Inferiority complex

institutions have on our government today, has been called and described as the Prison Industrial Complex. This term which was derived from the MIlitary Industrial Complex, is used to describe the interest of government and the private prison industry that use policing, and imprisonment as solutions that are, in actuality, economically, socially, and politically problematic. The Prison Industrial Complex attributes the quick expansion of the US prisoner population to the political influence of…

MISSISSIPPIAN BURIAL PRACTICES: Mississippian Burial Practices and How Various Society’s Burial Practices Differ and Relate At the first description of the Mississippian cultures, specifically the Cahokian, my interest with these people grew. In both lectures from this course and my world civilizations course, descriptions of these people varied in terms of focus, but nevertheless caught my attention. And while my experience with North American cultures has been limited up until now, I am…

The etiology and pathogenesis of RA are complex and multifaceted. A range of predetermined (genes) and stochastic (random events and environment) factors contribute to susceptibility and pathogenesis.(kelly). The initiation of RA probably begins years before the onset of clinical symptoms. This process involves certain specific genes that can help break tolerance and lead to autoreactivity. It is likely that the earliest phases are marked by repeated activation of innate immunity Cigarette smoke…

A 1995 study conducted by Swiss zoologist Claus Wedekind found that, when asked to choose between T-shirts with different body odors, women tended to prefer those of men with certain genes dissimilar from their own (cite mult sources that mention). From this “smelly T-shirt experiment” arose the process of genetic matchmaking, in which comparisons of two individuals’ specific genes in an effort to determine romantic compatibility (cite source), known as MHC genes (cite mult. sources). Multiple…

also can carry antigenic peptides for cross-priming. Various number of bacteria can upregulate chemokines such as MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and RANTES across binding to CD40. The interactions of Hsp-70-peptide-CD40 can lead to the uptake of the Hsp70-peptide complex, then it will display the loaded peptide on MHC class I or II as a result. Structure and molecular characteristics of CD40 CD40 is a 43-48 kDa glycoprotein; it is consisted of 277 amino acid residues. It is a member of (TNFR) family, which…

Dr. Kappler and his wife performed an experiment to determine why the immune system tolerates self-antigens. They began trying to make some reagents that would allow them to better study the structure of a T cell receptor. While conducting their study on mice, they found that there were some mice that had the gene for a particular component called V beta 17. Dr. Kappler and his wife numbered these beta components accordingly. Some mice had the v beta 17, while others did not have the gene. This…

knee for the first time. What is more difficult is for him/ her to imagine that pain as constant, multiplied on large scale, and not knowing what causes the pain. Unfortunately, patients with CRPS know this experience as one knows their own name. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is ranked as the most severe form of chronic pain that exists today by the McGill Pain Index. Knowing this leads to the desire for a simple goal: discover the…

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic (lasting greater than six months) pain condition that most often affects one limb (arm, leg, hand, or foot). CRPS is believed to be caused by damage to, or malfunction of, the peripheral and central nervous systems. CRPS is divided into two types: CRPS-I and CRPS-II. Individuals without a confirmed nerve injury are classified as having CRPS-I (previously known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome). CRPS-II (previously known as…

of the particular recommendation. Also, the end of the report listed an overall risk and benefits section for all of their recommendations. The obvious potential benefits listed is, “optimal medical and functional outcomes for injured workers with complex regional pain syndrome/reflex sympathetic dystrophy” (article). An advisory panel, task force members, clinical experts, and other professionals including risk managers, case managers, and insurers were included in reviewing this CPG prior to…

I Don’t Know What It’s Like To Be Pain Free I interviewed Jerry, my father-in-law, a 50 year old, Caucasian male, in his home in Bonnerdale, Arkansas, on Sunday, November 6, 2016. He is in a committed relationship with his first wife, Connie, and has four children and two grandchildren. He is a homeowner, a Christian, and is self-employed. Jerry is comfortable answering my questions and he responds well to them, although he is clearly tired. Jerry was the electric maintenance supervisor for…
