be difficult. According to the CDC (2016), there are about 29,700 new infections each year with an estimated 3.2 million people chronically infected. Vaccinations are not available for this strain, but people are encouraged to get the hepatitis A and B vaccines to help protect their liver from further damage. Since treatment for hepatitis C have advanced in recent years, it has been questioned if a vaccine is even necessary (Liang, 2013). I believe it would be less costly to vaccinate people…

A hoax, an exaggeration, a lie. That is the Holocaust in the eyes of deniers. All three help support their argument of the Holocaust not existing. When Hitler took control of Germany, these anti-semitic views grew rapidly. “While the Holocaust is one of the best documented genocides in history, with a wide array of evidence documenting virtually every aspect of it” (Lipstadt, 2011), people around the world still decide to turn a cold shoulder. Denial of it and distortion of facts are generally…

Summary Hepatitis B Cause Article (11) Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus that is spread through sexual contact or perinatal transmission (11). Adults with hepatitis b usually have it for a short time and then gets better, this is called acute hepatitis b (11). The virus can cause a long-term effect on individuals, called chronic hepatitis b (11). Having sex with an infected individual without the use of condoms is one way of being infected with hepatitis b, sharing needles with…

(P1) The immense history of Greece could not be possible for the remarkable and influential city-states located throughout the regions. Mycenae, Knossos, and Troy are three revered and questioned palatial sites that operated in similar and opposing ways, partially due to the form and function of the architecture. In the late 1800s into the early 1900s, three archaeologists excavated the individual sites of the Aegean basin. Sir Arthur Evans became known as the British archaeologist who uncovered…

1.6 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Previous in silico research in our laboratory found that H2A.B is highly expressed in one particular cancer type, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (HL) is a type of B cell cancer that affects both men and women of various ages. HL can be divided into two classes: classical HL (cHL) and Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant HL (NLPHL) according to the WHO classification 2008 (Swerdlow et al., 2008). The classical HL accounts for 95% of all HL cases, and it has been further…

Epidemiology Hemophilia is one of the most dangerous inherited bleeding disorders, affecting people from the entire world in equal frequency. Overall, the affected population frequency is low and the diagnosis of this disease is inherited about 70% of the time. Sometimes, hemophilia can occur when there is no family history of it and this is called sporadic hemophilia, having approximately 30% of people with non-inherited hemophilia, caused by a change in the person’s own genes…

Hepatitis Delta Virus, more common known as Hepatitis D or HBV, was discovered in 1977. An Italian doctor, Mario Rizzetto, noticed an abnormality in the cells of hepatitis B (HBV) patients. The new antigen in the liver was first thought to come from HBV; however after more research it was discovered that it was its own virus. Hepatitis D is a virus affecting many around the world. (Chhibber and Shanh, 2005) There are two different kinds of the virus that can be acquired, co-infection and super…

The Microbe Hepatitis B virus belongs to a group called, Hepadnaviridae which consists of diseases that contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and affect the liver. Hepatitis B is a virus therefore; hepatitis B requires a living host to replicate viral particles. Hepatitis B consists of a nucleic acid core, a protein coat, and a lipid envelope. The hepatitis B virus contains a partially double-stranded DNA within the nucleic acid core because one of the full-length strands is linked to the viral…

During the Dred Scott decision the U.S. Supreme court was justified that slaves could not claim U.S. citizenship, however Chief Justice Roger B supported Dred Scott. The U.S. Supreme…

The reason that the Battle of Antietam is important is due to the fact that it had a large impact on the nation’s future. While for the Confederacy, it was a disappointment and cause of great frustration because the chance they had had to win the war was lost. The victory that the Union army had achieved provided Lincoln with the opportunity to issue the Emancipation Proclamation and broaden the main concern of the war from the unity of the nation to include the abolishment of slavery. The…
