Francisella tularensis is an important microbial agent which causes the severe infection of tularemia. The intracellular life cycle of this bacterium is supported by a vast range of protective guards such as enzymes. Although several enzymes are recognized in different subspecies of the bacterium, acid phosphatase and superoxide dismutase are seen in all bacterial subspecies. On the other hand, the most important enzymatic system relating to host cells is NADPH oxidase. For this reason, the…

Graduating high school is a big accomplishment, but it is only the beginning of a student starting their own life and being independent from their parents. For most people, the next step after high school is college, and college has many differences from high school. When applying to college, the main factors prospective students, look at are required test scores, the necessary grade point averages, and tuition costs. While those are important factors to consider, not many people realize that…

Sexual Wellness within the Alaskan Foster Care System The number of Alaskan foster youth is at a record high; just over 2,700 children are in foster care (Dobbyn, 2015). Foster youth are at a disproportional risk to contract sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and experience unwanted pregnancy (Hudson, 2012). Foster youth, in general, state the major reason why these issues exist is a lack of education and relationships with healthcare providers (Hudson, 2012). Alaska has high rates of STIs…

With that amount of sexual activity at such a young age what precautions are being taught in order to protect the youth of tomorrow?

These countries verify through statistics that decriminalizing the act of prostitution creates a much better environment for sex workers who are…

covered in our schools. The idea that abstinence-only sex education is, of course, commonly refuted—after all, it was only recently that a Texas school district, whose curriculum was solely abstinence-only with no coverage on contraceptives, had a chlamydia outbreak. The Guttmacher institute also states that 99% of women ages 15 to 44 have used at least one sort of contraceptive method in their lifetime, although this includes the far-less reliable methods like pulling out and natural planning.…
