were told anything over 2.0 indicated Sepsis. Our patient was started on Fluids, antibiotics and steroids. When we received her lactate came back at 4.2. Her vital signs were not any better. She was still a febrile, hrs running in the 130-140’s, Bp around 80-90’s / 40-50’s with her respirations mid 30’s. The NP was ordering a large bolus of fluids, continuing the antibiotics and steroids. We had noticed swelling in her left leg with heat and redness. A stat CT was ordered. The NP was…

A second important study by Barger, Flynn-Evans, Czeisler, et al.25 examined the sleep deficiency and medication use among astronauts. The objective of the study was “to characterize representative sleep patterns of astronauts on both short-duration and long-duration spaceflight missions”.25 The authors conducted an observational study that examined the ISS and space shuttle missions. To assess sleep, the authors utilized actigraphy and sleep logs, which collected data three months before the…

Overview: What is Williams Syndrome? Definition: Williams Syndrome is a genetic disorder, resulting from the deletion of 26 or more genes one chromosome number 7 (Mervis et al., 2000). That seemingly small loss can affect numerous parts of a person’s physical and mental health, as well as social behavior and sensory perception (Genetics Home Reference, 2014). Diagnosis: Williams Syndrome is a genetic condition that a child is born with and it can impact a child’s prenatal development as well…

The Endangered http://www.care2.com/causes/there-are-only-3-critically-endangered-antelope-left-in-niger.html Caspian seal is the only mammal in the Caspian Sea, http://www.care2.com/causes/bp-signs-offshore-drilling-deal-in-caspian-sea.html which makes it the Sea's top predator. But there is one major threat to the seals: humans. In the past, hunting decimated their numbers. Today, the main threat comes from our appetite for a luxurious delicacy -- caviar.…

As a result, self-training qigong was used, which showed a significant reduction in the levels of catecholamines. Receiving qi has a positive impact on the Blood Pressure, heart rate, and levels of cholesterol and catecholamines. The BP rates are directly linked to the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. The urinary catecholamine has been used to measure the activity of the sympathoadrenal system, which involves a neuroendocrine unit made up of the sympathetic nervous system…

The use of DNA as way to identify people has it 's origins in the United Kingdom because of a technique created by Dr. Alex Jeffreys used…

different primers (OPA 1-20 & OPB 1-20 series) screened by RAPD PCR for differentiating the Mycosphaerella eumusae from other leaf spot causing fungal pathogens in banana, only the primer OPB 10 has generated a unique amplicon specific to M. eumusae at 1300 bp size. A total of nine different sets of LAMP primers were designed based on this specific SCAR derived RAPD marker sequence of M. eumusae and screened for the production of LAMP products (Fig. 1). Out of nine sets of primer screened, only…

According to http://www.encyclopedia.com, DNA which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid is used for human genetic makeup. It has different sequences of bases and exist in human body. The sequence of it nucleotides are A, T, G, C; or, adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, respectively. A DNA fingerprinting, is a DNA pattern that has a unique sequence such that it can be distinguished from the DNA patterns of other individual. The two major uses for the information is for personal identification…
