Homework 4 Elaine Le Hawaii Pacific University Part A: Textbook p293 Exercises 9.4 Consider the interrupt that occurs at the completion of a disk transfer. a. Direct memory access (DMA) is an alternative method that avoids the use of the CPU by allowing direct data transfers between memory and I/O devices or peripherals. Once the data is transferred the CPU is notified of the transfer completion and able to resume access of the main memory. It is able to do this with interrupts; are signals…

The Human Gene Therapy was introduced several decades ago; it is a procedure that is being created to cure individual patient suffering from any kind of genetic diseases, also consider as a logical and straightforward solution towards the genetic disorder in a human (Kolehmainen par. 1). For example, Gene Therapy shows how genetic component of cells gain therapeutic benefits by repairing the damaged or defective genetic material or DNA, in a living cell. Gene Therapy in human first takes place…

situations where the white blood cells try to fight it off and that causes an infection. Cloning could eliminate the rejection in transplants. Scientists affirm that they’ll be able to cure nerve, cardiovascular, and blood diseases in the body (Ballaro and Sprague 1). Those diseases range from Alzheimer’s to Parkinson’s to diabetes (Rugnetta). They also believe that stem cell research would give them an advancement in the understanding of cells and how they react to cancer, thus helping with…

emptying time to severe nausea, vomiting loss of appetite, malnutrition needs a frequent administration in hospital 1,2 and poor quality of life. The pathophysiologic cause of developing this disease still not clearly understand aside from associated with vagus nerve is damaged.

Brody explains in her article what not to say to a cancer patient, such as how are you? This is asked different from someone on the street to a cancer patient. There words are often not helpful, but harmful. They do not want to be reminded of their disease and so sometimes, that type of question can be intrusive and sometimes can tie your tongue and family do not know what to say.

In the medical profession there is some debate about what is considered dead, mostly when considering organ donors. As for now the legal standard of death is to die and be pronounced deceased or…

indicator of whether or not they will develop the disease gene is rarely a guarantee that a person will develop that disease. “Most genetic diseases result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Diseases caused by a single gene, such as Huntington’s disease and cystic fibrosis, are less common than diseases caused by multiple factors, such as breast cancer and heart disease” (Genetic Testing 5). The chances of getting rid of a disease by using genetic testing is actually not a…

and they very rarely die of Zika. Thus, for this reason, many people might not realize they have acquired the infection. The good news is that once a person has been infected, he or she is likely to be protected from future infections by developing disease-related specific antibodies. Zika virus was first discovered in 1947 in rhesus monkeys through a monitoring network of sylvatic yellow fever and is named after the Zika forest in Uganda. In 1952, the first human cases of Zika were…
