Quite a crazy clinic today.
Was very happy to see my mother responding to oral antibiotics and
steroids.
Starting her on I.V. regime of drugs becomes quite a daunting task.
It is good that she understands the pathophysiology of her disease process.
She modifies her treatment as she thinks her body will need.
For example, even though the doctor had stopped Levosalbutamol, she on
her own very judiciously started taking it in the form of nebulizer.
It greatly opened up her lungs.
Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator which acts on beta 2 adrenergic
receptors.
These specific receptors are found in most of our smooth muscles.
It is interesting to know that Copper got its name from the island country of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean sea.
This was where it was predominantly mined during the Roman times.
Just see how the language evolved:
Aes cyprium (metal of Cyprus)...
Cuprum...
Copper
The names are similar in other European languages as well.
Another interesting fact regarding the colour of copper which is originally orange-red.
Can u guess the basis of the colour?
Yes Sir, once again the all powerful atomic theory.
The characteristic color results from the electron movements between the filled 3d and half empty 4s atomic shells.
I have not yet dealt with the concept of electron shells, subshells and orbitals which come from the Bohr model of the atom.
In fact, I have not dealt with Neils Bohr himself, a man who revolutionized physics with the idea of quantum mechanics.
It was actually this man who put forth the idea that electrons can drop from higher orbits to lower orbits, and in this process emit a photon of a discrete energy.
It is hard not to digress mon ami for explanation has no respect for subjects or topics.
We modern apes use copper for its conductive properties;
It is the preferred material for electrical and transmission cables and integrated circuits.
Biology too has found interesting ways to exploit copper as a vital trace element.

Good night mon ami and my fellow cousin ape.
