THE TOXICITY OF ACETAMINOPHEN(PARACETAMOL

Most drugs, as well as toxins, toxoids and other
xenobiotic compounds, enter the body through
membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, lungs,
or skin. Drugs are frequently toxic if they
accumulate in the body. They are often rather
hydrophobic and are normally converted to more
polar, water-soluble substances before
elimination from the body. Two major types of
reaction take place (often termed phases 1 and
2) usually in the liver. Acetaminophen (N-acetyl-
p-aminophenol) is a widely used analgesic and
antipyretic (fever relieving) non-prescription drug
sold under a variety of trade names such as
paracetamol, panadol, among other names.
The drug is quite safe when taken in therapeutic
doses (1.2 g/day for an adult) but in large doses
(above 10 g) is highly toxic.

New Gorilla Glass Smartphone Screens Promise To Be Stronger Than Ever


New Gorilla Glass Smartphone Screens Promise To Be Stronger Than Ever
Take your selfies in peace.

Imagine this: It’s late, you’re tired. You reach for your phone in your pocket. You go to grab it and before you realize it, your grip has loosened and your precious cargo is on the ground ― facedown.

That next moment, before you turn it over to assess the damage, is terrifying. Is it shattered? Have I broken it? Have I just ruined everything?

Well, the glassmaker behind Gorilla Glass is about to make those moments a lot less scary.

Corning, the company behind the chemically strengthened glass known as Gorilla Glass that’s used in personal electronic devices the world over, has just rolled out a new version of its glorious product, according to The Verge.

In a photo from Dec. 14, 2015, an ice ball breaks up after hitting a sample of Corning Inc.’s Gorilla Glass at the Dearborn Development Center in Dearborn, Michigan.
The latest iteration, Gorilla Glass 5, was specifically engineered to withstand falls onto rough surfaces from waist height or shoulder height (shoulder height being most significant, because selfies!!).

“With many real-world drops occurring from between waist and shoulder height, we knew improving drop performance would be an important and necessary advancement,” said John Bayne, vice president and general manager of Corning Gorilla Glass, in a press release.

The part about the rough surfaces is crucial. Corning did internal research and found that uneven, rough or sharp surfaces are particularly brutal for delicate smartphones. Anyone who has ever dropped their phone in the street can surely attest to this.

Gorilla Glass 5 supposedly survives up to 80 percent of the time when dropped from 1.6 meters, or about 5 feet 3 inches. By contrast, Gorilla Glass 4 could only survive being dropped from a height of about 1 meter, or about 3 feet 3 inches.

However, it should be noted that Corning’s 80 percent survival rate was achieved with glass that was 0.6 millimeters thick. Many companies use significantly thinner glass in their phones ― as thin as 0.4mm.
