Overview

Functions

Examples

StoichTools

comprises

a

set

of

Matlab

functions

for

doing

stoichiometric

analysis

These

functions

parse

standard

chemical

notation

for

a

variety

of

stoichiometric

calculations

including

finding

molecular

weights

balancing

reactions

for

atom

and

charge

conservation

finding

independent

reactions

and

displaying

formulas

in

Hill

notation

The

functions

account

for

both

change

and

atomic

balances

so

they

can

be

used

to

balance

ionic

reactions

and

chemical

half

reactions

StoichTools

has

extensive

documentation

including

a

set

of

worked

homework

problems

demonstrating

use

of

the

functions

These

functions

were

developed

to

support

undergraduate

teaching

in

chemical

engineering

Comments

are

welcome

and

appreciated

DATA

TYPES

StoichTools

works

with

two

types

of

data

Chemical

formulas

Each

chemical

formula

is

a

string

written

in

a

nearly

universal

chemical

notation

For

example

represents

Sulfuric

Acid

Grouping

is

allowed

eg

for

octane

witheither

parentheses

or

brackets

Charge

is

indicated

by

a

trailing

or

followed

by

an

optional

number

eg

or

Phase

information

may

be

included

as

a

terminal

aq

l

g

or

s

Cell

arrays

can

be

used

in

most

places

to

work

with

multiple

formulas

at

one

time

eg

Atomic

representation

Many

calculations

require

knowledge

of

the

charge

and

of

number

of

atoms

of

each

type

in

a

chemical

species

This

is

maintained

in

a

Matlab

structure

where

rC

for

example

is

the

number

of

carbon

atoms

The

symbol

after

the

dot

is

the

standard

or

character

symbol

for

an

element

The

symbol

Q

is

reserved

to

indicated

charge

A

Matlab

structure

array

is

used

to

store

multiple

atomic

reprentations

in

a

single

variable

StoichTools

provides

functions

for

the

following

types

of

chemical

calculations

WORKING

WITH

CHEMICAL

FORMULAS

r

processes

a

chemical

formula

to

produce

an

atomic

This

function

is

mainly

used

by

other

functions

to

process

chemical

formulas

hillformula

processes

a

chemical

formula

or

atomic

reprentation

to

produce

a

chemical

formula

in

standard

Hill

notation

The

Hill

notation

widely

used

to

represent

species

in

chemical

databases

such

as

the

NIST

Chemistry

Webbook

A

negative

value

denotes

a

reactant

a

positive

overview Prostate problems PSA screening for prostate cancer Repairing groin hernias Swelling and edema Tips for hyperhidrosis Throat clearing FAQ What you can do about gout Everyone knows that keeping stress levels low is an important component of a healthy lifestyle Managing stress can have all sorts of positive effects on your health like lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels which can lead to a decrease in risk of heart disease But have you ever wondered if stress itself can directly cause a heart attack The answer is not exactly But sudden severe stress can cause something called stress cardiomyopathy also known as broken heart syndrome or takotsubo cardiomyopathy an underdiagnosed health condition with symptoms that are very similar to those of a heart attack What is it The word cardiomyopathy refers to heart muscle that is weakened resulting in the heart not working as well as it should Stress cardiomyopathy refers to weakening of the heart as a result of intense physical or emotional stress The intense grief that comes with the death of a loved one is a common cause of this condition However emotions like extreme anger fear and surprise can also cause it Physical stress to the body includes stroke dehydration or low blood sugar What happens After a person experiences an intense emotional event stress hormones such as adrenaline are released into the body at levels that can be 10 to 30 times the normal levels Stress hormones usually help the body cope with stress However at these toxic levels of hormones its thought that the heart becomes overwhelmed and stunned to the point where it can no longer pump properly It is not certain what exactly happens to result in the heart pumping inadequately It may be due to a decreased oxygen supply to the heart or due to too much calcium entering the heart cells In any case it can result in shock heart failure and heart rhythm problems all of which can be lifethreatening if not treated But with treatment most patients make a full recovery sometimes in just a matter of weeks The effects of excess stress hormones on the heart are brief and do not cause permanent damage to the heart What are the symptoms Symptoms of stress cardiomyopathy include sudden onset of chest pain sweating nausea vomiting shortness of breath low blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythms These symptoms normally occur soon after a severely stressful event Because many of these symptoms are also symptoms of a heart attack it is easy to mistake stress cardiomyopathy for a heart attack Stress cardiomyopathy vs heart attack Heart attacks and stress cardiomyopathy can have very similar symptoms but they are different conditions Most heart attacks are caused by blockages or blood clots in the coronary arteries the blood vessels that supply the heart resulting in a decreased flow of blood to the heart that can lead to heart muscle cells to die This is what can cause permanent damage to the heart muscle cells On the other hand the heart is not permanently damaged with stress cardiomyopathy Stress cardiomyopathy does not seem to be a result of artery blockages or blood clots For most people that suffer stress cardiomyopathy the heart weakness usually stops within a couple of weeks and there is no permanent damage Lisa Tourountzas Overview Andropause Climate change and your health Complementary and

Can cannabis be a sleep aid Last reviewed Fri 31 August 2018 By Aaron Kandola Reviewed by Debra Rose Wilson PhD MSN RN IBCLC AHNBC CHT Does cannabis help with sleep Should I take cannabis for sleep Takeaway Cannabis has long been used to aid sleep A frequent lack of sleep can have a significant impact on mental and physical wellbeing But using cannabis requires caution not least because it is currently unclear whether the drug has proven benefits for sleep Several states in America have recently allowed healthcare professionals to use cannabis as a treatment for various medical conditions Others are also currently considering their position on the medical use of cannabis With the legislation around cannabis use rapidly changing the question of whether it can help with sleep is becoming ever more critical Does cannabis help with sleep Studies have produced mixed results about cannabis as an aid to sleep Cannabis is known to induce a state of relaxation and drowsiness that could help to induce sleep Research on the possible sleep effects of cannabis date back to the 1970s but highquality studies are scarce because of the drugs legal status The ongoing changes in the legality of cannabis are being driven by changes in attitude and by a greater understanding of its potential medicinal use There are many different components found in cannabis The two most commonly studied elements are Cannabidiol CBD This is a nonpsychoactive compound meaning that it does not induce the highs associated with cannabis Tetrahydrocannabinol THC This is a psychoactive component that causes many of the feelings of being high Most medical research has focused on CBD which has several proven health benefits What do the studies say A study in 147 participants with and without sleeping difficulties found that cannabis use reduced the time taken to get to sleep in both groups A further 2014 study looked at the therapeutic effect of CBD in people whose sleep was disrupted by anxiety such as in the case of posttraumatic stress disorder PTSD The research team noted that at the time PTSD was an acceptable condition for medicinal cannabis use in five states and cannabis use for medical reasons was growing in the US The study concluded that many people with PTSD used cannabis to help them sleep But the longterm consequence of the habit was not known and more research in this area was needed But a 2017 review of the scientific research into cannabis use for sleep and sleep disorders concludes that the overall picture is far from clear and more studies are needed A study using rodents only found that CBD could induce a deeper sleep state in rats that researchers had subjected to anxiety But an earlier study in humans found that CBD produced a more alert state while THC acted as a sedative A further 2016 study found that daily cannabis use had a negative impact on sleep quality in young adults who had no reported sleeping difficulties Again the researchers in this last study concluded that more largescale research was needed to assess the true impact of cannabis on sleep To further cloud the picture much of the current support for cannabis as an aid to sleep is anecdotal So further investigation is needed to find out if the benefits are real or not It may also be the case that cannabis is only helpful for people with sleep disturbances such as insomnia Should I take cannabis for sleep A person should ensure the room they are sleeping in is dark and quiet People sometimes smoke cannabis with tobacco which is a known carcinogen It is also possible for cannabis use to become addictive and for it to have a negative impact on mental wellbeing particularly in people who may be susceptible to anxiety or other mental health problems Taking cannabis to sleep is not a natural method of inducing sleep and it can lead to a dependency on the drug For more longterm solutions to problems falling asleep people may want to try some of the following natural methods going to bed and getting up at the same time each day including weekends ensuring the room is dark and quiet when trying to sleep avoiding the consumption of large meals within an hour before bed exercising regularly each day avoiding caffeine especially close to bedtime Everything you need to know about marijuana cannabis People use marijuana for a wide variety of conditions but what are its effects and hazards Learn more here Read now Takeaway When taking cannabis medicinally for sleep it is best to choose a method that is most comforting This can vary from
