Too Close For Comfort: A Social Experiment Although we like to think that we as individuals are unique in our own ways, we are in fact not that special. A vast majority of society are followers. We conform to certain standards that have subconsciously been instituted. We consider these standards, “the norm.” According to M.I.T University, they define norms as, “Concepts and behaviors that constitute the normal. [...] These often derive from values but also contradict values; sometimes…

After my father died, mom and I moved in with a guy named John. Who later had my brother Tyler with my mom. He had a son named William who is also my second cousin because my mom is related to John’s first wife. We called him J.J. I’m not going too far into this, just filling in some spaces. During my 8 years in this house I was abused in a number of ways, considered a second class child, and as well as having a bad father figure, I seemed to have no mother. She was never there until the day we…

Exercise Physiology It has long been thought that strenuous or prolonged exercise can affect the human’s endocrine system. This is an interesting scenario because endocrine system synthase performs as a negative feedback system. This means that when there is an unusually high level of a hormone in the blood, a signal will be sent back and production of that particular hormone will be stopped. The negative feedback system can easily keep all hormones levels at the optimal level for humans.…

The repair of dental caries is one of the most frequent procedures performed in the dental office. Even patients that regularly visit the dentist and receive routine cleanings are likely at some point to require a repair of dental caries or fillings. It is estimated that caries affect 60 to 90% of school children, the majority of adults, and their repair occupies most of a dentist’s time.1, 2 The management of caries is relatively standardized across dental offices. It involves making an…

The first receptor I will be doing is the Somatostatin receptor there is so much behind this receptor. Somatostatin (SST), otherwise called somatotropin discharge restraining variable (SRIF), is a hypothalamic hormone, a pancreatic hormone, and a focal and fringe neurotransmitter. Somatostatin has a wide conveyance all through the focal sensory system (CNS) and also in fringe tissues, for instance in the pituitary, pancreas and stomach. The different activities of somatostatin are intervened by…

still unclear, it is hypothesized that the drug has some positive effects on the growth plate. When combined with GnRH antagonist, it has been seen to improve adult height, when compared to just GnRH alone. Also, when GnRH antagonist and growth hormone (GH) are combined and used for treatment, improvement in adult height has been noted (Chen 2015). Another form of treatment is the use of aromatase inhibitors. Aromatase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction from androgens to estrogens. These…

men as they age; only 20% of men experiences lower levels of testosterone after the age of 60 (Bjorklund, 2015). In addition to sex hormones, there are other hormones that are associated with aging. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and growth hormone (GH) are two hormones that make a decline with age and contribute to primary aging. There have been some animal studies that show a protective effect by replacing these hormones and even reverse some aging. However, these results have not been…

Using the Iceberg concept of culture, culture is commonly divided into 2 categories: surface culture and deep culture. Deep culture, just like an iceberg where the majority of the ice is found below sea level, is the majority of culture. To lay down the difference between those 2 in the simplest of terms, deep culture consists of beliefs, values, assumptions, and thought processes which are much harder to detect and identify, while surface culture, on the other hand, consists of behaviours,…

a result of exposure to unhealthy surrounding. A person grows, but there are cases where growing exceeds the normal rate and reaches to extreme compare to other people. This occurrence is called acromegaly, in which the secretion of growth hormone (GH) in the pituitary gland exceeds its normal production even after the growth plates in the body has closed already. Thus, making structures and bones that are still responsive to growth hormone particularly in the hands, feet and face to overgrow…
