evidence of fetal distress. Fetal echocardiography showed complete heart block without any structural heart damage (isolated congenital heart block). She had no symptom of any autoimmune disease but immunological tests showed positive SS-A (Ro) antibodies (anti- Ro titer: 37.5).…

Introduction The movie ‘Outbreak’ came out in cinemas in 1995 shortly after the discovery of the Ebola HF virus in the late 1970s. This movie dramatizes the Ebola HF virus and portrays it as the fictional Motaba virus, it shows in a dramatic Hollywood way how the US would react to a deadly disease outbreak. Of course, being a Hollywood movie there are some facts and many fallacies in the finer, more scientific aspects of the disease. The biosecurity facilities used to control the spread of the…

I am debating in whether to write about the pancreas or Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Both are very interesting. However, I know much more about the function of the pancreas. Such as it producing insulin and lowering blood sugar levels in the body. Also, how its dysfunction creates diabetes. I would like to write my informative essay on the pancreas because type two diabetes runs in my family. I want to understand how the pancreas dysfunction creates diabetes. How its impairment cause an…

diseases by injecting dead bacteria to stimulate the immune system. Immune system is the natural disease-fighting system of the body which vaccinations work by stimulating it. It is able to detect invading viruses and bacteria and thus, release antibodies in order to disable or even kill them. Vaccinations which also known as immunizations prepare the immune system to prevent illnesses or diseases from affecting and harming us. To provide an immunization against illnesses or diseases, the virus…

The modern era advanced the biological science industry with the introduction of biotechnology. The biotech industry allowed the use of technological advancements that assist the use of research. Biotech has also allowed scientist to look at biological topics from a microscopic scale to a nanoscopic scale. One of the biggest innovations is the ability to research single cells. The research of single cells is a topic that is able to be assisted by Fluidgm technology, a biotech company that…

infant formula, there are benefits that are not provided that breastmilk would. With commercially made formula, infants would lack the antibodies that is naturally passed on to the infant that breast milk would have provided. It cannot provide the added protection that an infant may need to fight against infections and illnesses. With the lack of not passing antibodies and protection from mother to infant, frequent visits to the doctor’s office may be a financial issue. Babies that are…

Hepatitis B (HBV) is a viral disease of the liver, discovered by Dr. Baruch S. Blumberg in 1967. As a medical anthropologist, a doctor who studies human health and disease, Blumberg was very interested in the genetics of disease susceptibility. He started a study to see if inherited traits made different groups of people differently susceptible to the same disease. He and his team collected blood samples from around the world, and planned to look for gene differences, and see if the differences…

five main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood has many different functions, transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues, forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss, carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection, bringing waste products to the kidneys and liver, which filter and clean the blood, and regulating body temperature. The blood that runs through the veins, arteries, and capillaries is known as whole blood, a mixture of…

body produces antibodies. The next time that the virus enters a human’s system the antibodies will work fast and quick to remove the antigens from the system and create what is called immunity (Why are Childhood). All parents want for their children is for them to be safe from harm and have a vigorous life. Vaccines will protect children because the antibodies will stay in the body’s system, so the next time the disease reappears the children will not catch the illness. These antibodies can last…

Vaccines for the longest time have been under scrutiny, for their alleged correlation with autism and other bad side effects while also having been credited for eradicated or largely eradicated many infectious diseases. The issue even came up during a recent Republican presidential debate. Under all that scrutiny the real question would be: Are vaccines more helpful or harmful? To really understand the answer to this question, one has to look at certain facts. For example, what exactly are…
