By words left unspoken<br>
But all hopes are shattered<br>
When you find your words never mattered<br>
And all your dreams come crashing down</p>
<p dir="ltr">They say time will heal<br>
The wounds and the pain you feel<br>
But the scars left behind<br>
At times spent together they remind<br>
Are worse than the wound that caused them</p>
<p dir="ltr">They say you should set it free<br>
If your love is true<br>
It will return to you<br>
But for me it was like a balloon<br>
I let go of the string too soon<br>
Now I just stare at it disappear in the horizon</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now don't say I did not try<br>
A single tear I will not cry<br>
What I lost was never mine<br>
What you have turned down could have been yours forever.</p>

It is more like a memory of my externship at K.E.M. hospital.The Medicine Houseman calling me and scolding me for not starting FBS blood collection.Sleep deprived,hungry,exhausted from I am just standing there looking at her chubby white cheeks turn red with anger as this music is playing in the background : <a href="http://youtu.be/P4lbJ9_MFyQ" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/P4lbJ9_MFyQ</a>Dheeraj Morehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04857479449823197517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698168754743563055.post-88908148680476331582013-09-11T12:15:00.001-07:002013-09-11T12:15:56.655-07:00Long story Short<p dir=ltr>Whenever people especially girls ask me "Did you have any girlfriends in the past?". I turn my head down and say "No". Then they look at me with astonishment and as if looking down on me ask "Why?" And I give them a rote reply: From observing my friends with girlfriends I have come to the conclusion that I didn't have any girlfriends because l lack the cardinal quality required for having a girlfriend -'Ability to lie without getting caught' ;Everytime I lie either no one believes me or I am caught. <br>
Then I turn my head down again, smirk and say to myself ,if "I say I lie"it is like "A Brit saying all Brits are liers".</p>

Though you are far away I can feel your presence.<br>
The tides rise and fall each day the same,<br>
The waves seem to chant your name.<br>
These along chats are no match for your touch,<br>
How do I tell you I miss you so much.<br>
But then I thank God for giving me a reason for existence,<br>
After a lotus blooms seeing the Sun because of it's distance.</p>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Lugol's iodine is a dark brown coloured solution (colour of someone's
eyes) containing potassium iodide and elemental iodine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Thyroid storm is an emergency condition triggered by an infection in an
hyper thyroid patient causing high fever, increased heart rate, restlessness
etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Lugol's
iodine acts on the thyroid gland and reduces the production of thyroid hormone
also it reduces the blood supply to the gland and makes the gland firmer hence
easier to operate upon.That is why even though there are other drugs available I prefer </span><span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 12px;">Lugol's iodine</span><span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">.One more thing lugol's iodine can only be given for a 5-7 days if given
for a longer period it causes an increase in thyroid hormone worsening the
condition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">P.falciparum
is the only strain of the 4 found that has a gene which gives it resistance
against chloroquine.In addition, it's life cycle is a bit different than the
others so it is more invasive.It can also cause cerebral malaria
which is fatal.Quinine acts like a magic drug against this type showing
response from the first dose itself and hence it is reserved for treatment of
chloroquine resistant malaria.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Though
resistance to quinine was also seen due to indiscriminate use.It's use was
stopped for some time ,the stopping caused the organisms to be sensitive to it
again and so it remains the most economic drug.Though it can cause destruction
of RBC's causing the haemoglobin to be excreted in urine giving it a black
colour which is known as "black water fever".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Anaphylaxis
is a severe type of allergic reaction.There is a massive release of histamine
which causes blood vessels to dilate and the blood pressure to drop leading to
shock, it also causes oedema (swelling) and sometimes out can also cause
laryngeal oedema so the airway gets blocked making it impossible to breathe.In
such a serious scenario only drug that can act quick enough is adrenaline which
constricts the blood vessels, increases the blood pressure, reduces the oedema
and opens the airway like giving one more breath to a drowning man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">But
it is a very risky to administer because if not properly diluted it can cause
arrhythmia (irregular heart beat) ,convulsions and ultimately Death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Hypertensive
crisis is the rise in blood pressure above 160/100 mmHg with possibility of
damage to organs.It is requires immediate medical attention as intravenous
drugs have to be started as soon as possible.Rarely is it possible to reach the
hospital on time and for this there needs to be an alternative is a drug that
can be administered by a layman and acts quickly. Right now the only one
available is sublingual Nifedipine.Though there is a big controversy about it's
use because of irregular absorption and causing cerebral steal(stealing blood supply from the brain) by pooling of blood in the
extremities and its use for hypertensive crisis has been banned in some
countries but in India I have seen it being used that too effectively so for me
it remains the drug of choice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">The
above mentioned drugs have a major action on heart and can kill the heart
muscle i.e. cause cardiotoxicity if not used in proper way.hence they are
classified under schedule H and to be taken under supervision of a registered
medical practitioner.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;">Similarly Love is a drug , even though it has its adverse effects and side effects , some of which are unavoidable, at times it is life saving. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 12px;">In other words : One man's MEDICINE is another man's POISON.</span></div>

He cannot find a cure for her pain and hence his pain.<br />So he starts consuming ethyl alcohol in high doses which act as an anaesthetic as well as a sedative thus numbing his pain.<br />The side effects include ataxia and loss of muscular co-ordination (sambhalna mushkil ho gaya).Dheeraj Morehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04857479449823197517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698168754743563055.post-46304390954163712832010-10-28T00:45:00.001-07:002010-10-28T00:46:48.905-07:00ONEI had a dream that one day,<br />The world would be without shades of gray.<br />Everything would be wrong or right,<br />Yes or No,no "maybe" for false delight.<br />Then i thought if it could really be,<br />We could run the world on binary!<br />Think of all the data we could analyze,<br />Turn it into knowledge and be truly Wise.<br />We could predict each bubble before it bursts,<br />Stop each pain before it hurts.<br />To know the answers,<br />We need the questions first.<br />But I say we already know the answer<br />and it is not zero,<br />It is ONE!!!Dheeraj Morehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04857479449823197517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698168754743563055.post-31980623836627230072009-06-19T22:45:00.000-07:002009-06-19T22:52:02.193-07:00Boom!!!Nitroglycerin Recipe<br />Like all chemists I must advise you all to take the greatest care<br />and caution when you are doing this. Even if you have made this stuff<br />before.<br />This first article will give you information on making<br />nitroglyerin, the basic ingredient in a lot of explosives such as<br />straight dynamites, and geletin dynamites.<br />Making nitroglycerin<br />1. Fill a 75-milliliter beaker to the 13 ml. Level with fuming<br />red nitric acid, of 98% pure concentration.<br />2. Place the beaker in an ice bath and allow to cool below room<br />temp.<br />3. After it has cooled, add to it three times the amount of<br />fuming sulferic acid (99% h2so4). In other words, add to the<br />now-cool fuming nitric acid 39 ml. Of fuming sulferic acid.<br />When mixing any acids, always do it slowly and carefully to<br />avoid splattering.<br />4. When the two are mixed, lower thier temp. By adding more ice<br />to the bath, about 10-15 degrees centigrade. (Use a<br />mercury-operated thermometer)<br />5. When the acid solution has cooled to the desired temperature,<br />it is ready for the glycerin. The glycerin must be added in<br />small amounts using a medicine dropper. (Read this step about<br />10 times!) Glycerin is added slowly and carefully (i mean<br />careful!) Until the entire surface of the acid it covered with<br />it.<br />6. This is a dangerous point since the nitration will take place<br />as soon as the glycerin is added. The nitration will produce<br />heat, so the solution must be kept below 30 degrees<br />centigrade! If the solution should go above 30 degrees,<br />immediately dump the solution into the ice bath! This will<br />insure that it does not go off in your face!<br />7. For the first ten minutes of nitration, the mixture should be<br />gently stirred. In a normal reaction the nitroglycerin will<br />form as a layer on top of the acid solution, while the sulferic<br />acid will absorb the excess water.<br />8. After the nitration has taken place, and the nitroglycerin has<br />formed on the top of the solution, the entire beaker should be<br />transferred slowly and carefully to another beaker of water.<br />When this is done the nitroglycerin will settle at the bottem<br />so the other acids can be drained away.<br />9. After removing as much acid as posible without disturbing the<br />nitroglycerin, remove the nitroglycerin with an eyedropper and<br />place it in a bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate in case<br />you didn't know) solution. The sodium is an alkalai and will<br />nuetralize much of the acid remaining. This process should be<br />repeated as much as necesarry using blue litmus paper to check<br />for the presence of acid. The remaining acid only makes the<br />nitroglycerin more unstable than it already is.<br />10. Finally! The final step is to remove the nitroglycerin from<br />the bicarbonate. His is done with and eye- dropper, slowly<br />and carefully. The usual test to see if nitration has been<br />successful is to place one drop of the nitroglycerin on metal<br />and ignite it. If it is true nitroglycerin it will burn with<br />a clear blue flame.<br />** Caution **<br />Nitro is very sensative to decomposition, heating dropping, or<br />jarring, and may explode if left undisturbed and cool.<br /><br />P.S: Courtesy of the Jolly RogerDheeraj Morehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04857479449823197517noreply@blogger.com0
