Peptic Ulcers and Its Treatment Introduction Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop in the stomach lining. It is also develop in the lining of duodenum, or esophagus as a result of erosion that formed by acidic digestive juices which corroding the lining of the digestive system. There are three types of peptic ulcers, which are gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers and esophageal ulcers. Gastric ulcers are ulcers that develop inside the stomach. Duodenal ulcers are ulcers that develop in the upper

I Have A Theory The study of the universe as a whole is Cosmology. Although easy to label, it is not easy to explain. The foundation of modern cosmology can be described as an arrangement of observations, hypotheses, theories using science, technology, mathematics, physics, and analytics (to name a few) to strive for answers about our beginning, present, and future. Through time, many types of people have created stories, myths, and ideas of how we came to be. Until the nineteenth and twentieth

Medications were developed that were somewhat of a “copy cat” medication that had very little variation from the original drug but were rebranded to maximize the length of time the drug had a monopoly on the market. For example, the proton-pump inhibitor “Prilosec” or Omeprazole was at one time the best selling drug in the world. By the year 2000, United States sales of Prilosec had reached $5 Billion. In an effort to secure the market with a fast approaching patent expiration, the

interconverts two major "energy currencies" of a living cell: adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and transmembrane electrochemical proton potential difference. ATP synthase is found in bacteria, plants, and animals. In most organisms the primary function of the enzyme is ATP synthesis from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate. The energy needed for this process comes from the proton electrochemical potential difference generated by respiration or photosynthesis. (Boris A. Feniouk, 2002-2010) Photosynthesis

oxygen molecule, amongst other molecules. Acetyl-CoA then enters the citric acid cycle where it generates ATP. ATP production happens during electron transport phosphorylation where NADH and FADH2 from TCA pump hydrogen protons to the intermembrane space then they follow the proton gradient back into the mitochondrial matrix through ATP synthase generating ATP from ADP B. Two key differences between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids are the chemical structure as well as shape. All fatty acids
