Acute complications of diabetes include diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome (HHS), and hypoglycemia. DKA and HHS occurs when there is insufficient insulin to transport glucose into the cells. The difference between DKA and HHS is that in HHS an individual has just enough insulin to prevent ketoacidosis but not enough to prevent osmotic diuresis, hyperglycemia, and extracellular fluid depletion (Robbins, Shaw, & Lewis, 2010). DKA is more common in type 1…

They may be caused by changes in the brainstem and its interactions with the trigeminal nerve, which is a major pain pathway (Mayo Clinic, 2013). There are two major types of migraines: migraines without aura and migraines with aura (Migraine Again, 2010). None aura migraines, formerly known…

Blacksite Basin Overview of the ’78 Deathwatch RG-E Project More than six thousand meters below the Atlantic Ocean, entrenched deep into the North American Basin, was a research facility with a security force of one hundred soldiers grown in all manners of test tubes and tissue vats, and a research team of twenty-three men in lab coats, hazmat suits, and exoskeletons.

Have you ever thought about where dreams come from? We have all been there in the middle of the night, where a dream seems so real that you wake up thinking you have actually experienced it. Some people think dreams happen because we are recalling events that occurred earlier in the day, or maybe because we are able to have visions from the future, but do we really know their main origin? Aristotle once defined dreams as a perceptionless state where our senses of our outside stimulus are shut…

muscles shut down. Patients with little dopamine-producing neurons in the brain often fail to get their muscles shut down and may experience violent hitting and shouting while they sleep. Those with low levels of acetylcholine-producing neurons in the brainstem are more likely to have sleep apnea ("Sleep Disorders Linked To Faulty Brain Chemistry, Study Finds”). Sleep disorders are becoming more common in today’s society. Work, school, and other demanding tasks are cutting into time that people…

Our bodies maintain many complex systems in order to have a consistent internal environment to achieve homeostasis. The lungs which are part of the respiratory system play a crucial role in homeostasis by controlling our breathing. The lungs provide the appropriate interface for gas exchange to occur, this includes the delivery of oxygen to the blood and the removal of carbon dioxide carried in the blood to the alveoli which is then expired out of the body. The removal of carbon dioxide also…

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system for most living things. There are only a few animals that do not have a brain like starfish or jellyfish. The brain is located in the head. It receives messages from other organs. The brain is the most complex organ. In a human, the cerebral cortex has more than a billion neurons. Each of these neurons are connected by synapses. These synapses are connected to several thousand other neurons. Neurons communicate with one…
