Three semi-synthetic echinocandin derivatives have been developed for clinical use: • caspofungin, • micafungin, •…

osteopetrosis, malignant infantile type, is apparent from birth. Affected individuals may have an abnormally large head. Some affected individuals may have a condition called hydrocephalus that is characterized by inhibition of the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid within and abnormal widening of the cerebral spaces of the brain, causing accumulation of CSF in the skull and potentially increased pressure on brain 7 tissue. Symptoms that may affect the eyes may include wasting away of the…

biological materials such as: hair, threads, fingernail scrapings, blood samples, and urine samples (Jackson #). After the body is washed the hair sample is removed from the body and it is stored for examination. Other bodily fluids that are removed during an autopsy are cerebrospinal fluid and stomach contents which are taken set aside for later tests. Determining the cause of death requires pathologists to look at wounds such as close range gunshot wounds that have burning around the edges,…

This difference is shown in the cerebrospinal fluid. The white blood cell count might have increased more than patients with MS. There is also a cell that shows up that’s not related to MS. “A blood test known as the NMO-IgG blood test is positive in 70 percent of patients diagnosed with Devic's…

Recent research on the effects of sleep deprivation on the adolescent mind caused by early school start times, and the body’s circadian clock, suggest later school start times would benefit high school students. Adolescents need at least 9 hours of sleep each night to be able to function in the morning. However, Larry Gable and Kate Kinsella (2013), a professor and neuroscientist at San Francisco State University, and the authors of “Adolescent Sleep Research- Findings for Secondary Schools,”…

muscle cramping, and exaggerated faster reflexes), problems chewing, swallowing, or breathing, drooling, and eventually paralysis (Neil Lava, 2015). ALS can be diagnosed in multiple ways such as laboratory tests, muscle and/or nerve biopsy, cerebrospinal fluid analysis (spinal tap), x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or electromyography (EMG) (ALS-Amyotrophic Lateral…

have learned how a healthy brain functions, let’s take a look at what happens to the brain when it becomes concussed. Supporting Idea / Evidence / Detail 1 – There are natural protectors of the brain, such as hard skeletal wall structure, cerebral fluid, and layers of membranes. But even with these protectors the brain can still become severely injured. Brainline states that, “Because the brain is very complex, every brain injury is different. Some symptoms may appear right away, while others…
