Introduction: Myelomeningocele , commonly known as Spina Bifida, is a birth defect in which the spinal cord does not develop properly due to incomplete closure of the neural tube at 28 days of gestation. The overlying bones and skin are incompletely formed and the underdeveloped area of the spinal cord is exposed on the surface of the back. It is the most common multicomplex birth defect affecting the central nervous system that results in permanent disability . With advances in treatment modalities
Spina bifida is part of a group of birth defects called neural tube defects. The neural tube is the embryonic structure that eventually develops into the baby’s brain and spinal cord and the tissues that enclose them. It usually forms early in the pregnancy, closing by the 28th day after conception. However, in babies with spina bifida, the neural tube does not close properly and the backbone that protects the spinal cord doesn’t form as it should. This results in damage to the spinal cord and nerves
Spinal Bifida study has reveled that future mothers who has prenatal care or education from an certified physician have dramatically decrease pregnancy diseases. Education and prenatal care is the major factor in preventing possibly birth defects such as: “Spina Bifida.” Spina Bifida is a birth defect of the central nervous system (CNS). According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Spina Bifida, which literally means “cleft spine”, is characterized by the incomplete
of heart disease. Riboflavin is also significant for red blood cell construction, which is needed for transporting oxygen all over the body. B3 - Niacin One of the main uses of niacin is to enhance the good cholesterol in the body. B5 - Pantothenic Acid Pantothenic comes from the Greek word pantothen, meaning “from everywhere.” it is in charge for the production of sex and stress hormones such as testosterone. Studies shows that Vitamin B5 also promotes healthy skin with the capacity to lessen signs
the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system and in blood formation. It is one of eight vitamins. It is usually involved in the metabolism of human cells, in particular, affect the synthesis and regulation of DNA, but also related to fatty acid synthesis and energy generation. As the largest and most structured vitamins, it can only be produced industrially through bacterial fermentation-synthesis. Vitamin B12 is essential for the normal functioning and health of red blood cells and nerve
Our body also needs an ingestion of essential nutrients like minerals, fatty acids and amino acids. Scientists have confirmed the need of at least 13 vitamins and nutrients by the human body. They are: • Vitamin A • Vitamin B1-Thiamine • Vitamin B2-Riboflavin • Vitamin B3-Niacin • Vitamin B6-Pyriodoxine • Vitamin B12-Cyanocobalamin • Vitamin C • Vitamin D • Vitamin E • Vitamin K • Folic acid • Biotin • Pantothenic acid
FUNCTION Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex; it is also referred to as vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid. It is one of the eight water-soluble B vitamins that are important for normal function of body processes. Nicotinic acid can be made in the body from the amino acid tryptophan. In order for nicotinic acid to be created from tryptophan, several vitamins and minerals are required for it to occur. This includes vitamins B2 and B6, iron, and copper. Niacin is needed for energy metabolism

Vitamin B12 (Cobalmin) is a water soluble vitamin and plays a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and in the formation of red blood cells. Vitamin B12 deficiency can occur if the body does not absorb enough vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract or when there is not enough dietary intake of the vitamin. One common cause of deficiency is as a result of pernicious anaemia which is an autoimmune disorder that results in inflammation and damage to the stomach lining

Glutathione is a combination of three amino acids or simple building blocks of protein - glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine. It is naturally produced by the body, similar to alpha lipoic acid and coenzyme Q10, and can be found in every cell. Glutathione functions as a vital antioxidant in the body. One of the most well-known glutathione benefits is that it is very useful in fighting free radicals – molecules that could harm the cells in the body. Glutathione is important in a lot of chemical reactions
titration with sodium hydroxide solution. Introduction: Carbon dioxide plays an important role in soft drinks. Soda water is manufactured by pumping carbon dioxide into water under high pressure. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is the fizz we find in soft drinks. CO2 + H2O ⇌ H2CO3 The popping sound we hear when we open the can of fizzy drink, the bubbles and sparkle we see in the soft drink, and the feeling of bubble popping on your tongue, all of these are due

Point out how excess acid contributes to the discomfort known as indigestion. Explain how the stomach secretes a mucous layer, which protects it from being damaged by the hydrochloric acid it produces. Abstract Hydrochloric acid, which is also called HCl, is a highly corrosive acid. It is a strong
