Skin A third-degree skin burn extends through the entire epidermis, dermis and hypodermis, but leaves the underlying muscle and bone tissue in a functional state. Skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis is ectodermal in origin. It is relatively void of ECM except for the basal membrane and has a distinctive keratinized layer produced by keratinocytes. Other artifacts of the epidermis include melanocytes, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat…

Preoperative evaluation Cardiac surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting and surgery for valvular disease, represents one of the most common classes of surgical procedures performed worldwide. Advances in the percutaneous management of coronary artery disease as well as in cardiac surgical techniques have led to improved outcomes with consequent longer life expectancy for patients. Greater numbers of patients with depressed left ventricular function, multiple comorbidities, failed…

American population is aging; today there are 38 million people 65 years of age or older, with the number projected to double by 2030 ( ). Epidemiological studies have shown that cholesterol levels, diabetes, hypertension, sedentary life and genetics as the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. However, advance aging unequivocally confers the major risks. Cardiovascular disease refers to a range of diseases that affect the heart and the blood vessels. Among the common ones are…

Imagine you’re at that point in life where you’re ready to start a family, but it’s not working. You go to the doctor and are told it’s because of infertility. Infertility is a disease that results in the abnormal functioning of the reproductive system affecting about 1 in 8 couples age fifteen to forty- four (Fast Facts about Infertility). This is about six percent of women and eighteen percent of men (Infertility FAQs). Infertility can come from the male or female and can be caused by a…

In “IVF: The Simple Case” an infertile married couple use IVF to create embryos which are implanted into the wife’s womb. The ethics of this technology is called into question by Singer who examines the seven objections to IVF. This paper will focus on the objection that IVF is a frivolous luxury (Singer, 1987, p. 412-13). I will argue that IVF is not a frivolous luxury, couples have a right to reproduction and IVF is simply a method to combat infertility. IVF is short for in vitro…

It is no secret that we are on the verge of making both technological and biological progress. Imagine a scenario in which you were fighting for your country or perhaps your family and unfortunately you lost your arm, your leg, or even part of your face. Today, we see these losses as needing a prosthetic, which is a device that is made from plastic or metal that takes the place of the body part that was lost in order for you to maintain a proper functionality within society. I think a better…

Through one of the ways of knowing, physiology, we can prove out existence on earth. We are living humans and we do need certain things to survive. We became the way we are, of course through God, but, speaking more scientifically, though the implantation of the sperm within the female uterus. This concept mirrors back to us what we believe to be true, it shows us how this belief came to be and how the belief that was once suspected is proven. Referring to different…

Regina Soliz AIS 1203 10/26/2017 Section OR3 Interview with Joe B. Castellano I recently had the opportunity to speak with orthodontist Joe B. Castellano about his career and his pathway to success.

We also discussed his education, his plans on the dental…

The one-room schoolhouse is a phenomenon impacting today’s modern school system. Historic schooling required the teacher to be in complete control over their student’s educational experiences. Curriculum design, instructional implantation, and classroom management were the sole responsibility of the classroom teacher. Opportunities to collaborate, problem solve, retain essential feedback from other individuals in the field of education was minimal. Unfortunately, this type of educational…
