Spina Biffida Spina Biffida is a genetic disorder. A genetic disorder is an often-inherited medical condition caused by an abnormality in DNA. Per year, there are around 20,000 out of 200,000 babies in the US affected by Spina Biffida. Spina Biffida is a defect of the spine in which part of the spinal cord is exposed through a gap in the backbone. It is caused by bones not forming properly. It can often lead to being paralyzed below the waist as well as mental problems. Spina Biffida can be…

The BBC stated in the article What is fracking and why is it controversial? that “Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique designed to recover gas and oil from shale rock. Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside.” To be more specific, oil companies drill into the earth to extract gas from rocks using a high pressure water mixture. The water mixture includes gallons of water, sand, and…

brain. This is known as intracerebral haemorrhage. It can also occur because of bleeding on the surface of our brain. Between the layers of membrane is a space, which is filled with fluid. If blood vessel near the surface of the brain burst, blood can leak into this space. This known as subarachnoid…

The unit number 2 of the nuclear power plant in Three Mile Island, located near the city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, suffered a serious accident on March 28, 1979. A small leak in the steam generator triggered the worst nuclear accident in history of the USA, and the second worst in the history of nuclear power. The causes must be attributed to the design of that plant that made it extremely unsafe. The loss of coolant caused an increase in core temperature that eventually ended up melting fuel…

important information such as the routine collection of a lot of data, the keeping of the data and the far-reaching collection worldwide. Snowden looked at and studied every document before deciding on what to release. Unlike past leaks, he did not put it onto Wiki Leaks or upload them to the Internet. The U.S. government collected information on millions of Americans that were not linked to terrorism in any way. The U.S. also collects information on other countries, even allies (New Yorker).…

contributes to the secondary brain injury after hemorrhage. Hemorrhagic stroke can be categorized into intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Intracerebral hemorrhage happened when blood vessel than within the brain gets hurt and leaks blood into the surrounding brain tissue and thus puts pressure on the surrounding tissue. Some common causes of intracerebral hemorrhage include high blood pressure, accidental injury, bleeding disorders and deformities in blood…

The Dakota access pipeline is an affliction to everyone who has a sense of compassion and understanding, especially to indigenous people who are being taxed with decisions and demands from careless people who conceal their true intentions with false facts and reasonings,when all they care about is the green in promising. Recently the $3.8 billion project has become one of America's most followed up protest, for it keeps gaining many people's attention with every protest and support. There are…

Hemorrhagic Stroke A hemorrhagic stroke is the sudden death of brain tissue that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts (ruptures). When this happens, certain areas of the brain do not get enough oxygen, and blood builds up and presses on certain areas of the brain (hemorrhage). Lack of oxygen and pressure from hemorrhaging can lead to brain damage. There are two types of hemorrhagic stroke, depending on where bleeding occurs. If bleeding occurs within the brain tissue, the…

cell that has become cancerous. The CLL cells leave the bone marrow and leak into the bloodstream, often causing the number of white blood cells in the blood to increase. In most cases of CLL, there are too many abnormal white blood cells. These leukemia cells crowd out the normal blood cells in your bone marrow and build up in your lymph nodes, liver, and spleen. http://www.webmd.com/cancer/tc/leukemia-what-happens) When the leak happens the cells can spread organs preventing other cells to…

alert nearby people to the impending danger. Smoke detectors provide many positive benefits when installed in the home such as lowering fatality rates, helping prevent small fires from turning into larger ones and some even detect carbon monoxide leaks. According to an NFPA report house fires where no smoke alarms were present caused an average of 940 deaths a year and approximately 514 injuries per year. The report also states that in 100 house fires the death rate was twice as high in home…
