Inorganic acids can be derived from multiple inorganic compounds and are extracted from the minerals present in the earth’s crust

Image
  Inorganic acids are acids that are derived from mineral compounds. Organic acids are compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When these molecules are dissolved in water, they form conjugate bases and hydrogen ions. This is what makes them acidic. This is why they are often used in industrial and medical applications. For instance, in December 2021, a research team at Stanford University School of Medicine, U.S., reported that the development of molecules that can bind with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and inhibit viral infection can help in the detection and treatment of COVID-19 infection. Inorganic acids should be handled carefully. Personal protective equipment must be worn by workers exposed to them. These include aprons, coats, overalls, and eye protection. Respiratory protection equipment should only be worn if necessary. Always wash thoroughly after handling inorganic acids. Inorganic acids should be stored in properly ventilated storage tanks.

Ferrous Fumarate: A Medicine With Several Risks And Benefits, Used For The Treatment Of Iron Deficiency Anemia

Image
  Ferrous fumarate is a medicine used for treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia. However, the medicine has many side effects and may not be suitable for everyone. Hence, starting the treatment with ferrous fumarate, consulting a healthcare provider is important. Although many people can live with anemia without any treatment, some cases of anemia are inherited. For example, some cases of anemia are caused by an iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, or vitamin B9 deficiency.  While some types of anemia treatment are aimed at improving anemia symptoms, other forms are designed to treat the disease permanently. In these cases, iron supplementation should be the primary treatment. Chronic anemia therapy can be a lifelong option for anemia patients. It can be done in a few different ways. For instance, some patients may feel better after a dialysis session. Some will require dietary fiber while others may have increased ferritin. Another good option for the treatmen...

Cupric Chloride Is a Chemical Compound with A number of Applications in Various Industries Including Pharmacology, Medicine and Dentistry

Image
  Cupric Chloride is a transition metal that is found in foods, vitamins, and intravenous solutions used in the treatment of transient pancreatitis (TPN). It is a vital nutrient and plays a role of a co-factor in the synthesis of the iron carrier protein transferrin. Moreover, Copper also aids in maintaining normal rates of formation of blood cell, preventing leukopenia, neutropenia, and anemia, as well as osteoporosis. One of the earliest uses for this material is in the treatment of pancreatitis. It is a copper-based dye that can cause nausea and vomiting in people with pancreatitis. This corrosive chemical can damage mucous membranes and skin, and it has been used to etch copper from printed circuit boards. It has weak oxidizing or reducing properties, however it is water-reactive. It is used in a number of applications, including medicine, pharmacology, and dentistry. In dentistry, Cupric Chloride is also commonly used to make crowns. Its blue color is highly recognizable. Ho...

Brinell Hardness Tester: Used To Determine The Hardness Of Materials With Hardened Steel Ball Indentor

Image
  Brinell Hardness Tester is used to determine the hardness of a metal by measuring the size of an indentation left by an indenter. It is frequently used to determine the hardness in circumstances where the overall material properties are being ascertained. It is desirable that the test load are limited to an impression diameter in the range of 2.5 to 4.75 mm. The test for Brinell Hardness is performed using a verified machine that indents a sample surface with a tungsten carbide ball. The diameter of the indentation is measured after the force is removed. A Brinell hardness test involves two steps. First, the test force is applied to the surface for a period of one to eight seconds. Then, the specimen is allowed to hold in the indentation for an additional 10 to fifteen seconds. The Brinell Hardness Tester uses a 10mm hardened steel ball. The test is conducted by inserting a hardened steel ball into the test specimen. The force applied to the indenter produces an indentation t...
