Division I

Dear minister of health, Incase you haven’t known (which you might have, unless it was buried under a big pile of letters), stem cells are the new medical “it thing”. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate/change into specialized cells and can divide to produce more stem cells. Even though they are unspecialized, stem cells can develop into specialized cells. Stem cells can make up to 220 different cells in the human body, they also have the capability to self renew.…

I’m sure some of you have had a friend or family member who has passed as the result of an incurable disease. Stem cells have the remarkable medical potential to cure a myriad of degenerative diseases. According to Rosemary Tong, a biomedical ethicist, stem cell research has the potential to develop treatment for 58 million Americans with heart disease, 82 million with cancer, 4 million with Alzheimer’s disease, along with many others. A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that is capable of…

“Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.” This quote by Jim Ramstad is about the benefits of Embryonic Stem Cell Research. “Stem cells provide an opportunity to investigate the mechanisms that regulate embryonic development, cellular differentiation, and organ maintenance” (Ramalho-Santos and Willenbring 35-38). Embryonic stem cell research has been around for many years. It has proven to be very beneficial to the medical world,…

Imagine that your dear old grandmother has a terrible disease and could possibly die, but there is a new treatment that could save your grandma's life or your blind best friend that cannot see, yet has the opportunity to see with the new treatment, would not that make them and yourself happy? Well the treatment that would save your grandmas life and friends’ vision is called stem cell research and it can not only save people's life, it can also fight illnesses, harmful diseases, replace failing…

Over the course of many centuries, scientific study and research has seen significant advancements, especially when it comes to the study of the human body. One of the major developments is embryonic stem cell research which involves the use of cells from early stage embryos. These cells are important because they have yet to mature and therefore are able to evolve into any type of cell found in the human body. Through the use of embryonic stem cell research, scientists may be enabled to learn…

The Importance of Organizing in Health Care Management A number of major principles exist to support the framework for the formal organization theory, one being authority as an essential principle (Dunn, 2010). Authority can be described as a way of getting the job done by having the right to direct others and give orders (Dunn, 2010). Another primary principle is the span of management also known as the span of control (Dunn, 2010). This principle is defined as boundaries set on the number…

Creating a customer value through employee is one Maple Leaf Foods top priority, brands and food safety competencies, production and distribution network nationwide. Being a customer driven company, Maple Leaf Foods generates product innovation and growth in the food…

Charts were created from a cumulated pool of planarian research. Dead and missing planaria were not included in the data pool. Discussion: After undergoing the regeneration process Planaria had varying responses. This study concluded that the majority of planaria retain the learning process after regeneration, this statement is especially relevant in the head regenerated planaria. Before the experiment, a hypothesis was made that the head end would retain the classical conditioning and the tail…

Stem cells are cells that have the ability to divide indefinitely in a culture and give rise to specialized cells. They can be harvested from human embryos and it is therein the controversy lies. The morality of the process is called into question because there is a divide between people who think that life begins at fertilization and people who think that life begins at birth. This paper will delve into the details of embryonic stem cell research as well as argue that, while some disagreement…

Scientists began to research and study stem cells when they found what they could do in salamanders; because salamanders have the ability to regenerate their tails after being ripped off, scientists thought that maybe the same regenerating tissue ( stem cells ) could be used in humans as well. This means injuries, such as fractures, can be fixed by placing these cells to the site of the injury. The stem cells build themselves up and fix the break by regeneration and multiplying; the damaged…
