REASON CHIEF COMPLAINT: History of stage IIC pure seminoma status post four cycles of etoposide and cisplatin. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS Mr. Sandoval is a very pleasant 22-year-old gentleman who presents to the oncology clinic for stage IIC pure seminoma status post four cycles of etoposide and cisplatin. The patient presented in 09/2016 with a 10-month history of enlarging right testicular mass and pain. In 09/14/2016, he was sent for ultrasound which revealed a 6.8 x 5.5 x 5.5 cm right…

They state investigations should include “alterations in maximal heart rate and maximal stroke volume, hemoglobin levels and endothelial function, and skeletal muscle characteristics” (Farrell & Willis, 2012). These variables could provide answers and understanding of how serum vitamin D affects the cardiorespiratory system. Such as, there is a possibility…

acids, must be ingested in order to make new proteins (Lions Talk Science, 2015). Proteins have several cellular functions; such as, altering rates of metabolic reactions with the presence of enzymes, movement of materials in cells or body with hemoglobin, they are also structural proteins like keratin, helps blood clotting with fibrin, and make up bones, skin, tendons, ligaments with collagen. In contrast, fats and carbohydrates, which are chiefly composed of carbon and hydrogen, all proteins…

Measuring Brain Activity to Reconstruct Visual Experiences The principle of perpetual evidence states that brain activity is not random, and that the processes we use in mental visualizations are used in visual perception as well. The firing of neurons that occurs when one imagines shooting a free throw are the same neurons that fire when actually doing so. The fact that brain activity is complex and calculated has helped scientists see how the brain functions, and what areas are associated with…

• With advanced technology, many incurable diseases in the past become curable nowadays. However, have you ever imagined that we can get rid of genetic disorders one day? This is no longer a pipe dream. CRISPR/Cas9 is bringing us light. • Genetic disorders are not only limited to those rare ones e.g. Down Syndrome—a genetic disorder associated with characteristic facial features, physical growth delays, and mental retardation. According to Melissa Conrad Stöppler, a U.S. anatomic pathologist,…

The Benefits of Tamarind Keywords: tamarind medicinal benefits health The tamarind tree is a large tree that is found in abundance in the continents of Asia, Africa, and South America.

Tamarind is also used as an emulsifying agent in syrups, decoctions, and pharmaceuticals. Do you know that the common tamarind tree that…

Non-invasive dissolvable sensors were developed that can continuously track a wide variety of physiological metrics, including heart rhythm, blood pressure, respiratory rate, the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin, blood glucose concentrations, brain waves, even integrated with rehabilitation. (Topol, 2010). High health care costs are associated to patients not taking their medication. These digestible sensors along with wearable wireless sensors can transmit…

bacteria, by a process called endosynbiosis. It has an outer and inner membrane structure. The mitochondrion has an “oblong” oval type shape found in both animal and plant cells. Some cells don’t contain a true mitochondria in which are replaced by hemoglobin cells, like the red blood cells. The mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration which in turns gives the cell that steam power to keep it alive. The mitochondria seem to have the ability to produce its own proteins as well as its very…

the amount of blood supplied to the fetus and the reserves for blood lost during child birth. Vitamin C is needed in order for the body to absorb iron. There are many dietary choices high in Vitamin C and iron to supplement such deficiencies. Hemoglobin levels less than 10.5g/dL can predict anemia. Blood glucose levels are monitored during pregnancy and more so in diabetic mothers. A blood glucose level below 60 can indicate hypoglycemia and cause weakness, headaches, blurred vision, faintness…

The value of the proteins, fats and carbohydrates for the body It is well established that the human body is composed of 19.6% of the protein, 14.7% - from fats, 1% - of carbohydrates and 4.9% - mineral substances. The remaining 59.8% are the water. Maintaining the normal life of the body depends on the ratio of essential nutrients, healthy diet requires the presence of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in a ratio of 1: 3: 5. Proteins Proteins are the main building material of our body, beside…
