Circadian rhythm

In the article from the LA Times, “Sleep Deprivation Has Genetic Consequences, Study Finds”, written by Eryn Brown claims that sleep deprivation can be very unsafe for people’s health. It claims that sleep deprivation can result in gene inflammation, immunity, and protein harm which was caused by tissue harm. The text also declares that after an experiment was run, hundreds of genes in our bodies were amplified when people did not sleep for 24 hours. Brown writes in an informative tone because…

The curtain rises as the sound of a door slowly closing is heard. Willy is walking towards the kitchen sink as Linda watches him with a worried yet warm smile on her face. She is siting on the top of the stairs. Willy turns around after getting a glass of water. Willy, startled: Linda! What’re you doin’ up this late? Linda: I was waiting for you, dear. Willy: That so? Well, you shouldn’t. Linda, noticing Willy’s sweaty forehead and crumpled clothes: Did you work hard today? You look tired…

Short Writing Assignment #1 The study examines whether or not sleep fosters basal odor memory in children and adults using an incidental odor recognition paradigm. The independent variables in this study are sleep (sleep or wake) and age (child or adult); the dependent variable is odor memory performance. The researchers believe that the memory consolidation during sleep is experience-dependent, and therefore, sleep does not support the consolidation of most odor memory in children due to…

“Sleep Deprivation Has Genetic Consequences, Study Finds” Eryn Brown explained that, “Sleep-deprived can be hazardous to your health.” Brown states that, “Losing sleep changed rhythmic patterns in the way genes turn on and off, disrupting the genes’ circadian.” She supports her claim by research and studies, then what the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say, and finally by epidemiologists performing professional tests then telling her the results. Brown writes it in a serious way…

during exercise as it can while you are resting. It should always be treated as an emergency. People with unstable angina are at increased risk for heart attacks, cardiac arrest, or severe cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat or abnormal heart rhythm)." Explain the mechanism of action of the classes of antianginal drugs (i.e. how do they work?) "Angina pectoris is usually the first clinical sign of underlying myocardial ischemia, which results from an imbalance between oxygen supply and…

Hippocrates once said, “Let food by thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” This powerful statement, spoken in the 5th century BC, still resonates with us today. Hippocrates understood the correlation between a well-balanced diet and good health. Hippocrates completed extensive research and studies to prove diseases derive from natural sources. He reasoned that the role of the physician was to aid the body with healing itself against pathogenic organisms. He methodically categorized…

I was assigned the sleep disorder known as narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is defined as being a “chronic brain disorder that involves poor control of sleep-wake cycles” (NINDS). Individuals diagnosed with narcolepsy tend to experience unexpected sleep attacks throughout the day. These “sleep attacks” are uncontrollable and often make it difficult for the person to live a normal and productive life. It is estimated that one in every two thousand people in the US is affected by this disorder. The exact…

A trio of students are working on changing this in the city…
