patients aged ≥15 ...
