quick and accurate diagnosis. (Premier Heart, 2014) Electron Beam Tomography, however, may be used to produce a better image of the heart and correlate the severity of atherosclerosis in asymptomatic patients creating a calcium volume score. (The Mount Sinai Hospital, 2014) Complications that can result from CAD can cause heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, which may lead to ventricular fibrillation, heart attack, and stroke. It is vital to seek attention from a health care professional when…

due to their roles as witnesses to the covenant, the mountains have been associated before in the Old Testament as "closer" to God due to the proximity to heaven, such as Mount Sinai where Moses received the gift of the Ten Commandments from God and the imagery in the New Testament when Jesus delivers the Beatitudes on the Mount. Ezekiel 36 also makes references to the use of mountains as witnesses or listeners, when the "Son of man" is told to prophesy to the mountains of Israel. In the second…

When we arrive to Exodus 34, we come across a narrative that is already in progress. Prior to the Exodus, we have already been introduced to the concept of divine covenant. In Genesis 12, the Lord promised Abram that He would make him a great nation, make his name great and bless others after him because of him. It is this contextual backdrop that leads to the Israelites becoming God’s chosen people. For early on in the narrative, we are made aware of the fact that God keeps His word –…

ministry, Jesus prepared for a Sermon on the Mount. His disciples traveled alongside him as he healed and preached and healed more and more. People would flock to him, out of both curiosity and loyalty, as news of his healing spread. As amazing as that was, physical healing was not the only reason Jesus came. He knew people needed a cure from sin that reached deep into their soul and that kind of freedom began with him. And so he climbed to Mount Sinai and preached…

overwhelmed and leaving and going home. Medicine at the time of the virus was not very good anyways. Mary Tullidge, who was the daughter of Dr. George Tillidge, died within twenty-four hours of her first symptoms. Alice Wolowitz, a student nurse at Mount Sinai Hospital, began her shift in the morning, felt sick, and was dead twelve hours…

I quickly realized that I wanted to record neural activity in behaving animals. I also realized that I needed a formal education in neurobiology. Thus, I successfully applied for the Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences (MSBS) program at Mount Sinai with a major in neuroscience. While I was waiting to hear about the status of my MSBS application, I took a job as a database manager at SRL diagnostics, a company that stores data from clinical trials. During this time, I gained proficiency in…

I chose the quote “When we have mass we ought to go out the way Moses descended Mount Sinai: with his face shining, with his heart brave and strong to face the world’s difficulties”(Sunday Homily, June 17, 1979). This is showing that we should use the Eucharist to get through life’s difficulties. We should try to be as close to God as possible even in very tough moments. This is what Oscar Romero did for his entire life. He used the Eucharist and its characteristics as a guide to do what God…

from the outside in, and he would later fall into a sleep where he would never awaken. We are also met with the character of a leopard who dies, but instead of dying stinking in the plains, he dies in a frozen coffin of immortality at the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. I believe that Harry was characterized within this story to show the extreme similarity in spiritual development between himself and the leopard. Seeing as the leopard and Harry made it to the peak of the mountain…

How would we, as Christians, live our lives without the Bible? The Bible plays a key aspect in our roles as Christians. Specific Bible stories and topics such as Mt. Sinai, Moses, God’s covenants to us, and the martyrdom of Stephen give us a clear understanding that even though God is not physically present in the world today, He still uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things under His name. The Bible is crucial for us as Christians, for it is a constant reminder that we truly do serve…

Merriam-Webster defines hypothermia as a condition in which the temperature of the body is very low. This condition is a medical emergency that occurs when the body loses more heat than what it is able to produce; hence, the body temperature decreases. The part of the brain called the hypothalamus is responsible for controlling body temperature; therefore, hypothermia is the result of the dysfunction of the hypothalamus. In order for a person to become hypothermic, their body temperature must be…
