1. Describe what may occur if hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity occur as a result of drug use. Hepatotoxicity is when the liver detoxifies and metabolizes foreign chemicals in the blood. It can be damaged by drugs or their metabolic products. If liver cells are injured, enzymatic abnormalities usually occur which is when fatty liver deposits form, hepatitis occurs, and in the worst cases liver failure can result. Nephrotoxicity occurs when nephron tubules and/or filtration abilities of the…

pupa are impractical due to health risks, safety and disposal issues related to the use of acetone (Pereira et al., 2013; Segura et al., 2013). As an alternative approach, (Pereira et al., 2013; Teal et al., 2013) provided A. ludens and A. suspensa an agar-based diet containing 5–10% YH along with 0.05% methoprene, but this produced large amounts of waste, became sticky, and was not cost effective. Gomez et al., (2013) also used methoprene combined with food, but in this case as a dry mix with…

As one of the most prevalent Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in United States America, Gonorrhea is reported to affect 820,000 Americans each year (Sutton, 2006).

While it is preventable and curable, it can also be deadly if not treated or caught in time. Gonorrhea is a STI we know a great deal about, yet not everyone knows it's, symptoms, how it's…

Mucor hiemalis showed high resistance to (Zn, Al) (Table, 37 & Fig. 46). The most interesting, high concentrations of zinc stimulated the growth better than low concentrations (Table 37), Aluminum could stimulate the growth of the fungus slightly in concentrations 100 ppm and 300 ppm respectively. Lower and higher concentrations slightly inhibited the growth but aluminum couldn’t stop the growth of the fungus (Table 37, Fig. 46). While (Mn , Cu and Pb) succeeded to stimulate the growth of Mucor…

Introduction Whereas some understanding about creativity and its importance in education exists, many questions remain. For example, while individual aptitudes have been explored as academic outcome predictors (Alloway & Alloway, 2010; Noftle & Robins, 2007), their relationship to creativity lays at the fringes of academic research (Plucker, Beghetto, & Dow, 2004). Although it is considered a higher-order cognitive skill (McWilliam & Dawson, 2008; Perkins, 1990; Sternberg, 2006 Yang, Wan, &…

zor nabo. Hamu wak yak boyn, There were not so many differences. We were all similar”. In other words, the gaps between the haves and have-nots were not so wide. In the 1990s, almost all people lacked access to similar things, which is no longer the case. The new polarization, and inequality anger people more than the actually lack of things.
