Stem cell research is a global topic within the science community. There have been numerous discoveries in this field worldwide, and these findings have many scientists jubilant about the possible future implications. Most of the research is associated with the topic of cloning. In the scientific community, the term cloning is broken down into two categories: Therapeutic and Reproductive. In Therapeutic Cloning, the nucleus of an unfertilized egg is removed and replaced via injection with the…

for Disease Control and Prevention) there is no link between vaccines and autism. A 2013 study by CDC found no evidence to suggest that vaccines cause autism. The study examined the number of antigens from vaccines given to children during the first two years of life. The study show the same number of antigens in children with ASD and children without ASD. According to history of vaccines.org, the increase of children with Autism could be because or definition or understanding of…

boose the antibody concentration to a high level. The high antibody concentration is expected to help prevent diseases symptoms. if that individual is exposed to disease causing antigen. An active immuniy is dependent on present memory B-cells and possible T- cells that are capable of responding to lower dose of antigen. Active immunity ugally long-lasting, a booster may be required after a certain number of years. Vaccine are substances that ugally do not cause illness but even so the…

Cancer Stem Cells Stem cells play an important role in the creation of complex structures within the human body, and they can also produce tumors. The properties of stem cells have a large implementation of how cancerous stem cells survive and replicate. Elimination of these cancer stem cells presents a complex challenge because in order to remove the stem cell it must first be targeted and eradicated using critical therapeutic approaches. The properties of cancer stem cells are used to develop…

Streptococcus pyogenes The disease strep throat is one of the most common diseases for both children and teenagers. Some of the side affects of this disease include having a sore throat, swollen tonsils, and pain when swallowing . The pathogenic bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes causes this disease. Streptococcus pyogenes is in the phylum Firmicutes, the class Bacilli, the order Lactobacillales and the family Streptococcaeceae (Brenner, 2005). Streptococcus pyogenes natural habitat is the human…

Vaccines are safe and effective ways to prevent diseases. They are very important, especially to children. Immunization can save children’s lives (1). An estimated 19.4 million infants worldwide are still missing out on basic vaccines (2). By not getting vaccines, you are affecting more than just yourself. The virus spreads to others and affects them. Vaccines should be required so that we can save the lives of people other than just the ones who don’t get vaccinated. Vaccines are required for…

Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is perhaps one of the most notable and widespread neurological diseases that involves the degeneration of the myelin sheath surrounding the nerve cells (Kira 2006). The demyelination of these nerve cells can lead to nerve damage that can hinder communication between the brain and the body, thus ultimately resulting in slowed and impaired motor, sensory, and cognitive function (Chiaravalloti and DeLuca 2008). The deterioration of the myelin sheaths results from an…

from: https://www.wada-ama.org/en/questions-answers/blood-doping 2. The AB+ blood type is considered one of the rarest blood types with only 3-4% of the nation’s population known to have this blood type. This is because A and B antigens are present within the blood. The antigen factor is important to determine to prevent transfusion reactions from occurring. This is simple to determine by obtaining a blood sample and the lab will run a test to determine the Rh factor. If the recipient is AB+,…

pregnancies, blood transfusions, liver diseases, parental substance abuse, hemodialysis, or vaccinations for Hepatitis B, rabies, or influenza. Any of these conditions can stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies that cross-react with HIV antigens and produce a false positive. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), ELISA and the Western Blot test…

Running head: TRANSFUSION 1 TRANSFUSION 2 Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is an under-reported, life-threatening complication of blood component transfusion due to the misinterpretation of symptoms, unfamiliarity of causes, and delay of standardizing methods of prevention. According to Mazzei, Popovsky, & Kopko (2008, 734), TRALI is characterized by symptoms indistinguishable from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and…
