PROJECT PLAN 2 Introduction The main objective of the project is to produce the immunosuppressant drug, Cyclosporine from Tolypocladium Inflatum. Patients who undergo solid organ transplantation require an immunosuppressive drug to prevent rejection by decreasing the body's own natural defense to foreign tissues, and Cyclosporin A is one of the most commonly used immunosuppressive drugs in the organ transplantations. Cyclosporin A is a cyclic nonribosomal peptide, consisting of 11 amino acids…

As I read the body rituals that Miner describes such as “inserting a small bundle of hog hairs into the mouth and moving that bundle around in the mouth, also visiting a holy-mouth man once or twice a year who uses a variety of tools to locate any tooth decay, references men scraping and lacerating the surface of the face with a sharp instrument” it was easy to identify these to our routines of brushing our teeth, going to the dentist and a man shaving his face. I believe Miner is referring to…

There are many myths of body image that affect and influence how we see our body image. But there are four myths wich are the most important. The first one says that how you look is more important than who you are, But does your weight really matter in order to be successful in life? In this generation most people think that way, Who wouldn't like to have a well shaped body, and have a successful life. However, in this society some of the people who consider themselves atractive tend to feel…

fluid redistribution and a reduction to immune system effectiveness. The first problem caused by weightless environment is great loss of muscle mass. On Earth, we constantly use certain muscles, which are called antigravity muscles, to support our bodies against the gravity. However, in the space where there is little or no gravity, we no longer keep using these muscles. As a result, these muscles would atrophy or, in other words, start to get smaller and weaker. According to the research of…

After graduation a person often enters into a state of rebellion. For myself, I experienced a mild form of the phenomenon. I wanted to get an ear piercing. I had grown up in a culture where tatoos and piercings had tranformed from a social taboo into a cultural norm. At my high school, anyone who was anyone had a cartlidge piercing. I was never allowed to follow this trend because my mother said that it was not practical because of cheerleading. As our textbook states (Frings, 2008) "fashion…

Sports Medicine Since as long as I can remember, I have continuously gone through the motion of learning a topic and moving on. I was never intrigued or excited about a topic as my peers seemed to be. As I transitioned into high school, my friends all appeared to know what path they wanted to take for the future, while I had no idea. Therefore, I decided to take an ROP that my brother had taken and once I started learning in class, I knew this was my path. I have never felt so passionate about…

then results in body dissatisfaction. (Tiggemann 2004) Social comparison theory has great deal to why we are so affected by the media. We see a picture online of a pretty skinny successful person we are bound to evaluate the image and compare ourselves after all, we are our own biggest critics. Fitness on Instagram is huge and I find that we are constantly finding ourselves saving images of “ideal fit people” in a sense to give us motivation. We are saving those in hopes that our bodies will…

better explain previous answers or even newly proposed questions. As mentioned earlier, humans tend to feed off of each other when it comes to innovation and discoveries. For example smoking was originally said to be healthy and good for the human body. But now doctors from all around strictly request to stop smoking because of its many health issues. It was not their fault, they were just ignorant at the time. Modern medicine in the 50’s was nowhere near where it is today. The work of previous…

believe that we humans are never happy with what we have, we always want more and more. We always find something to dislike about us or what’s in our surroundings. That’s why we are easily to criticize mostly about everything we dislike or do not find appropriate around us or what’s even worse our own selves. We always look for new things like for example new styles, clothing, music, food and most importantly technology; which leads to being a part of my main topic, Plastic surgery.…

I was wrapping up my junior year of high school and began looking at schools to start my undergraduate career. My sister was accepted into Depaul University. As we prepared for the eventful summer ahead, I was excited for what was in store. Towards the summer’s end, my sister began experiencing migraines a month before she was scheduled to start. For three days she experienced constant headaches and worsening balance issues to the point where she could not stand. Finally, an MRI was done and…
