Phytochemistry
Phytochemical studies of Cissus quadrangularis have shown the presence of various versatile constituents such as flavanoids, triterpenoids, Vitamin C, stilbene derivatives and many others, e.g. resveratrol, piceatannol, pallidol perthenocissin and phytosterols. Out of which ascorbic acid, triterpene, β-sitosterol, ketosteroid, two asymmetrical tetracyclic triterpenoids and calcium were identified as major constituents of this plant. Cissus quadrangularis have high contents of anabolic steroidal substances, ascorbic acid, carotene, and calcium.8,9,10 The plant contains ascorbic acid 479 mg and carotene 267 mg per 100 g freshly prepared paste in addition to calcium oxalate. The stem of the plant contains two asymmetric tetracyclic …show more content…

As per the studies Cissus quadrangularis acts by increasing metabolism and uptake of minerals like calcium, sulpher and strontium by osteoblasts in remodeling of fracture bone. Vitamin and steroids present in Cissus quadrangularis is considered to have potent fracture healing properties. There are believes that vitamin C is one of the constituent of Cissus quadrangularis which gives the potent fracture healing properties,but is not so because the administration of vitamin C to the normal animal did not produce such a beneficial effect,this may be due to some phytogenic steroid isolated from Cissus quadrangularis which is believe to be the main constituent in Cissus …show more content…

in body pains decoction of the shoots with dry ginger and black pepper is given. The plant is anthelmintic in nature. And it also exhibit cardiotonic property. in dyspepsia and in indigestion Young shoots are used.
Side Effects of Cissus quadrangularis: It is safe for short-term use, but long-term effects have not been well documented. Some side effects include Gastrointestinal Problems like flatulence, diarrhea, dry mouth and patients may experience Headache and insomnia, Cissus quadrangularis contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which may suppress appetite and in lab studies it is found that it inhibits the enzyme ATP citrate lipase, This may block conversion of carbohydrates into fat which Decreased appetite and lead to weight loss. Drug Interactions: Cissus quadrangularis have a property to lower blood glucose level so it may interact with diabetes drugs. So while prescribing any hypoglycemic agent from Ayurveda or from modern medicine we need to take care for drug interaction to avoid

For this lab the knowledge to tell the difference between a chemical and physical changes was needed. To tell this the knowledge of the five signs of a chemical change was needed. These five signs are color change, odor change, production of bubbles/gas, production of heat/light, and the production of precipitate. Also prior to the lab one question was provided that needed to be answered. This question was what chemical must be present for a color change.

ADI Lab: Stoichiometry and Chemical Reactions The guiding question of this ADI lab was, “Which balanced equation best represents the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate?” The goal of this lab was to use our knowledge of stoichiometry with the mole ratio to identify the correct chemical equation for the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate. Information that was given going into this investigation was the definition of the law of conservation of mass and the atomic theory which states that no atoms can be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. Also the mole ratio which is used to determine how much of a product will be produced in a chemical reaction using the given chemical equation.

The question is, how does a physical or chemical change affect the mass of a substance within a closed system? To respond to this question, my group did a lab to determine whether or not the mass would change or not. Our lab was to have a plastic bag containing baking soda, then add a cup of vinegar and a block of clay to the mix. We made sure to weight every element separately and then add them up for our total mass of 31 grams before the reaction. During the reaction, as soon as the vinegar was poured in there was a gas produced, bubbles.

Purpose: To recognize the evidence of a chemical change and to prove the law of conservation of mass by observing a series of chemical reactions involving copper. A specific quantity of copper will be transformed through a series of chemical reactions to form new substances and then recovered as solid copper. A percent yield will be calculated to determine the amount of copper recovered from the chemical reactions.

My first reaction involves baking soda, vinegar, and a plastic bag. Pouring in the baking soda and vinegar in a bag will cause a chemical change because a new substance is created. There are three things that occur during this reaction that show that it is a chemical reaction. They are the formation of gas (bubbles), the creation of a new substance, and temperature decrease. Formation of gas is shown when I close the bag as the substances react.

Some commercial products also contain organophosphorus or Carbamates insecticides in that time person can have mixed signs. Common causes of death in cases of pyrethroid poisoning are allergic reactions, respiratory failure (hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary oedema, seizuers, secondary pneumonia and coma. Atypical presentations can occur with the pyrethroid poisoning where patients present with respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, hypotension, pneumonia, acute kidney injury and seizure. Treatment includes skin decontamination, airway protection, gastrointestinal decontamination and seizure treatment9. As there is no specific antidote, early diagnosis and aggressive supportive therapies are the only remedies to prevent mortality.

The role that strategic guidance serve in establishing a homeland security program is to create a common operating picture for government and agencies to follow. It is a means for the President and Congress to paint the picture of how they envision homeland security. This common operating picture help agencies to set priorities that align with strategic goals which also allows agency's departments to develop missions and programs. The strategic guidance needs to be clearly defined but at the same time broad enough to allow the various agencies to develop comprehensive programs that is specific to their unique capabilities. Not to mention that broad strategic guidance allows leadership some flexibility to adjust to changing environments or

Cicuta maculate 1 INTRODUCTION A plant genus, from the Apiaceae family, absolutely remarkable from the phytochemical aspect, are the floras of the Cicuta with the specimen: C. maculate. Since prehistoric times, antique civilizations considered them with considerably toxic and lethal properties (in the case of humans as well as other organisms that are nourished with these plants such as livestock etc.). Worth mentioning is the consumption of contaminated livestock meat, because of that, many humans died in the past. From the numerous poisonings, these plants now have several names: "The root of death", "cowbane", "poisonous hemlock", "parsley" etc.

Head pains were treated with sweet smelling herbs such as rose, lavender, sage and bay. Stomach pains were treated with wormwood, mint and balm. Amputations were performed by surgeons the ‘stump’ was cauterized with a pitch. Wounds were treated with vinegar as a cleaning agent and it was believed it would kill the disease. Typhoid, broken bones, wound, abscesses and fractures were treated in unsanitary environments.
