wound or injury. Where someone who has a minor cut can profusely bleed, and it can get so bad that it could end up making them sick. There are two types of hemophilia, Type A and Type B. Type A: Is the most common type, it is caused by lacking Factor VII, which is one of the proteins to help blood form clots. Type B is caused by lacking Factor IX. Hemophilia is normally diagnosed at birth, it can still be found later in life if your body begins to produce antibodies that attack and destroy…

day, and 5 mg were increased every two weeks up to 40 mg. Researchers started with a dose of 20 mg per day because it is recommended a similar dose or less to prevent risk of QT prolongation, which is a heart rhythm disorder (Drugs.com, n.d). Group B received one session of CBT per day every other day with the same psychotherapist during the complete experiment to avoid any differences within the psychotherapists. Lastly, group C was the group receiving both types of treatments. This group…

fusing its glycoprotein from the envelop with the cell membrane, and releasing its tegument and DNA into the cell[2]. When CMV infect cells, a formation of distinctive inclusion called “owl’s eyes” can be observed through microscopy[1]. Glycoprotein B (gB) of the virion envelope is responsible for fusion of infected cells and host-cell entry and cell-to-cell transmission[3]. Upon infection, viral lytic gene expression induces replication of the DNA and form viral particles[3]. The gene can…

Burkitt’s Lymphoma is a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in which cancer starts in the immune system called B-cells. It affects the lymphatic system, which helps your body fight infections. There are two common types: Sporadic and Endemic. The types differ by the parts of the body affected and the geographic location. Cause: The disorder is caused by chromosomal translocations. It is also associated with impaired immunity. The endemic (African) type is linked to the Epstein-Barr virus, HIV, and…

1. The Bronze Age Civilization of the Aegean took place during ca. 3000-1200 B.C.E This time period consisted of two civilizations, the Minoan (ca. 2000-1400 B.C.E.) and the Mycenaean (ca. 1600-1200 B.C.E). On the island of Crete, the Minoan civilization was centered in the palace of Minos at Knossos. This culture was thriving and traveled by sea quiet often. The palace consisted of frescoes demonstrating numerous aspect of Cretan life. Of all the frescoes in the palace the most recognized is…

Knossos is located in Crete, on the largest island off the coast of Greece, 5 kilometers southeast of the city of Heraklion (1). Being nestled within a valley near the river of Kairatos, the river currently flows only partly year-round (1). Yet, during Minoan times when the site was inhabited, the river flowed constantly. Knossos used to be surrounded with cypress and oak trees but has since been turned into acres of vineyards and olive trees (1). Knossos was established during the Bronze Age…

integrated system of beliefs, traditions, and customs that govern or influence a person’s behavior. Culture is learned, shared by members of a group, and based on the ability to think in terms of symbols” (Kelly p19)). Linear A is similar to Linear B that the Greek uses, but it is still unknown where the origin of this language comes from and what the symbols…

The gas chamber was a shower room and the barracks were so filled there was a little of everything going around. It all started on January 30, 1933, that Hitler was starting this tragedy that will make its mark in history….. Any mother that had a small child beside her both went to the gas chamber. If a child was not or did not look 16 went to the gas chamber. If you were sick, you went to the gas chamber. If, you're very old you went to the gas chamber! At times, a young pregnant woman would…

Hemophilia is a genetic disease that causes an affected person to severely bleed if cut. Lucky for hemophilia patients, gene therapy is an option. Gene therapy is a form of therapy during which selected healthy genes are transferred to an affected person’s cells. Not only is gene therapy a breakthrough in genetic engineering, but it can effectively cure genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and SCID and some acquired diseases like cancer. Gene therapy is carried out by packing a section of…

disorder that can cause severe bleeding both internally and externally due to having little to no clotting factor. In rare cases, hemophilia can occur in females or even be obtained. Hemophilia exists in two forms – hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Hemophilia A and B are caused by a defect in the genes F8 and F9, respectively. The F8 gene is responsible for making a specific protein called coagulation factor VIII, and the F9 gene for the making of a related protein, coagulation IX. These…
