Heart failure is a common killer of both men and women in the United States every year. It is a very serious issue that plagues this country and other developed countries like it. Heart failure is a syndrome with many risk factors, such as, age, obesity, congenital heart diseases, and many others. A client is considered to be in heart failure, when their heart is unable to profuse tissues in the body with oxygenated and nutrient rich blood for tissue to sufficiently function. A client when…

Cancer is said to be a disease which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue and cells. Today cancer is a leading disease that affects people all over the world “About one in eight women in the U.S. will be affected by breast cancer at least once in their lifetime”. The chances stand that about two women in our classroom will have breast cancer at least once in their life. By learning about breast cancer you can gain knowledge and understand a disease that could possibly…

Introduction Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia is a type of cancer that occurs when bone marrow produces too many leucocytes (white blood cells) . This over production of leucocytes occurs when they grow uncontrollably by overcoming the cell regulation cycle. Cells not undergoing the regulation cycle continue to divide without dying ,causing an overcrowding of cells, hence, forming a tumour in bone marrow. The tumour can become an even more serious issue when the cancer cells from a tumour spreads to…

Impact of the Rabies Virus: Risks and Preventative Measures for Health and Safety Megan Goebel MMI 133 Dr. Judy Gnarpe It is uncommon today to not have a pet as a family member or have zero contact with animals. Due to this increasing trend, it is important to be aware of the risks from zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted to humans. As a new owner, I was given the opportunity to learn from a veterinarian about the health of my pet and common diseases that are preventable with great…

There are thousands of diseases in the world. Some diseases can be cured others cant be. Some of these diseases however, deal with genetics. Genetic disease is defined as a disease caused by an abnormality in an individual's genome ("Genetic Disease"). One genetic disease that affects many people is Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Roughly 20,000 people each year are diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia or AML ("How Many People”). One casualty of these disease is my grandma who passed away of AML in…

receptor. Both of these are members of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) class II. The primary and unique effects of the hormone take place through IGF1R, which, when activated, triggers a chemical sequence called the AKT pathway. This process, revolving around a protein called AKT, has significant effects on the life and death of the cell. iii. A chemical resemblance to insulin also allows IGF-1 to active the insulin receptor. This protein triggers a process that ultimately causes a cell to take…

Review of “A Clinical Trial of Integra Template for Diabetic Foot Ulcer” Summary: Diabetic foot ulcer is happening due to complications involving the slow healing process as a result of the diabetes. The diabetic foot ulcer is cause by diabetes mellitus which increases risk for diabetic foot ulcer. (Driver et al 891) Diabetic foot ulcer can eventually lead to amputation if not treated or if it is too advanced. now there’s a way to treat foot ulcers using synthetic skin grafts. using a bilayer of…

The anatomy between a human foot, horse’s foot or a bear’s foot are completely different. Despite the difference, there are four limbed-vertebrates which have the same basic pattern of bones. Vertebrates are animals of a large group characterized by the possession of a backbone or spinal column. Vertebrates with four limbs are called tetrapods. Generally, all limbs do the same work to achieve one purpose: support the body and move it from place to place. Some animals have limbs that enhance…

Advances in biology have led to many life altering medications, treatments, and solutions to molecular issues. One such region of biology that has altered scientists’ stances on creating a perfect product is the research being done on recombinant DNA. Recombinant DNA is any single molecule containing DNA sequences from two or more organisms. The process of creating recombinant DNA relies on the use of restriction enzymes, gel electrophoresis, and DNA ligase. The first step in creating this new…

nucleus and cause the DNA to create a mutated gene. This gene then causes the cell to create an aberrant molecule. For instance, TCDD, when interacting with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, creates a gene that downregulates a hormone that signals apoptosis. This downregulation could then lead to the development of prostate cancer. PAHs can cause the same result. These xenobiotics and their biological pathways showcase how the transport of pollutants in the body can be complex and difficult to…
