Melissa S. Kearney and Phillip B. Levine explains and incorporates the findings that links both income inequality and rates of teenage childbirth. The authors point out that poor girls who live in places with a high level of inequality are more likely to be teen parents. Rich add in a statistic stating a teenage girl in Mississippi is four times more likely to give birth than a teenage girl in New Hampshire. This statistic proves Rich’s point that was stated earlier in his findings. Inequality…

Dyslipidemia is a prominent factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases that are the leading cause of death in the world, with left ventricular hypertrophy being one of these. Changes in the lipid profile are also responsible for the oxidative stress that affects several organs, and the liver is one of the most affected. Such involvement triggers diseases that affect the organ structurally and functionally. Herbal medicines in recent years are emerging as an alternative in the…

Our excitement levels reached new heights as we realized we were in the presence of one of the most successful people beyond basketball. My fingers latched into my pockets and I snatched the marker out of it. Common sense then hit me as I saw bodyguards barricaded around him. I settled for a picture from all the way across court, zooming in fully, until I could see the distorted figure. From that moment, I made it my goal to at least meet someone…

2) What is your diagnosis for this patient (be specific)? How does this condition arise? What biological marker would you look for to confirm your diagnosis? My diagnosis is that Susan has post streptococcal glomerulonephritis. This condition is due to an antigen and antibody interaction which comes about right after strep throat infection has healed. Strep throat, is a bacterial infection caused by an antigen, group A streptococci. Post streptococcal glomerulonephritis, arises because…

which is either a single gene on a chromosome, or two or more genes very close to one another on the chromosome. QTL mapping is done via the association of the determined phenotypes and molecular markers, such as microsatellites or RFLPs. This is helps identify where the traits are on the gene because markers’ sites are already known. This idea of polygenic inheritance is an important part of quantitative genetics because it, coupled with different environmental factors, can help create even a…

What is a woWhat is a woman? If you were to google “am I a woman” you would be bombarded with many quizzes that test what gender you lean toward. In her speech entitled “Aint I a Woman”, Sojourner Truth spoke to the debate still raging today about what makes a woman, a woman. People have identified both men and women in various ways in the past and present, but recently the debate has gotten increasingly heated in the wake of more awareness of transgendered persons and others who do not conform…

The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor scale The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scale (numbering 0–21) is a point scale used in the analyzation of the activity of the limb joints of animals. Its locomotion rate is based on various aspects of the hind limb function like the weight support and toe clearance, just to mention a few [37]. All results were obtained at time points of 2 weeks to 8 weeks post-operation along with the blinded examination that was executed by two scorers.…

a person should attain to be considered an adult. A person should be moved out of parent’s home, have finished school, obtained a steady job with benefits, eloped and have started a family. As a true twixter myself, I have to disagree with those markers. I am currently 25 years old and I’m still working on achieving some of those and then there are others I’m not sure I want to. Moving out of parent’s house is a given. Most people before or by the time they are thirty will want to have moved out…

Treg subtypes and characteristics: It has been concluded by multiple studies that Treg cells produce forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) at some point of their development. This protein is an important molecule in immune regulation as its presence in cells was determined to be sufficient in the suppression of proliferation and cytokine secretion by effector cells. Furthermore, a frameshift mutation in Foxp3 results in a fatal syndrome of extensive immune activation, leading to the over secretion of…

Joseline Jacamo To the Bitter End: A Case Examining the Genetics of PTC Sensitivity First part : Questions 1. What L.H Snyder is inferred by using “Mendelian marker” is to convey that all Mendelian traits which is inherited from the parent and pass down to its offspring can be utilized as a maker. 2. Some question that Dr. Snyder could ask is “How would you know if PTC is an inherited trait?. In addition, “How are you going to test if PTC is an inherited trait or not?. Also, if “PTC tasting is…
