For my anatomy class I was asked to write a paper of how a body system of my choice affects the other body systems. I chose the endocrine system, it is made up of many different glands, but every gland still does a part in making sure that organs in the other body systems are well balanced. I liked the endocrine system when we went over it in class and thought it would be an excellent choice. Especially since most of it has to do with the brain and I love to study the brain. I will cover all the…
Research is the key foundation of learning as well as a stimulant of the mind; it causes people to further investigate a subject that they are interested in and to develop various viewpoints on the subject. However research comes at a price, not only in the form of hard work, stress, and mental strain, but also in the form that most often eludes research from being done, the monetary form. In the medical world, research is fundamental to further not only the ability to diagnose, to treat…
Optimistic for Cancer Cancer affects society more than any other disease. Continually, with a wide range of types, a not-so-long list of treatment options, and no definite cure, cancer embodies evil. If society embraces this evil as it is, no improvements will occur. Nonetheless, opening the eyes of humanity to other options than what appears on the surface is a large factor in future cancer success rates. Optimism is the cause of an increase of successful cancer treatments because of…
Chediak-Higashi syndrome is a Primary human immunodeficiency disease which is caused by genetic predisposition in an autosomal recessive pattern, where this describes any chromosome other than sex chromosomes where both pairs of the gene in each cell have underwent mutation. This disorder itself is a rare one, where about 200 cases of the condition have been reported worldwide. The parents of the person with this type of condition, autosomal recessive, carry one copy of the mutated gene, but…
children (London et al., 2014). Acute lymphoblastic leukemia has different classifications according to Vardinam (as cited in Meenagan, Dowling, & Kelly, 2012), “Clinical classification of ALL now concentrates on the differentiation of T and B lymphocytes, and the World Health Organization (WHO) classification outlined two principal classifications of ALL: precursor B-lymphoblastic leukemia and…
Blood tests show that one or all of the different blood cell types are decreased. One cell type, the lymphocyte may increase and be abnormal in appearance. This can sometimes be confused with certain types of leukemia. If a dog becomes chronically infected, the disease can keep coming back, especially during periods of stress. In some cases, arthritis or a kidney disease called 'glomerluonephritis' may develop. A decrease in the number of platelets in the blood is the most common laboratory…
Australian survey of 2007 identifies that boys age 14-16 years have more risk of the insufficient intake of zinc and children age 2-3 years they consume zinc more than the required amount. Largely increase the population than the previous national survey (Rangan, Samman, 2012). According to a study in the US found 1909 to early 1980 there was no reliable Zn food supply (Gibson, 2012). According to the Briefel, Bialostosky, Kennedy-Stephenson, McDowell, & Wright, US population has inadequate…
highest value when being stimulated with Hek293/CXCR3 cell while TNF alpha shows a bit high value that stimulated HeLa/CXCR3 cell. An important role of CXCR3 and its ligands in the in this NFkb Luciferase reporter activity assay is the migration of T lymphocytes stems from adhesion experiments under flow conditions which fasten chemokine receptor CXCR3 to mediate gene…
1.4.9 Kinetics and metabolism Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons are lipophilic compounds that are readily absorbed from the lungs following inhalation, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract following ingestion and the skin following dermal exposure (ASTDR, 1995). In humans, it was reported that B(a)P measured in the lungs following inhalation of soot particles was much lower than expected. This may be due to the ability of the pulmonary epithelial cells to metabolise B(a)P thereby facilitating its…
Lead and zinc are mostly present at the same occupational source, usually found as co-contaminants at specific sites and are among the top 10 substances found most frequently at national priorities list (NPL) sites with a completed exposure pathway.1 Lead has been known to humankind from ancient times and its use was increased immensely from 17th century onwards due to industrial revolution. Primarily lead was used in paints, ships, gasoline, pottery etc. However upon recognizing debilitated…
