Patient Afib is a 58 year old, Caucasian, married male. The patient has been healthy most of his life with no significant health issues until the beginning of this year. One night, in April of 2016, patient Afib began to experience chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting prompting him to visit the emergency room. Subsequent tests revealed that patient Afib had symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Physicians in the ER stated that patient Afib probably had had atrial fibrillation for a…

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was first discovered in 1907 by Alois Alzheimer, a German psychiatrist and neuropathologist. He noticed that the brain tissue of a recently deceased woman was exhibiting strange abnormalities. Upon further examination he discovered abnormal clumps and tangled fibers; which are now known as amyloid plaques and tau tangles. Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible and progressive brain disorder characterized by memory loss and loss of cognitive abilities. While Alzheimer’s…

Neurocognitive disorders are shown to be some of the most prominent disorders in the US. Neurocognitive disorders can effect any demographic; they do not choose only certain type of people, and they can have an effect on anyone no matter their age, gender, ethnicity, etc. A Neurocognitive disorder is a disorder that is usually developed over time and affects mainly people of the older generation. A lot of these neurocognitive disorders are shown as a deterioration of certain areas in the brain.…

in Hebrew) or the Beta Israel community, have a complicated, controversial, religious history.

The second that they are descendants of the Jews who left the conquered Kingdom of Judah in Egypt after the destruction of the First Temple in 586. The third is that the Beta Israel were from…

clusters of protein fibers between the nerve cells, as seen in Figure 1. They can be formed when pieces of a protein, also known as, beta-amyloid, begin to bundle together. The beta-amyloid are smaller pieces to a large protein that is found in the fatty membrane surrounding the nerve cells. Beta-amyloid stick together and eventually form plaques. Small clumps of beta-amyloid are more damaging than the larger ones. This is because the small clumps can possibly block the cell-to-cell synapses.…

The Ampicillin Effect of Escherichia coli in a Beta Lactamase plate and non Beta Lactamase plate. Jimena Cárcamo Lab 4 Concepts in Biology 173 C October 6, 2014 INTRODUCTION Bacteria can be conserved in a lab in many different ways, but the most common way is a suspension culture. A suspension culture is when the cells are grown in a sterile, full of supplements, broth. The broth allows the cells to divide and grow easily and will later turn into broth turbid. When culturing…

functioning of an organism” (Comer, 2014). Comer also explains that, “The plaques and tangles that are so plentiful in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients seem to occur when two important proteins start acting in a frenzied manner. Abnormal activity by the beta-amyloid protein is key to the repeated formation of plaques” (2014). Researchers have found that early-onset Alzheimer’s, which is onset before the age of 65, run in families. Personally, I have had one friend of my family get Alzheimer’s…

Nifedipine Nifedipine is a common drug used to treat a variety of disorders from hypertension and angina to preventing premature labour in pregnancy (Aedla, N, et al. 2012). It originated in the early 1970’s from the works of Bayer, who developed the short-acting formulation that proved to be successful in controlling high blood pressure, however due to its side effects, was modified to a long-acting formula which produced fewer side effects and is commonly used in modern obstetric practice…
