ITALIAN’S NIGHTMARE

A male, 30-year-old patient is brought in the Emergency Room for having continuous,
uncontrolled seizures. Patient had no known history related to the convulsion, and had
previously consumed a large amount (~1kg) of pasta the night before as a challenge.
Emergency measures and serology tests were performed with the results of positive IgA EMA
(anti-endomysial antibodies) indicating the patient suffers from an autoimmune disorder
called ‘Coeliac Disease’ (by which the sufferers cannot eat food rich in gluten, and may
develop at any age) The sufferers may have the tendency to having seizures, thus
anticonvulsant medication might be needed. A widely known anticonvulsant is Potassium
Bromide (KBr).
6.3 grams of potassium hydroxide chunk is dissolved in 1000 mL water, 100 mL of it is
mixed with a mixture of 100 mL Ca(OH)2 with pH = 13 – log 2, 200 mL of HCl 0.04 M, and 600
mL of H2SO4 with pH = 1+ log 6. The final pH is 3 – log 3 (Ar K = 39, O = 16, H = 1).

After finding out its purity, 200 mL solution of the same potassium hydroxide is finally

BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU CONSUME

Andy, a 21-year-old male scheduled a visit with his doctor. He felt generally ‘not-good’
and does not know what’s exactly wrong with his body. After thorough anamnesis, Andy’s
neck area is biopsied using FNAB method and a neoplastic structure in his parathyroid gland
is found.
Andy had a history of using vitamin D supplement. However, he did not use it anymore
as some of his friends said it is not good for health. The body compensates the sudden loss of
vitamin D by regulating vitamin D excretion by parathyroid hormones. Thus, a benign-
neoplastic structure is found on Andy’s parathyroid gland.

In a fictional herbivore mammal called “Bearcat”, fur color is determined by a gene with three
alleles. Those alleles are M (black fur phenotype) > m’ (grey) > m (white); “>” shows the

occurs in bearcat population. Immediately after that event, a group of scientists surveyed the
population, and measured the allele frequency.

G-PILL

A doctor named Dr. Nash is experimenting with making a drug for 'Goitre', he named
his invention 'G-Pill'. One of his patients who suffered from the disease voluntarily offered to
help testing the drug. When he about to give the drug to his patient, he forgets the right
composition to make a 'G-Pill' of the two substances.
All he remembered was his previous experiment about the rate of the 'G-Pill' reaction,
namely:
 2 of these substances react as follows: X + Y -> XY.
  Changes in the concentration of both substances (X and Y) play a role in changing the
rate of reaction
 The reaction rate when 50% of the X substance reacts is 3.75 M / minute
 The reaction rate when 50% of the Y substance reacts is 2 M / minute
 The reaction is a second order reaction
 He experimented with a 1 L volume container

1. Using the mole parable of the substance x = a, and the mole of the substance y = b,
determine the values of a and b [Constant rate(k) = 0.25 M-1/s-1)] [15]

In another test, after Z% of substance X reacts, the reaction rate is half of the reaction’s
maximum rate. But the Dr. Nash forgot about the amount of Z.

“Drought in Sragen”

A long and bad dry season can lead to a drought phenomenon. This drought can cause
various adverse effects, such as malnutrition and cracked soil. For example in the village of
Jono, Sragen, Central Java, the land is consisted of clay that is often cracked during drought.

Some researchers are looking for ways to avoid this happening by mixing clay with sand, so
the soil would absorb more water. They take 450 kilograms soil samples from the area with
effective normal charge of the soil is 78,3 𝑘𝑁⁄𝑚2 and by adding x kilograms of sand, so that
the total mass of the soil is 290 kilograms. If known the mass of the water in the soil is 800
kilograms and the friction angle of the soil is 27°

In the following statements, give (T) if the statement is true and (F) if the statement is false.

1. If the shear force of the soil is 49.7 Nm, then the pulling force between the particles in
the clay is 10.550 𝑁⁄𝑚2 .
2. The cracks on a land does not have a specific pattern.
3. The crack phenomenon will leave the same statistical features.
4. Sand must be added into the clay so the crack won’t happen as much as 14.44% of the
weight of clay.

NICKEL ESSENTIAL

One of essential mineral our body needed is nickel, which believed to play a role in
physiological processes as a co-factor in the absorption of iron from the intestine. The
interaction between nickel and iron occurs only under certain conditions. Nickel increased the
absorption of iron from the diet in iron deficient rats (female), but only when dietary iron was
in the unavailable ferric form, whereas a mixture of ferrous and ferric sulphates (60% ferric
to 40% ferrous) as a supplement to the diet did not elicit any effect.

BOMBAY PHENOTYPE

Bombay blood phenotype is a rare genetic

trait originated in Bombay, India. In this case,
parents with O blood phenotype can have a
non-O blood phenotype child. According to
this, there are supposed to be 2 genes which
determine human blood type: I gene (with 3
alleles, IA, IB, and I o) and H gene.

A person with A blood type adds A

polysaccharides to the H component, and the
B blood type person adds B polysaccharides
to the H component. In contrast, a person
with Bombay trait does not produce any H
component of erythrocytes (both copies of H alleles are recessive) so that any I gene
expression does not affect the blood type phenotype. An existence of dominant H allele will
give a person possibility of expressing H component. Both of H component and
polysaccharides will be exposed on the cell membrane. In conclusion, a person with O blood
phenotype does not always have O blood genotype (Io Io) with the role of H gene.

Given that the frequency of O blood phenotype is 0.5359, frequency of B blood phenotype is
0.2912, and frequency of h allele is 0.3

PHYSIOLOGY BEHIND THE KICK

Messi had run through three players and finally scored a goal for Argentina. When he
runs, his muscles contract so fast to make himself move even more quickly. To be able to
contract, muscle cells need energy derived from ATP. Free energy from ATP can be used when
ATP changes into ADP according to this reaction:

ATP4- + H2O  ADP3- + HPO42- + H+ ∆G0’ = -45.75 kJ mol-1

In most living cells, PH is close to 7. The standard state of ∆G is defined as having a

constant PH of 7. In equation with ∆G and K for reactions at PH 7 the concentration of H+
omitted. Standard concentration is 1 mol dm3.
If in the cell the following concentrations have been measured:
[ATP4-] = 1.25 mmol dm-3
[ADP3-] = 0.75 mmol dm-3
Calculate the concentration of [HPO42-] if ∆G’ = -28.37 kJ mol-1 and the reaction occurs
in the muscle cell at 250C and pH = 7! (R = 8,314 J K-1 mol-1) [40]
