If we were given the option to work with another country who is researching the same thing, it would be helpful to work together. Collaboration with others is better than just working by yourself.

The adenoids, being located in the nasopharynx, form a major part of the vocal tract, which extends from the lips to the glottis. They have the propensity to change the shape of the vocal tract by mere hypertrophy of thelymphoid tissue.

20 cents worth of materials can help save a life. The same materials that can be used to make a paper version of a centrifuge are everyday items you can find around your house -- paper, string, and plastic. Who would've thought that you could use paper in such a life-saving way! A Stanford bioengineer named Manu Prakash decided to analyze the spin of a toy he played with during his childhood in India -- A whirligig. The toy is quite simple in design and dates back thousands of years. It works…

Iaccarino et al. [11] investigated effectiveness and safety of belimumab with a prospective cohort study. All 67 patients were required to fulfill the 1982 ACR revised criteria for SLE and have active/refractory disease manifestations, detectable anti-dsDNA antibodies and low C3 or C4 serum levels; exclusion criteria were severe lupus nephritis (proteinuria > 6 g/24 h or creatinine > 2 mg/dl), severe active neuropsychiatric lupus, potentially life-threatening SLE manifestations and ongoing…

Cassandra C. is a 17-year-old girl who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Cassandra C. refused treatment for her cancer with the full support of her mother, Jackie Fortin, and their decisions pitted them against Cassandra’s doctors, the lower court system, and eventually the Connecticut Supreme Court (Macklin, 2015). This paper discusses the ethical dilemma posed by Cassandra’s case and will include the ethical principles of patient autonomy, which means “that individuals have the right to…
