Myalgia

Nardone. He had 12 men participate with the intake of creatine monohydrate. The main objective of this experiment was “To determine whether creatine supplementation would diminish the severity of statin-induced myalgia, weakness, and cramping.” (Shewmon, 4) This experiment was over a 6 week period and the doctor along with his staff monitored the patients’ soreness. The subjects of this test were given 5g of creatine a day, twice a day, for the first week. He called…

What is vibrio Vulnificus? Vibrio Vulnificus is a bacterium from the genus Vibrio. Across most countries Vibrio Vulnificus is a rare cause of illness and is not notifiable in Queensland. From hospital data, in the financial year of 2010/2011 there were 16 hospitalisations reported as being associated with Vibrio Vulnificus. It is naturally found in warm (warmer than 180C) sea and estuarine waters throughout the world and is therefore common in many tropical or subtropical regions. Vibrio…

Are GMOs Harmful The issue regarding Genetically Modified Organisms is a very controversial topic, because our government is telling us that GMOs are good for us. However, are they really good for us, or is the government simply telling us this, because it is cheaper and easier to grow genetically modified crops? I believe that genetically modified organisms, or foods are not good for our health, genetically modified organisms are modified to grow faster using pesticides and many other…

Examination of Molecular determinants of Yellow Fever Virus pathogenicity in Syrian Golden Hamsters: one mutation away from virulence Christian Lee West Coast University: Ontario Native and endemic to the tropical and subtropical locations of Africa and South America, these areas are where Yellow Fever is most prevalent. According to Klitting, Roth, Rey, and Lambellerie, “Yellow Fever Virus was named after the jaundice characteristic of the liver dysfunction caused by the…

Community Acquired Pneumonia Pneumonia is an infection of the lung that involves alveoli, also known as air sacs, and is caused by various microbes including viruses, bacteria, or fungi. It is one of the leading causes of mortalities across the globe. Pneumonia commonly occurs in persons living in their home community hence the community-acquired pneumonia and also among patients who may be hospitalized for other dissimilar reasons as to pneumonia, hospital-acquire pneumonia. Up until 1930,…

Introduction ‘I will have the steak, and a side of mac & cheese.’ While the aforementioned foods seem delicious, are they good for us? What are such delicious foods doing to the inside of ones body, and most importantly, what are such foods doing to one 's cholesterol? In moderation a person can eat delicious and tasty foods; but, when the consumption of food (high in cholesterol) becomes excessive and more than the body can handle a problem begins: high cholesterol. Pathology So what is…

Signs and Symptoms: HIV should be viewed as a continuum which includes initial infection, asymptomatic latent infection, symptomatic infection and end-stage AIDS diagnosis. The progression along a person’s continuum cannot be predicted as it varies from person to person. Since each person’s progression through HIV is different, each person should be viewed as an individual regardless of symptoms they may present with. There are various symptoms that a person can present with during the…

Gods is how humankind should be referenced, we rule the world and control the future of planet Earth, we started by splitting the atom and have moved to altering Earth 's organisms’ genetic structure in ways that would have taken millions of years of cross breeding to develop such traits “naturally.” Genetic engineering is a relatively new science, with the first DNA of different organism spliced together in 1973 and the first patent for a GM product approved in 1980, there has not been enough…

Ashley Kupfner Three-Source Synthesis Paper 4/15/2015 World of GMOs While out shopping for food have you ever wondered what is in the food or what makes some foods cheaper? Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, have created many opportunities to lower food prices, but how is this done? Many companies like Monsanto, Clange, Aventis, Dupont, and Syenta have overcome this strange feat to produce food with genes that are modified or engineered to improve production and/ or profit of the…

A particularly concerning effect of GE is its contribution of introducing a new gene in a product that has never been present. The process of creating gmo’s alters the DNA’s natural state, which in turn can cause mutations, deletion of a chromosomal segment, and a change in gene expressions. As a result from GE the introduction of new genes inserted could result in raising the levels of an existing allergen or produce a new and unknown allergen. In addition, it could also transfer the DNA of a…
