Deficiency judgment

Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is caused by mutations in the serpina1 gene on chromosome 14. The serpina1 gene codes for the Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) enzyme which is a protein that protects the lungs, and is made in the liver.This deficiency occurs when there is a lack of a protein in the blood called alpha-1 antitrypsin. Without the protection of this protein, the lungs are more sepetable to be attacked by neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is an enzyme…

You can only get it if your parents have the allele. The main problem is that ATTD makes a person at risk for lung and liver damage. With ATTD the protein Alpha-1 Antirpsin is in shortage. This is a protein that protects the lungs in the body. The deficiency causes some of the proteins to get stuck in the liver ("Learning about Alpha-1 Antitrypsin").This means that they cannot reach the lungs to protect. Other symptoms of AATD are jaundice and swelling of the abdomen. Jaundice is a sign of liver…

When I think of the 1980s, I think of a decade that produced exceptional music, entertaining television, and some great films that are still praised and relevant in today’s hard-to-impress society. About 35 years ago, films with short cinematic plots and cutting-edge cinematic effects started to gain popularity in the film industry, because they were easily marketable to a broad audience. Many popular films of the ‘80s were also violent, leading to concerns over which films were appropriate for…

The 1991 science fiction action film, Terminator 2: Judgement Day vastly explores a small rift in time (1995) just years before the world becomes a destructive place where technology has greatly evolved, to the point of exterminating humans, via the form of an AI(artificial intelligence) system called Skynet. However the dark future of Skynet is tied up to the present day via form of time travel, as the AI sends a Terminator back in to the current time set in Terminator 2 (T2) to kill John…

Survival of the Sickest Analysis In Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, Darwin suggests that those organisms that possess certain characteristics that give them an advantage over other organisms, are to be more likely to survive and pass on their traits to other organisms of their species through reproduction. Thus, through evolution, all life on earth is bound to only get stronger and improve its chances of survival - or be…

Have you ever wondered why you are more susceptible to a cold than a classmate who may be of a different race? It may be a result of natural selection as it impacts people living in certain countries, making them able to withstand weather or deadly diseases in their environment. However, all good things come at a cost. In Survival of the Sickest, Dr. Sharon Moalem explains that certain diseases that might affect people later in life have actually guided human evolution, enabling the species to…

pubertal development. Aim of the work: This study aimed to evaluate growth and pubertal changes in children with CAH. Also, to consider the idiopathic central precocious puberty. Patients and Methods: Thirty three patients with classic 21 hydroxylase deficiency (14 SW and 19 SV CAH) enrolled in the study. They were assessed and followed up for growth and developmental characteristics .All patients were karyotyped and sex was determined,…

Before getting into the case, there is an important statement made in the headnote. It states the definition of income; which is the compensation for services-distinguished from gift-retirement or resignation-relationship of specific services. Whether that income is taxable is left for question. The case is concerning the provision of the Internal Revenue Code, that excludes from gross income the value acquired by a gift. The facts of the case are as follows. Duberstein was the head of the…

procedure of trying to explain and detail false judgment, Socrates offers two puzzles, the knowing and not knowing puzzle and the being and non-being puzzle, “now isn’t it true about all things, together or individually, that we must either know them or not know them? I am ignoring for the moment the intermediate conditions of learning and forgetting, as they don’t affect the argument here” (Theaetetus, 188a). These puzzles supposedly show that false judgment is impossible and then dismisses…
