Personalized Medicine: The Future of Tailored Healthcare

  Imagine visiting a doctor and receiving treatment that’s perfectly matched to your DNA, lifestyle, and biology—no trial and error, no guessing. That’s not science fiction anymore. It’s the reality of personalized medicine, one of the most transformative trends in modern healthcare. Also known as precision medicine, this approach uses your genetic information to predict, prevent, and treat diseases more accurately and effectively than traditional one-size-fits-all methods.   What Is Personalized Medicine? Personalized medicine involves analyzing a person's genes, environment, and lifestyle to design specific medical care. Instead of giving everyone the same drug, doctors can now use your DNA to determine: 1. Which medications will work best for you   2.  The correct dosage   3. Your risk of developing certain diseases     Benefits of Personalized Medicine 1. More Effective Treatments   By targeting the root cause of illness (o...

Rate of chemical Reaction

  The rate of a chemical reaction is the number of moles of reactants converted or products formed per unit time. It varies from one chemical reaction to another because some chemical reactions are faster than others. The rate at which a reaction occurs and its control are significant in industries because they are the factors that determine if the reaction will make economic sense or not. How to measure the rate of chemical reaction Consider a reaction between irons and dilute hydrochloric acid Fe (s) + 2HCl (aq) → FeCl 2(aq) + H 2(g) As the reaction proceeds, the iron is used up and iron (II) chloride and hydrogen gas are formed.   The rate of the chemical reaction between iron and the acid can be determined by: ·          Taking a given mass of iron ·          Adding an excess of hydrochloric acid ·          Noting the time taken for a...

NECO 2023 EXAM Chemistry Practical Qualitative Analysis Review

This analysis is carried out based on some of the reagents required for the exam. These reagents are listed below: Dilute sodium hydroxide Dilute ammonia solution Barium chloride solution Distilled water Red and blue litmus paper Phenolphthalein Methyl orange One boiling tube Five test tube Source of heat Wash bottle containing distilled water Filtration apparatus The salt to analyse is sodium trioxocarbonate IV which will be tagged C. The sample analysis question below will be used to show the picture of how you can identify the ions in sodium trioxocarbonate IV Question C is a sample of an inorganic compound. Carry out the following test on C and identify any gas evolved. 1.        To a portion of sample C , add distilled water and shake 2.        To the mixture from (1), test with litmus paper, add barium chloride solution, and add dilute HCl in excess. 3.     ...
