Lwin Moe Aung 27 November 2016 Mrs. Oberlin/Mrs. Meneely BioLit 3-4 Animal Testing “The question is not, can they reason? Nor, can they talk? but, can they suffer?" A quote from English philosopher Jeremy Bentham, we can ask the same question when referring to animal testing. Over the decades, animal testing has been used worldwide, and although it may have led to medical breakthroughs, at what expense does it have to the animals? That’s why using animals in research should be banned…
Is the death penalty an accurate illustration of American culture? Many would argue that the death penalty is an acceptable punishment for criminals, while others say that it is an inhumane way to treat someone, even a convicted felon. One of the major arguments against the death penalty is the fact that it is a direct violation of human rights. It is believed by many that just because someone commits a crime doesn’t make them any less human than someone else. And because of that their right to…
Similarly, Bilbrey et al. (1973) note that the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation more accurately predicts membrane potential as compared to the Nernst equation. Though the membrane functions principally as a potassium electrode, the Nernst equation does not account for the slight, but significant, permeability of the membrane to sodium ions (Bilbrey et al. 1973, 3011). In their study of the effects of potassium deficiency on skeletal muscle membrane function, the authors…
According to Comer, depression is a clinical disorder that causes considerable distress and impairment and features a range of symptoms, including emotional, motivational, behavioral, cognitive, and physical symptoms. Nevertheless, the picture of depression may vary greatly from person to person. Depression differs from sadness, in that sadness is context-specific, is proportional to the triggering loss, and ends when the loss situation ends (Comer, 2015). Due to the fact that the biological…
plastic industry was at boom in the United States.4After around two decades, phosphenes were observed on electrical simulation of visual cortex via implanted electrodes.13A design was proposed in 1970 where the prosthesis could be worn with rechargeable batteries and circuits can be implanted in the cranium, connected with an array of electrodes inserted in the visual cortex. With this method a blind person was able to vie the flashes of images, when the electrical signals were translated to the…
as a solid because they don’t have mobile particles. Due to the fact it’s a solid, the particles are stuck together, shaking in place and don’t have the ability to move in one general direction. The ions are unable to come into contact with the electrodes of the probe. Ionic compounds are soluble in water. The H20 breaks apart the ions, the H20 goes between the ions, and the H20 and ions roll around freely. Based on the ions ability to dissolve in water we know that, ionic compounds can conduct…
Do you or someone you know have heart arrhythmia or also commonly known as an irregular heartbeat. Heart arrhythmia can be a very serious disease based on the way you live your life day to day and what goes into body everyday. If a person has a heart arrhythmia, he should study the causes, preventions and cures in order to lead the healthiest lifestyle possible. Have you ever heard of heart arrhythmia?

alarms, and inappropriately adjusting alarms typically occurs (Stokowski, 2014). Many alarm management strategies have been recommended to decrease nuisance alarms and allow nurses to tailor alarm parameters. The first recommendation is daily electrode changes with proper skin preparation by elimination of hair from the application site, abrading the skin, cleaning with soap and water, and drying the skin completely (AACN, 2013). A study done on two adult acute care units utilized the above…
What is the SCA? What Can Cause your heart to stop beating? We hear a lot about heart disease and its causes that considered from our wrong daily habits. Most of them can be treated and coexist with, but there is a disease that affects the heart and makes it stop pumping blood through the body without any introductions or previous symptoms which would lead to the death of the injured person on the spot. This disease, known as sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) • What is the sudden cardiac arrest?…
