Explain the importance of removing metabolic wastes, including carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste from the body Carbon dioxide Excess carbon dioxide is toxic and has three main effects: The majority of carbon dioxide is carried in the blood as…

In order to create a drug that could inhibit this particular gene, there was research conducted to determine what antibody to use. Evolocumab is a member of monoclonal antibodies that allow the inhibition of the PCSK9 gene (New England Journal of Medicine). One trial that was conducted was the Further Cardiovascular Outcomes Research with PCSK9 Inhibition in Subjects with Elevated Risk, also known…

Medical Aspect of Nuclear Chemistry Nuclear chemistry is a growing subfield of chemistry. Although it has also has been used for the destruction of humanity in history this paper discuss on how it has been helpful through medical aspects. Nuclear chemistry is related with radioactivity, nuclear processes, and properties. In order to build a nuclear process, radioactive elements are combined with nuclear reactors. In order to identify which chemicals should be used for medical purpose,…

Introduction: Forensic science is the application of various scientific techniques and methods to investigate the physical Crime evidence. Forensic science links the Suspect, victim to crime scene, and link victim to suspect and suspect to victim. To determine the relevance of the evidence, number of different techniques are being used.

Chronic diseases can be quite debilitating. A chronic disease is a disease that is long-lasting and can be treated but not cured (Chronic Disease, n.d.). This means that, although the symptoms of the disease may be managed, it will never go away completely. Multiple sclerosis is one of these treatable but incurable diseases. Even with treatment, a person diagnosed with multiple sclerosis will always experience some degree of disability. What is multiple sclerosis? How does it present itself? How…

When it comes to the topic of animal testing, most of us will readily agree that it is a very debatable discussion. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question whether it helps researchers to find new drugs and treatments suitable for humans. Whereas some are convinced that animal testing does help researchers find new effective drugs and treatments, others maintain that some drugs tested on animals are ineffective or even safe for human consumption. In my perspective the…

antigenic sites. Identifying these sites as the point of mutation in proteins reveals how viruses are often able to evade the response of its host’s immune system. The small changes in the receptor site make the virus unrecognizable to any pre-existing antibodies. Links between genes in the evolution of the virus are also being used to predict the virus’s next evolutionary step.…

Introduction Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The disease results in ulcers on the inflamed large intestine that results in mucous and pus. Ulcerative Colitis (UC) most commonly affects the rectum and sigmoid colon with ulceration of the colonic mucosa (book). There are varying types of UC that affect different regions of the colon.
