Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease, with prominent motor symptoms (i.e. rigidity, tremors and bradykinesia) [1, 2] and non-motor symptoms [3, 4] (i.e. sleep disorders, constipation, cardiac arrhythmias and cognitive deficits), ultimately leading to death. There are two defining features of PD, degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and an abundant amount of -synuclein protein in the brain creating Lewy bodies [5]. When -synuclein misfolds…

Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) is a member of the Herpesviridae family, that causes two different infections: varicella and herpes zoster. This paper will include information on the history of Varicella Zoster Virus and how to treat it. Most people know varicella as chickenpox, which is a modified version of the previous term: chicken peas. It was previously called chicken peas because the red rash that appear resembles the vesicles of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) or chicken pecks. Red, itchy spots…

Recombinant DNA is genetically engineered DNA that is formed by splicing fragments of DNA. Organismal cloning is the artificial creation of a new organism that is genetically identical to its counterpart. DNA cloning is a recombinant DNA technique where cDNAs and fragments of genomic DNA are inserted into a cloning vector and maintained during growth of the host cells. Vector is an agent that transfers genetic material into a cell or organism. Restriction enzymes are bacterial enzymes that find…

ideal image of a feminist. This forced identity creates conflict in the development of offred’s character, “Falling in love... It was the central thing; it was the way you understood yourself; if it never happened to you, not ever, you would be like a mutant, a creature from outer space. Everyone knew that.” (Atwood, 261) Many believe that falling in love is a critical stage in the development of a person in order for them to form their own identity. Throughout the story, Offred struggled to…

You “…avoid eye contact with the mutants, unsuccessfully ignoring the suppurating wounds that consume their bodies and bulging sangria-coloured veins that lather their crimson skin like vines.” Hello, I’m Darcy Smith, an Australian author, and today I am going to explain the scientific concepts behind my short story, ‘The Changing’ in the hope of being considered for the 2016 Anthology of Science Fiction Stories by Australian authors. Set only a few years from the present, my story portrays a…

Steroids Many people have heard of steroids but have done little research on the topic. Steroids is a relatively young drug seeing how it only been 70 years. People only know the bad about the drug and that it is outlawed by most sport leagues including the olympics. If you're not in the medical field it can be hard to truly know the true facts about steroids. Humans have been trying to increase performance since the dawn of time. Dating all the way back to Greece when atheletes ate testical…

Why do writers choose paranormal power as their topic instead of other more daily stuffs? As Kripal mentioned in his article, the mystical movement is in late 1962, and the mutant mythology is in 1963. A great amount of classic books and great writers appeared at that time. I believe that in that inevitable trend, more writers tried to do some experiments in the fiction and mystery book field, just like what is happening right now. “Authors and artists of popular culture commonly report similar…

Retinitis Pigmentosa is an inherited retinal disease with progressive degeneration of the photoreceptors, leading sometimes to blindness, it is well characterized by its heterogeneous genetics. The first signs can be observed in adolescence or early adulthood including night blindness and progressive loss of peripheral vision in daylight, eventually concluding in severe visual impairment, may be inherited as X-linked, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive. Many genes had been involved with…

An example of pyrokinesis was in the X-Men comics. John Allerdyce, a teenage mutant at Charles Xavier's school for gifted youngsters had a type of pyrokinesis. John could manipulate fire with his mind, but he could not create it. Even though Stan Lee used a type of fire manipulation in his comics, Stephen King was the first to…
