During my freshman year of high school I earned the opportunity to conduct Intermediate Science Research through a three-year college level course provided by the University of Albany, State University of New York. The program entailed that each student find an area to research that pertained to his/her interest. In order to find an area that would encapsulate my interests, I delved into about 70 scientific journal articles, each correlating to impairments of the central nervous system.…

Modern surgical procedures employ a wide variety of technical devices ranging from basic mechanical instrumentation to high-tech robotic surgical complexes. Close to the top of this scale are laparoscopic surgical systems. Laparoscopic (aka minimally invasive surgery, later referred to as MIS) surgery by itself is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed far from their location through small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) elsewhere in the body [1]. The key element in…

There are many models of abnormalities in psychology, including psychodynamic, behavioral, biological, humanistic-existentialism, and cognitive. Some of these approaches to abnormality seem to almost work off of each other’s beliefs. While each of these models of abnormality are unique in their diagnosis, treatment, and general approach to abnormality, the biological and cognitive approaches stand out to me the most and least fitting explanation to what causes abnormalities and how you should go…

Intravenous drug users can get the disease from injecting bacteria directly into the…

Eventually taken to the back, I was placed onto a table where a doctor was waiting to assess my leg. He told me I needed stiches;…

The Benefits of plants is that it is an overall a more efficient way to process. There are a significant higher number of nutrients, yields, and stress tolerance; in turn developing a higher immunity to disease, pests, and herbicides. In animals, it produces a higher immunity, larger amount and greater thickness, resulting in better and more quantity of meat, eggs, and milk. Over time, this had led to better animal health and more diagnostic methods. The main controversies involve safety,…
