Dear Deepthi

IF you are familiar with the alligation set up you can do this one a bit

`backwards'. IF you are nto familiar with the alligation set up then you will

need to learn and review it.

Unfortunately the set up gets `lost' in the html internet text translation! So I

have posted the tutorials that do not get distorted for you.

Let me know if you have any problems.

40 % --------5

----------------- x ? = 50 ml of 40%

--------------20

----- 25%

------------15

20 % ---------- x ? = Y ml of 20%

------------- 20

Solve for ? which tells us the total number of mls in final solution

5

--- x ? = 50 ml of 40%

20

? = 50 ml x 20

----------------

5

? = 200 ml of 25% Total solution

200ml total (40% + 20%) – 50 ml of 40% = 150 ml of 20% solutions

150 ml of 20% + 50 ml of 40% = 200 ml of 25% solution

Hope this will post/print well.

Dear darkrray,

I see that you and I posted about the SAME time: I at 2:28pm and you at 2:29

pm....so I think you have not seen my posting yet.

Please let me know if you do not understand my explanation.

Some errors do occur in pharm tech books. but this is not an error.

Hi Jeanetta,

 

for the following allegation i did the same method u told.but iam not getting

the answer.Can you please solve this problem for me.I will be very thank full to

u.

 

How many grams of 2.5% lidocaine jelly should be mixed with 360 gm of 0.25%

lidocaine jelly to make a 1% jelly.

 

Thanks

How many grams of 2.5% lidocaine jelly should be mixed with 360 gm of 0.25%

lidocaine jelly to make a 1% jelly.

2.5% --------0.75

----------------- x ? = of 2.5% 180

--------------2.25

----- 1%

------------1.5

0.25% ---------- x ? = 360 mg of 0.25% 0.54

-------------2.25

Solve for ? which tells us the total number of gn in final jelly

1.5

--- x ? = 0.36 gm of 0.25%

2.25

0.36 gm x 2.25

---------------------- = ?

1.5

? = 0.54 gm of 1% Total jelly

0.54gm total(2.5 + 0.25) - 0.36 gm (0.25) = 0.18 gm (2.5%)

The KEY to the above is that 360 mg = 0.36 grams and in the alligation grams

must be used.

Hope this helps.

The number 360 in question itself is GM.no need to convert that agian to GM

right.

Dear depthi,

You are correct! The problem reads 360 GRAMS not 360 mg.

No excuse, but I was trying to do the math when I was very sleepy!

I should have waited until this am where I see this very clearly.

HOWEVER, that being said your answer of 120 gm is incorrect!

Thank you for pointing out my error. Hope the feeling is mutual!

I will show the correct math in my next email!

Hi,

I've been on LDN since mid-June. I suffer from ME/CFS and one of my worst

symptoms is non restorative sleep. For about the first six weeks on LDN my sleep

improved dramatically, although I had intense dreaming in the early a.m. from

the beginning. I take a bunch of other meds and supplements for sleep, too. But

in the past week to ten days my sleep quality is tanking. I think I'd read that

for some it's recommended to take a short break from LDN, say 3-5 days. I'm not

sure of this. I didn't take it last night, but still had poor sleep quality and

intense dreaming.

When my sleep goes on a regular basis I'm at my wit's end. Wondering if anyone

had any thoughts about this, I guess particularly regarding the value of an LDN

vacation. It's really the only trick left up my sleeve. I can't raise any of my

other meds any higher than I'm on now.

Thanks,

michael

I'm not a dwarf, but I have met one man who was 3 feet tall, and I speak

often with another via email. I'm also working closely with

dwarfchildren.org and run the facebook group for monitoring that charity and

the well-being of the Salman family from Iraq (Now living in Idaho) I have

-asked- questions, such as,

1) How do you avoid floating away in the bath?

2) Do you use a mini-fridge?

3) Do they make shoes meant for your smaller feet, that aren't

children's shoes?

4) Do you become offended when people think you're cute?

I hope very soon, now that the kids' English is better , to get to talk to

and ask questions of the Salman children. <3

by a 4 y.o. ap at a halloween dress up costume party for kids at a boy's club,

of which my 4 y.o. niece was also there but not with the girl. she asked me, was

i real or was i dressed up too? and only the kids were in custome, and i

certainly wasn't. i even had casual everyday clothes on, so it floored me. but i

answered her nicely and sweetly, and said that i was real and that i was really

me. to which, she she smiled, was happy with the answer and left. that was 6

years ago. recently, in august, a 4 y.o. boys asked me if i was a baby

(literally), because he noticed my limbs are shorter than they should be. that

one made me and my mom, because she heard it too, chuckle. kids, you gotta luv

Great topic Adelaide!  There should be two categories, one for adults (truly

Not a question but a comment which 'a later in life' dad used to say to me

pretty much every time he saw me. I say later in life dad as his son was 18, I

was 16, but his dad was like 62, ya know, an old geezer bot:P. And this was his

comment: " Grady, you should sue the city? " Why is that Walt? " Because they built

the sidewalk too close to your a*s! Haha..., " he would laugh.... Once was OK,

twice, thrice.... OK, Walt,

I got it. I should sue the city!!

Or, I would go to a party with my male (ap) friends and there would be females

there, of course, or we wouldn't have gone:P. But, one or two would always end

up embarrassing me, or at least try. One or two would say something something

like this to a girl or girls, " You should go over and sit on Grady's lap. Wait,

he doesn't have one. Wow, it really does suck to be a dwarf! Haha, they'd

laugh. " But, actually that would backfire on them as most then would come over

to me and be sympathetic, and end up talking to me the most:D.

Right after asked me to grow old with him we went to a Halloween party

where we ran into a friend of his and the friend's lady friend.  The lady

obviously had eyes only for because after introductions, with me standing

right there she told she'd always fantisized about " being with a little

guy " .  I looked her straight in the eye and said " So have I " .  She finally

realized I was there, turned red, said " You and he... " , stuttered a bit, and

when I said " Yes " she apologized profusely.  I had to bite my lip to keep from

laughing at her then and there!

The best question I got, which was well over 40 years ago, was from one of the

kids I used to babysit.  After trying to explain everything (he was a bright

kid), he finally came to the following conclusion/question:

 

Did God run out of big bones?

 

I've never had a more honest, sincere question...

Isn't it amazing though, how people will not hesitate to ask us invasive

themselves?!! Have you guys noticed this too? Thankfully though, most of

Like many odd things that can happen to people, even those taking

nothing at all, hair loss has been questioned previously as a

possible side-effect of LDN. From memory it turned out to be due to

something else (thyroid issue??? haven't got time to search) but

most people find on LDN their hair and nails grow faster and better.

Hi everyone,

I started LDN on August 2nd starting at 1.5 mg and I am up to 3

mg. now. My husband made a mistake and mistakenly put the dose to

4 mg. and the side effects were really bad. I have been taking

Eltroxin for close to 30 years at 1.mg. My Dr. did a blood test

which showed the meds had to be reduced so the dose was lowered to

..88 mg with a retest for mid-December. The problem I'm having is

that my hair is falling out a lot. I had very thick hair, long but

so much comes out when I brush it I'm wondering if the LDN has

anything to do with it? Has anyone any info they can share about

this?t happened a few years ago and the culprit turned out to be

the Gabapentin (SP?) I was taking but I have been off that drug

for a few years.
