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...

Application of Gay-Lussac’s Law of Combining Volumes

Gay Lussac’s of combining volumes states that gases react in simple ratio with one another and to volumes of the products provided that temperature and pressure remain constant. In this article, you will understand how to apply this law in calculation by studying the following examples below: 1.     2H 2 + O 2 → H 2 O In the reaction above, what volume of hydrogen would be left over when 300cm 3 of oxygen and hydrogen are exploded in a sealed tube?   1cm 3 of oxygen = 2cm 3 of hydrogen 300cm 3 of oxygen = 2 x 300 = 600cm 3 Volume of left over = 1000 – 600 = 400cm 3 2.     Calculate the volume of carbon (II) oxide required to react with 40cm 3 of oxygen. 2CO + O 2 → 2CO 2 1cm 3 of oxygen = 2cm 3 of CO 40cm 3 of oxygen = 2 x 40 = 80cm 3 3.     Calculate the volume of residual gases that would be produced when 100cm 3 of sulphur (IV) oxide reacts with 20cm 3 of oxygen    2SO 2 + O 2 → 2SO 3...
