A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure in which either all or part of the uterus and vaginal tract are removed. An average of 600,000 hysterectomies are performed in the united states each year (National Women’s Health Network, 2016). For women who are infertile, develop cancer, or have traumatic damage, a hysterectomy is generally required to ensure the prolonged safety of the individual. This practice leaves these women with two choices when it comes to having children; they can either adopt a…

The purpose of the stream table investigation was to investigate the variables that influence erosion rates in a stream. Sediments that were eroded at or near Linganore High School end up in the Chesapeake Bay. Sediments eroded from rocks in Linganore Creek and are carried to the Monocacy River. From there, the sediments are taken to the Potomac River. The Potomac River’s water and anything loose in it are dispensed into the Chesapeake Bay. Water transports the material from Linganore to the…

Considering the evaluation of a high-tension area, such as the hand, treatment is guided by initial control of bleeding, prevention of infection, physical assessment, obtaining a health history, allergies, current medications and tetanus immunization history. Primarily, a focused assessment for the presence or absence of tendon, vascular or nerve damage, taking wound measurements, exploring the mechanism of injury and the length of time since the initial injury is paramount. As might be…

Water a vital biological molecule Molecule of water Water is a substance which is transparent, odourless and colourless liquid that has a boiling temperature of 373K, freezing temperature of 273K meaning it is liquid at room temperature. Water is a compound containing 2 hydrogen atoms, but also has an oxygen molecule as well this means it has the molecular formula of H2O. The relative atomic mass of water is around 18 with “11.188% being hydrogen and 88.182% being oxygen” [1]. When bonded it…

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the fifth-leading cause of deaths relating to cancer, with less than half of all patients surviving for more than 5 years following diagnosis. It affects women of all ages, most commonly diagnosed after menopause and aged between 55-65 years, 75% of whom are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease. Risk factors include age, hormone therapy, and most notably genetic syndromes, such as BRCA1 mutations which are involved in 10% of OC cases. This essay will present the…

TGF-beta3. The expression and mRNA level of TGB-B proteins are localized in endometrial stromal, epithelial and decidual cells in human endometrium (Bischof and Campana, 2000). Increased expression level of TGF-B1 in ECM, which stimulates trophoblast adhesion to the ECM. Therefore, TGF-B1 is known as a key protein in trophoblast attachment to the endometrium during the process of implantation (Feinberg et al., 1994; Tamada et al.,…

N-Vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) and its copolymers attracting much attention and have been widely investigated for applications in different field due to its low toxicity, biocompatibility and good film forming (Hemalatha et al. 2014; Anasuya; Lee et al. 2007). The amide group in NVP is highly polar, which confirms it’s hydrophilic. NVP has been copolymerized with various monomers because the amide group has high affinity for many large and small molecules that are known to be good hydrogen-bond…

The filter media of a bio-filter are transportation, adhesion, firm attachment, and colonization. In transportation, the micro-organisms are taken to the filter media and are controlled by diffusion, convection, sedimentation, and the active mobility of the micro-organisms. When the micro-organisms reaches the filter media, adhesion takes place where there is total interaction of energy and can either be reversible or irreversible. The firm…

Koutsomichalis et al (2008) discussed that having high hardness and good adhesion with the substrate the sprayed coating exhibited satisfactory wear resistance. Tungsten carbide is an advanced ceramic material combining a unique set of properties such as high hardness, high melting point, wear resistance, good thermal shock resistance, thermal conductivity and good resistance against oxidation. They can be applied as coatings by thermal spraying processes such as plasma-spraying, high-velocity…

Conspiracies of cancer Everyone knows somebody with it, someone who's beaten it, or somebody who's died from it. It is the second leading cause of death in the United States, and kills more than 500,000 Americans every year. If you haven't figured out what's being talked about already, it's cancer. Cancer is a cureless disease that has caused problems since the Mesozoic era. It is a well-structured disease that knows how to spread everywhere, even after special treatments are used to reduce or…
