Implantation

shown even greater promise in creating a potential replacement for diseased kidneys. Decellularized kidneys provide a functional structure with the same ECM contained within the body. Stem cells can be injected directly into this scaffold and the implantation of these into rat subjects has shown complete acceptance and function of the replaced kidney. Biopolymer scaffolds seeded with ECM cells and stem cells has been shown to be effective in recreating portions of organs and successfully…

Microchips are smaller than regular sized chips and typically can do the same amount of work, if not more. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a regular chip is “a small wafer of semiconductor material that forms the base for an integrated circuit.” (dictionary) Although microchips seem like a better way to go, there are a few minor complications in this idea, such as the complexity of the circuits, the cost of the materials to make produce it and the function that is required of this…

When students are identified as no longer needing intensive intervention from tier 2 because of adequate response, they can move back to tier 1. (Stecker, 2007). Research by Stecker (2007) also supports that these students are still monitored and may have to move back to tier 2 if they show slow gains in academic achievement. Educators make decisions about whether a students should move back to tier 1 or move on to tier 3 based on examination of progress monitoring and other data at the end of…

The inner cell mass will continue to develop the embryo, and the trophoblast will eventually become part of the placenta, providing nutrients, waste removal, and oxygen to the embryo. However, the blastocyst first attaches to the uterus, called implantation, before the trophoblast becomes part of the placenta.…

complications and pose several risks for both the mother and her baby. For the woman, induced labor either medical or non-medical may increase the risks for postpartum hemorrhages. This increases the risk for blood transfusion, hysterectomy, placenta implantation abnormalities in future pregnancies, a longer hospital stay, further hospital re-admissions, and even death (Non-Medically Indicated Induction and Augmentation of Labor, 2014). It has also been found that babies born early-term are more…

Diseases affecting posterior segment of the eye, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.1, 2 The number of people living with macular degeneration is expected to reach 196 million worldwide by 2020 and increase to 288 million by 2040.3 In Germany, approximately 35,000 cases of neovascular AMD occur annually. The neovascular form of AMD (NV-AMD) is particularly responsible for the severe vision loss in 90% of the cases.4 The major…

Across the world, speech language pathology is an extremely well-known and significant profession. Many people study the work that speech pathologists do and write about it in academic journals or for those who are working to make progress in the field. Tanya Serry wrote one significant journal about the evolving field of speech language pathology and named it The Ongoing Evolution of Speech Language Pathology: Broadening the Lens of Clinical Practice. In this article, Serry discusses the future…

PARKINSON’S DISEASE Parkinson’s is a neurological disease that carries an onset of chronic and progressive movement disorder. Meaning the results produced by Parkinson’s will continue and worsen throughout time. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (2014) have verified that, there are no known causes of Parkinson’s disease, researchers and scientists have accumulated statistics that leads to genetics and environmental factors that affect Parkinson’s disease. Such as,…

Introduction An intrauterine device (IUD) is a medical device that gets inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is a small, T-shaped device that has one or two nylon strings hanging down from it. The strings hang out of the lower part of the uterus (cervix) to allow for future IUD removal. There are two types of IUDs available: Copper IUD. This type of IUD has copper wire wrapped around it. A copper IUD may last up to 10 years. Hormone IUD. This type of IUD is made of plastic and…
