Cadaver

Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus has played a huge role in pop culture since it was published in 1818. From movies, numerous plays, and allusions in other works of art, many people have fallen in love with the story. What some people might not know is that the story was made like a spider web from a combination of ideas and influences that Shelley then weaved to create this story. Even though the novel is about a mad scientist who brings back the dead, one of the…

Criminal behavior has been observed, evaluated and researched for many years. Some analysts have come up with theories to provide insight into why and how people are influenced to commit crimes. Some of those theories include the biological, sociological, and psychological theories of crime. These theories bring an explanation on why humans may commit criminal activity, and what specific influences have an effect on them. To understand what these theories are, and how humans are affected by…

In 1893, Historian Frederick Jackson Turner expressed his feeling on the frontier thesis. He explained that the frontier influenced the American culture by promoting individualistic democracy. “The frontier,” he asserted, "is the line of most rapid Americanization." He also expressed that expansion to the American West changed people’s view of their own culture. The western frontier, however, did not appear to be what it seemed like. Turner described in his frontier thesis that the West was a…

I am a mixture. A mixture of the habits I have developed from those closest to me, the cultures of my ancestors and my parents, along with interests that are ever growing. Among these there are a few that were instrumental in the discovery of both myself and what my future held in store. For the past 17 years I have grown up in a household that was much larger than one roof could cover. I was raised by my parents, my tías, and my teachers, and from each have learned something valuable. Through…

The reductions of infections among patients can be greatly improved if health care workers quit being irresponsible and start following hand hygiene policies. Hospitals need to enforce hand hygiene compliance rather than relying on encouraging doctors and nurses to do it themselves. Hand hygiene is an effective way to prevent the spread of infections. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 40 percent of nosocomial infections in patients are caused by poor hygiene of doctors. Another…

After a great amount of hard work and sewing together body parts from different cadavers he makes his creation. However, it is not a beautiful piece of art he had anticipated but a hideous and large creature with yellow eyes and skin that is torn and ripped revealing tissues and muscles underneath. Frankenstein describes…

is she especially amazed to see the body, and/or, turn into a piece of it by stepping into the eye attachment. What happens next puts the nail in the pine box of the challenge component of this story, as Alice Walker portrays the bare grin of the cadaver, and the rotting, decaying, white noose. Once more, what is traditionally viewed as immaculate and great, is depicted as decaying, and grimy. The body, which is thought to be a dark man, is seen as having a stripped, or powerless, uncovered and…

I realize that I have not appreciate things and the loved ones that surround me. I had wasted valuable time and looking back, I wish I could have spent more time with my brother David and my father Adalberto. Since I joined the military my family and I had been distance for several years at a time. The first personal account I choose was “Confluences” by the author Jennifer Sinor. This essay reminds me of my brother David. We spend a mass of time together camping and enjoying the wilderness…

Upon investigation, Tello concluded the Paracas culture used an artificial preservation technique that he formulated because of a suspected carbonization of the bundles. Tello inferred that there was a form of incineration that the Paracas people used in their preservation (Guillén 2004) and concluded that this may have been ceremonial or accidental. Yet, in a study by Yacovleff and Muelle, they argue that mummification was caused by natural desiccation (Vreeland Jr 1998). They cite the aridity…

is material made of osseous tissue that is placed in a bone to facilitate and encourage regeneration when subpar conditions exist (Roberts and Rosenbaum 2012). Bone grafts are derived from a variety of sources, including the patient itself, human cadavers, and synthetic substitutes (Roberts and Rosenbaum 2012). With the creation and innovations of bone grafts, complex fractures can be healed and the medical possibilities expand, even into areas such as bone-related defects. One example which…
