could hurt animals and it can possibly kill them. If scientist do the testing to animals the spinal devices are frequently composed of pedicle screws with a reputation for stable fixation. The animals can suffer from pullouts during preclinical implantation on young animals, leading to high morbidity. Human and animals are very different, which testing human tools on animals should not be allowed. Testing on an animal the results will be very different from testing on an human. Pre-clinical…

In this day and age, the newest and greatest technological advancement is something to be desired. Whether it be the iPhone 12, the car that runs on water, or the holograph-projecting wrist watch, we are a society that craves status by technology. Though we are aware of the progress in certain fields of technology such as communication, transportation, and healthcare, there are new advancements that could alter the course of human evolution as we know it. The study of genetics first began in…

Osteomyelitis, or inflammation of the bone caused by infecting microorganism, remains one of the most challenging clinical problems among providers. Multi-specialty involvement, including but not limited to the Vascular surgery, Foot and Ankle surgery, and Infectious disease services, reduces mortality from osteomyelitis.

From that standpoint, they are easily programmed and relatively…

Korgun et al. 2012). The physiological effects of glucocorticoids occur when the hormone are bind to, and mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor (Erhuma 2012). It plays a wide range of vital physiological roles that are necessary for healthy implantation and pregnancy processes (Korgun et al. 2012). As glucocorticoids are critical in the regulation of the metabolic, cardiovascular, and the immune system (Drake, Tang & Nyirenda 2007; Manojlović-Stojanoski, Nestorović & Milošević 2012), excess…

A miracle even, to be able to restore a missing sense. To others, this device holds a threat to the demise of a culture that strictly celebrates and is centered on…
