<h3>What is lymphedema ?</h3>
  • Lymphedema refers to tissue swelling caused by an accumulation of protein-rich fluid that's usually drained through the body's lymphatic system.
  • Lymphedema can be caused by cancer treatments that remove or damage your lymph nodes.
  • Severe cases of lymphedema can affect the ability to move the affected limb, increase the risks of skin infections and sepsis, and can lead to skin changes and breakdown
  • Treatment may include compression bandages, massage, compression stockings, sequential pneumatic pumping, careful skin care and, rarely, surgery to remove swollen tissue or to create new drainage routes.

The [α] of pure quinine, an antimalarial drug, is −165. If a solution contains 69% quinine and 31% of its enantiomer (ee = 38%),
Elis [28]

Answer: The required [a] for slotion will be -62.7

Explanation:

The specific rotation of pure quinine= -165

% of pure quinine= 69%

% of its enantiomer=ee=31%

Enantiomer excess =(ee)=excess of a single enantiomer/entire mixture×100

Now,

Excess of a single enantiomer=69% - 31%=38%

Entire mixture=69% + 31%= 100%

(ee)=38/100 × 100

=38%

Net rotation= 0.69-0.31=0.38

Hence, [a] for solution will be = -0.38×165= -62.7
