Neuroeconomics is the multidisciplinary field that intertwines economics, psychology, and neuroscience to develop a unified explanation of human behavior (Glimcher, 2004). The choices that educated people make in everyday life sometimes leave neuroeconomists questioning their decision-making processes. With the help of neuroscience, researchers can determine exactly what is happening in our neural circuitry when confronted with difficult economic decisions, and can more thoroughly explain…

Muscular degenerative disease is a malfunction in the body that often weakens the skeletal muscles and prevents function in the body. The disease was discovered in 1861 by a French neurologist named Guillaume Benjamin Amand Duchenne, but the discovery of the cause was founded in 1886 ("Diseases - DMD”). One particular muscular dystrophy that affects children is called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) in which a small percentage of boys are born with. DMD is a muscular disease that causes…

other viruses, our bodies are unable to get rid of HIV. So once an individual contracts it, they have it for life. This virus attacks the host’s immune system which—in turn—opens up the possibility of other diseases to wreak havoc within the body. To be more specific, AIDS.gov states that HIV’s objective is to attack key points within the immune system. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for AIDS. However—thanks to the advancements in medical science—there are a few treatments available to…

Sensors are attached to an electrical device and they scan the surrounding environment. Then it converts the input signals to a voltage, current or charge. This information will be gathered by a system connected together using wired, optical or wireless instruments. Based of the information gathered the system will output an electrical output to a transducer. A Transducer will then convert the electrical…

Researchers are having a hard time of gathering statistics in the United States on the disease because of its severity ranging from mild to severe. Due to this problem, researchers have been using birth defects tracking systems to gather some results. The system has estimated from less than 1 in 10,000 live births for Microtia, type 1 to type 3, to 5 in 10,000 live births for Anotia. In the 80’s a lot of researchers were trying to figure out if the birth defect is a genetic disease or…

Many doctors are tempted to be radiologist in the search of a long-term and well-paid career. However, some of the doctors aspiring to be radiologist are scared away by the fact of the many risks associated with being a radiologist. Frequent exposure to radiations can cause cancerous disease especially if the doctor is not well protected. It does not matter how low the radiations are, but an accumulation of small amounts time after time is very hazardous to the body. However, attempting to get…

Guide to VNG Interpretation was a concise summary of the VNG test battery in the context of anatomy and physiology of the balance system. The four anatomical sites that contribute to the human sense of balance include the visual system, balance system, proprioceptors, and the brain. The visual system contains oculomotor neurons and eye muscles while the balance system contains semicircular canals, otolith organs, vestibular nerves and nuclei. The proprioceptors include the spinal cord, muscles,…

I. INTRODUCTION Summary. T cells are one of the several types of lymphocytes that performs several functions in immunity. An example function is immune surveillance, a process in which foreign and diseased host cells are recognized and destroyed by natural killer cells. T cells function in immune surveillance by generating a T-cell response (TCR) which allow them to function in fighting against infection (Swann, J. B. et al, 2007). Recent findings indicate TCR and local non-related factors of…

Systems thinking (ST) is a concept to understand how a complex system (e.g. health management) functions as a whole by examining how the components (subsystems) of the entire system are connected and interact dynamically instead of as individual stakeholders. Historically, ST was developed and used by various disciplines in the twentieth century to transfer methods across disciplines known as interdisciplinary (Peters, 2014). Multiple disciplines can collaborate about methods and conceptual…
