I aspire to make a career from nursing and above all to make a very good nurse. My volunteering work at Bridgwater hospital has taught me a lot about myself and others; mainly it’s taught me that nursing is the career path for me. I have always looked upon the profession with great admiration and my interest to study in this field stems from love of science, the human body and how it works in the organised way that it does. Mostly, I want to do something which I’m proud of and will make a true…

Synopsis The use of smoked marijuana has increased for the treatment of HIV associated anoxeria and weight loss in absence of supporting clinical evidence. This has raised the concern about the safety of marijuana smoking by subjects with an acquired immune deficiency. The safety concern is not only pertaining to effect of THCthe immune system but also for the endocrine system, nervous system and respiratory system on long term and heavy use of marijuana. The use of marijuana was increased due…

plan” (Dahlin, Coyne and Ferrell, 2016, p. 183). I based this assignment on Mrs D., who is an 82-year-old lady and suffers with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia which is a is a cancer that starts from the early version of white blood cells called lymphocytes in the…

Gene therapy consists of repairing abnormal genes which leads to disease. In the treatment of genetic maladies, drug genes are introduced into the diseased cells. These genes are the healthy genes that must replace the defective genes that are responsible for diseases. They are introduced into the disease cells using the vectors. Vectors are the safest means of transport from the healthy gene to the disease cells; This vector must contain the gene and be capable of conveying it and bringing it…

In a healthy individual, the bloodstream remains sterile – free of any pathogens. The immune system, which is responsible for defending the body against pathogens, is a very complex and vital body system. The immune system involves both innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity functions as the “first responder” system of the body. The skin, the mucous membranes are the first line of defense in innate immunity. The skin and mucous membranes serve to prevent microbes from…

inflammatory cells then squeeze through the now permeable capillaries in a process called diapedisis. This migration of cellular products and vascular fluid, collectively know as exudate, to the site of injury (chemotaxis) brings the leukocytes and lymphocytes that will help combat the foreign invader and aid in repair. The influx of red blood cells in the area leads to redness and…

An organ is needed every 10 minutes around the world. There is an average of 79 people who received organ each day. But even with that, due to the shortage of the donated organs, about 22 people die each day because they couldn’t receive the organ transplant in time. Base on that statistic, it is estimated that about 8,030 people lost their life each year because of organ shortages. However, scientists have now discovered a new alternative to reduce the amount of organ shortage called…

Bioinformatics coursework- report on IL2RG IL2RG (Interleukin 2 receptor, gamma) serves as a receptor for cytokines IL2, IL4, IL7, IL15 and IL21 (Brandt et al, 2007). The binding of IL2 regulates the activation, differentiation and proliferation of lymphatic cells through both positive and negative feedback loops. It prevents autoimmune diseases during the maturation of T cells, as well as playing a key role in cell-mediated immunity (Liao et al, 2011). The IL2RG gene is located on the…

in our body acts as basal defense system against exogenous pathogen. Native and adoptive immune system has established to attack infected cell by recognizing major histocompatibility complex (MHC). There are two major lymphocytes related to killing effect called cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells.[1], CTLs and NK cells recognize peptide epitope present on MHC class I to find infected cell. Especially, activated T cells are divided into effector T cell and memory T cell…

number of earlier studies (Kaur et al., 2012) have also reported Ficus carica as phytoremedy for vitiligo. Ficus carica leaves are reported to have two photoactive furanocoumarins, Psoralen and bergapten (5–methoxypsoralen). Since the content of T–lymphocytes was reliably reduced in patients with vitiligo (the number of T–helpers was decreased and T–suppressors were increased), it is recommended to include immune–modulating drugs in complex therapy. Leaf extract of Ficus carica shows promising…
