Agostini's Reaction

	Agostini's Reaction Agostini's reaction is a simple medical test for the presence of glucose in urine. The method consists of adding the urine to a prepared solution of auric chloride and potassium oxide Potassium oxide ( K O) is an ionic compound of potassium and oxygen. It is a base. This pale yellow solid is the simplest oxide of potassium. It is a highly reactive compound that is rarely encountered. Some industrial materials, such as fertiliz ....

	Medical Test A medical test is a medical procedure performed to detect, diagnose, or monitor diseases, disease processes, susceptibility, or to determine a course of treatment. Medical tests such as, physical and visual exams, diagnostic imaging, genetic testing, chemical and cellular analysis, relating to clinical chemistry and molecular diagnostics, are typically performed in a medical setting. Types of tests By purpose Medical tests can be classified by their purposes, the most common of which are diagnosis, screening and evaluation. Diagnostic A diagnostic test is a procedure performed to confirm or determine the presence of disease in an individual suspected of having a disease, usually following the report of symptoms, or based on other medical test results. This includes posthumous diagnosis. Examples of such tests are: * Using nuclear medicine to examine a patient suspected of having a lymphoma. * Measuring the blood sugar in a person suspected of having diabetes mellitus after ...

picture info	Glucose Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula . Glucose is overall the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight, where it is used to make cellulose in cell walls, the most abundant carbohydrate in the world. In energy metabolism, glucose is the most important source of energy in all organisms. Glucose for metabolism is stored as a polymer, in plants mainly as starch and amylopectin, and in animals as glycogen. Glucose circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar. The naturally occurring form of glucose is -glucose, while -glucose is produced synthetically in comparatively small amounts and is less biologically active. Glucose is a monosaccharide containing six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group, and is therefore an aldohexose. The glucose molecule can exist in an open-chain (acyclic) as well as ring (cyclic) form.

picture info	Auric Chloride Gold(III) chloride, traditionally called auric chloride, is a inorganic compound, compound of gold and chlorine with the molecular formula . The "III" in the name indicates that the gold has an oxidation state of +3, typical for many gold compounds. Gold(III) chloride is hygroscopic and decomposes in visible light. This compound is a Dimer (chemistry), dimer of . This compound has few uses, although it Catalysis, catalyzes various Organic chemistry, organic reactions. Structure exists as a bridging ligand, chloride-bridged Wiktionary:dimer, dimer both as a solid and vapour, at least at low temperatures. Gold(III) bromide behaves analogously. The structure is similar to that of iodine(III) chloride. Each gold center is square planar in gold(III) chloride, which is typical of a metal complex with a d electron count, d8 electron count. The bonding in is considered somewhat covalent bond, covalent. Preparation Gold(III) chloride is most often prepared by passing chlorine gas ...

	Potassium Oxide Potassium oxide ( K O) is an ionic compound of potassium and oxygen. It is a base. This pale yellow solid is the simplest oxide of potassium. It is a highly reactive compound that is rarely encountered. Some industrial materials, such as fertilizers and cements, are assayed assuming the percent composition that would be equivalent to K2O. Production Potassium oxide is produced from the reaction of oxygen and potassium; this reaction affords potassium peroxide, K2O2. Treatment of the peroxide with potassium produces the oxide: : K2O2 + 2 K -> 2 K2O Alternatively and more conveniently, K2O is synthesized by heating potassium nitrate with metallic potassium: :2KNO3 + 10K -> 6K2O + N2 (^) Other possibility is to heat potassium peroxide at 500 °C which decomposes at that temperature giving pure potassium oxide and oxygen. :2K2O2 -> 2K2O + O2 (^) Potassium hydroxide cannot be further dehydrated to the oxide but it can react with molten potassium to produce it, releasing hydr ...

	List Of Medical Tests A medical test is a medical procedure performed to detect, diagnose, or monitor diseases, disease processes, susceptibility, or to determine a course of treatment. The tests are classified by speciality field, conveying in which ward of a hospital or by which specialist doctor these tests are usually performed. The ICD-10-CM is generally the most widely used standard by insurance companies and hospitals who have to communicate with one another, for giving a overview of medical tests and procedures. It has over 70,000 codes. This list is not exhaustive but might be useful as a guide, even though it is not yet categorized consistently and only partly sortable. The list Where available, ICD-10 codes are listed.
