Throughout time, vaccines have successfully saved millions of children. From 1994 to 2014 alone, 322 million cases of childhood illnesses were prevented by vaccines (vaccines.procon.org). Many believe that with vaccinations, the population and future generations are protected from the past diseases that can potentially wipe out thousands. Over time, vaccines have been required to enter many public schools, and in recent events have become mandatory to enter California Universities starting in…

Today, I had a class with two different instructors but I think same scenario in some ways. I learned different things from each instructor: Mr. Rogers and Mr. Charles Rewald. I had another point of view when I finished my class on how important was to be prepared when an emergency is in front of you, and responded within seconds because those seconds can immediately change the patient’s lives forever. By having this class today with these instructors, I learned more about possible emergencies…

This type of food is ‘similar in appearance to, or may be, a conventional food that is consumed as part of a usual everyday diet.

GM foods have been developed using fortification that uses modern agricultural biotechnology.…
When animals are first born it is critical that they suckle within the first 12 hours. They get antibodies from their mother’s milk that protects them from getting viruses at such a young age. Puppies and kittens need this immunity from their mother because they cannot get there first set of vaccinations until they are about 6-8 weeks old.

Body Paragraph 1: To start with, vaccines are shots that have a weakened or dead…
Some people may experience asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Symptoms begin within minutes of exposure to latex products; direct physical contact isn’t needed to trigger an allergic reaction. Anaphylaxis and severe asthmatic reactions have been caused by exposure to airborne particles of powder from latex gloves. Allergic reactions to latex are less common now, since many hospitals and health care workers have switched to non-latex gloves or low-protein…
Are you allergic to seafood? Anyone who has had a procedure done to them that needed iodinated contrast media has been asked this. Researching for an article has lead me to exam preparation guidelines and radiology manuals that say to ask whether the patient is allergic to seafood along with other allergies and even to go as far as asking if they are allergic to iodine specifically. The reasoning for this is that seafood is high in iodine. The fact of the matter is that iodine is an essential…
