Natalie Lampson Science of Women’s Bodies October 30, 2014 Genetic Testing Technology is highly intertwined with our lives today. There is almost no part of our lives that doesn’t use technology in one manner or another. With this being true, it seems a natural step to include technology into our healthcare. Today there are many uses for genetic testing, and it is predicted that there will be many more uses as time goes on and science improves. But along with the positives of genetic testing, it…

HIPAA is a very important act, these rules protect you, your physician, nurse, practice, family, bosses, etc. The privacy of your personal information is very important and anyone who reviles any of your information without your approval they will have committed a violation and there will be penalties for them to face. “Health information means any information, whether oral or recorded in any form or medium that is received by any healthcare provider, school, employer.

PDAC biomarker identification and validation. Biomarkers in ex vivo expanded CTCs will be recognized by stringent statistical analysis and subjected to further characterization in three studies. First, we will confirm the association of biomarkers with CTCs and CTC-PDX models. Second, the biomarkers will be validated for correlation with clinical PDAC metastasis and therapeutic resistance. Finally, we will retrospectively test the application of selected biomarkers in PDAC diagnosis, treatment…

Throughout the course of the evolutionary history of species there are many morphological and phenotypical aspects of each species that either are common and shared, or a species diverges and new aspects can then be observed. One morphological feature that is observed in most fauna is the development of limbs; however, one species that is known to lack limb development is the snake species so that paper published by Kvon et al, investigates and tries to subside the debate over whether the…

There are significant differences between the bases in DNA humans and chimpanzees have. With the genetics of both species, there also could be mutations which mean that there could be some deletions or even cancellations which could cause the DNA to be different. So in reality with only a 2% difference in our DNA could lead to millions of differences in our DNA which may seem like a lot, but it is really not. There is more research that still…

Tuesday’s with Morrie: Read the Book One of the longest held debates with generation Xer’s is, “The book or the movie, which is better?” Ask any person who loves to read and they will undoubtedly say the book is always better, citing that it gives more detail and explanation to characters and events. But, ask any avid movie-goer, and they will usually say the movie is always better. The movie can bring characters to life and evoke emotion through facial expressions and music. In the case of…

American Sovereignty in the 21st Century The Declaration of Independence makes the agreement, “That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance” (Jefferson 265). Thusly the Declaration of Independence is consider by most to be the foundational statement of national sovereignty by The Thirteen American colonies and now the United States. The Declaration of Independence is a formal statement by the thirteen American…

1. In your own words, define what is a mutation? Abnormal inherited or acquired permeant alteration in the sequences of the nucleotides of the deoxyribonucleic acid of an organism may or may not change organism phenotype, it occurs with a frequency of less than1% among a population. 2. Are mutations bad or good for you? Justify your answer in either case Mutations could be good, bad, or may have little or no effect. Beneficial mutations: Some mutations if they happen they have a positive…

1. What is the problem? What were the underlying causes of this problem? The problem was that SFO airport had compromised security with their existing credentialing system and physical identity & access management system (PIAM). Increase in low cost airlines and other vendors resulted in surge of passengers and SFO did not have the infrastructure to accommodate such a surge, without undertaking significant adjustments and resulting in a proposal of reopening the Terminal 2. It was vital that a…
