Candidainfections and cryptococcosis. It may be used by itself or with other antifungals for chromomycosis. Flucytosine is used by mouth and by injection into a vein. It was found that the Flucytosine is the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system. Mechanisms of action Two major mechanisms of action have been explain: • First mechanism: Flucytosine is intrafungally converted into the cytostatic fluorouracil which undergoes further steps of activation and finally interacts…

key institutional driver of China’s underlying urban-rural chasm. The Hukou system was implemented to allow the state to achieve crash industrialization by putting peasants under closer surveillance: “By immobilizing the peasantry and putting them under close surveillance, the state was able to orchestrate extractions from the agriculturalists to support the paramount goal of crash industrialization” (215). The Hukou system was also implemented as a stepping-stone to turn China into “the…

protein are all involved with each other, therefore, in many immune diseases, if one fails your whole immune system could eventually fail. This treatment is relatively new; hence it is still a pretty risky experimentation since it involves getting genes into cancer cells. Gene Therapy is often involved in serious cancer cell treatments; its main purpose is to try to trick the immune system into believing that the cancer cells are foreign. This type of therapy is only used in certain conditions…

of this patient's condition, high-resolution anatomical MRI scans were used showing damage in a location that was bilateral to the lateral occipital cortex (LO). More specifically, damage was seen bilateral to patient D.F.'s occipitotemporal visual system, otherwise known as the ventral stream.…

The central nervous system is crucial to human function; it consists of the brain, spinal cord and a network of nerves moving to the rest of our body. It controls everything in the body e.g. emotions, senses, responses, reactions, body balance like temperature and heartbeat as well as movement of our muscles and glands. The CNS (Central nervous system) covers the brain and spinal cord where the PNS (Peripheral nervous system) is made up of the nerve fibre’s that branch off from the spinal cord…

that provides defense against pathogens in the extracellular spaces of the body. T cells have receptors that recognize peptide fragments of intracellular pathogens transported to the cell surface by the glycoproteins of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Two classes of MHC molecule transport peptides from different intracellular compartments to present them to distinct types of effector T cell: cytotoxic T cells that kill infected target cells, and TH1 cells and helper T cells that…

CELLS The immune system is a complex network of cells and chemicals. It's mission is to protect us against foreign organisms and substances. The cells in the immune system have the ability to recognize something as either "self" or "invader" and they try to get rid of anything that is an invader many different kind of cells , and hundreds of different chemicals , must be coordinated for the immune system to function smoothly. Recent scientific advances in human stem cell research have…

In the beginnings of the creation of a model of our planetary system, Greek philosopher Aristotle stated that Earth could be found at the center of the universe, giving birth to an idea called "geocentrism" around 300 B.C. This belief consisted of planets orbiting Earth in perfectly circular paths called "epicycles". This worked for a while, but as more and more observations were done, the model started to fall apart, with a multitude of additional corrections changing the model until it was no…

What is Psoriasis? Psoriasis represents chronic inflammatory skin condition with complex pathophysiology and significant genetic background. This disease is characterized by erythematous, scaling lesions that exhibit variable patterns and body distribution, as well as different clinical phenotypes. Psoriasis can singifincatly influence the quality of life and usually requires lifetime control. Although hippocrates described scaling diseases of the skin under heading 'lopoi', the first clinical…

Fairy tales are often critically evaluated as having complex socio-political commentaries. Two such tales that have strong socio-political commentaries are Snow White and Cinderella. Variants in different versions of fairy tales help shape a specific commentary. One striking example of this is seen by contrasting Disney’s 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with 1979 film Cinderella by Soyuzmultfilm. These two specific pieces have polar socio-political commentaries. Disney’s Snow White and the…
