All good things must come to an end…or so they say. Of course, James Bond apparently never got that memo – you know, because he seems to get younger and more ambitious with each passing decade. With that said, it’s impossible not to admire the fan base and longevity that this character has built for itself, stemming back to the 1950s. At the same time, it’s also terribly difficult not to admire the stylistic swagger that the current Bond, Daniel Craig, has brought to the ever-growing…

Henry Edward Good, My name. It’s what makes me significant , it’s what makes everyone significant. Without names you would probably be called by numbers, and I don’t want to be called 6,023,937,484! Also if everyone had to call people this I have a feeling the Universe will collapse. Henry, meaning High spirited, will do anything once. I think this is definitely coincidental because when my parents named me this they had no idea what it meant and I think I live up to it because whenever there is…

In “Scarliotti and the Sinkhole” by Padgett Powell, we are introduce to an egocentric and often crude man, who while recovering from an accident, is convinced that his trailer home is in danger of being consumed by a giant sinkhole. The main character Rod has contrived an alter-ego by the name of “Scarliotti”. Scarliotti and Rod are polar opposites of each other. In the main character’s mind, Rod is a “joke”, but Scarliotti is cool and is a man who can be respected. Rod often fantasizes about…

Considering muscular stem cells are in close relations with your standard cells, it is important to examine what their jobs are and how they go about repairing muscle tissue. Some notable matters that should be recognized when studying stem cells are the possible diseases and disorders that may come from them being…

Arrhythmia (abnormal heart beat). There are different types of Arrhythmia, and they include Premature atrial contractions, theses are extra heartbeats that happen in the atria (upper chamber of the heart). These contractions usually do not cause harm and don’t require treatment. Another one is Atrial fibrillation, it’s a heart rhythm that causes the atria to contract abnormally. Multiple things such as coronary artery disease, heart attack injury, and electrolyte imbalances in your blood can…

specific metabolites like AMP, H+, and K+. Consequently, an increase in blood flow accords with a higher cardiac output that is determined by heart rate and stroke volume. At high work rate, cardiac output (amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute) composed by the product of stroke volume (amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle per beat) and heart rate can reach up to 90% of theoretical maximum value as well as having moderate to high increases in blood pressure. (Burton et al.,…

cause extreme internal bleeding in the abdomen. Nandrolone can also decrease HDL, which is good cholesterol, and increase LDL which is the bad. Since the ratio for LDL will be higher than HDL, this will increase the risk of arteriosclerosis and other heart diseases. Wild mood swings may also occur which is commonly known as “steroid rage”. Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and it is used to increase growth in children and adolescents. This hormone is widely found in a number of…

occur and the blood that leaves the lungs is now oxygenated and can be transported to the systemic circulation after traveling back through the heart and leaving the left ventricle. Within the systemic circulation, oxygenated blood is not only transported systemically, but wastes are removed from tissues and then returned to the right side of the heart for the pulmonary circulation to start its cycle again. In the pulmonary and systemic circulation systems, there are different types of blood…

The congenital heart defect Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) while uncommon is treatable and will allow patients to live semi-normal lives. The most important part is early diagnosis so that treatment can be done in an orderly manner. While this is a disease that someone is born with it evolves into a chronic health threat requires constant observation and treatment. It is best managed most effectively by a group of Pediatric Cardiologists. Most children are treated by a team of Pediatric…

Coronary artery disease (CAD; also more simply referred to as coronary heart disease) is a specific type of atherosclerosis, which is in turn a form of arteriosclerosis (Dulson, Fraser, LeDrew, & Vavitas, 2011). All of these medical conditions entail the same problem, which hinders proper blood flow of oxygenated blood in the arteries: the sclerosis (that is, hardening) of arteries in the circulatory system (Sclerosis [medicine], 2016). Arteriosclerosis is a general term used to describe the…
