Paralysis

automatically multiplies their chance of survival by 4. Secondly, the seat belt protects two vital parts of your body: the brain, and the spinal cord. This is important because an injury to either the brain or the spinal cord can lead to death, or permanent paralysis. Thirdly, seatbelts spread out the force from a collision. This means that instead of pressure from a collision being focused onto one area (Which can break that part of the body, or even lead to death if it is a vital part), the…

As an 18 month old I suffered from a head trauma, which resulted in loss of oxygen and left me in a coma for three weeks. The left-sided brain injury caused me to have paralysis, and weakness on my right side. I have a slight limp when I walk and favor my left side, including handedness. As a result of the injury my parents were told that I had been diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury. Since my Trauma I have been demonstrating ongoing academic struggle. It has affected my learning environments…

Clostridium botulinum are anaerobic microbes that are rod-shaped. These microbes are anaerobic because they live and grow in low oxygen conditions. When the bacteria has poor survival conditions it forms protective spores. The spores have a protective coat that covers the bacterium and also has protective membranes layers. Therefore, the protective membrane and the hard coating help protect the dormant of the bacterium for years. C. botulinum is responsible for a disease called botulism.…

malaria-transmitting anopheles mosquito” (Solui, 139). Furthermore, the workers face the threat of the barba amarilla, which feeds on rats and opossums found in the banana plantations. This venomous snake “could produce temporary blindness, bleeding, paralysis and, if untreated, death” (Solui, 141). There is little that these workers can do to protect themselves from the mosquitos and venomous snakes and on top of that, “Mundane elements of export banana agroecosystems - including, wind, rain,…

(ALS) is a motor neuron disease sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease. According to Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases (2009), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) can be defined as a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive muscular paralysis reflecting degeneration and death of motor neurons in the primary motor cortex, brainstem and spinal cord. In other words, it is a disease that attacks the cells responsible for controlling the muscle action we are able to control, such as…

substance C could have a reversible mechanism. It could be compared to the action of toxin A (Ni2+) which according to Larsen and Satin (1991) have this effect. Their research shows that after the exposure of paramecium to Ni2+ ciliary motility paralysis could be reversed in different ways, for instance, the addition of EDTA. This concept could be applied to toxin C as seems to follow this…

sores, but this time it can create sores in the private areas, rashes, and major hair loss. Third stage of syphilis is the most latest part of the disease if not treated, occurs after 10-30 years of having the infection which causes your body to get paralysis(loss the ability to move).

ID #: Tay Sach’s Description Tay Sach’s is a progressive genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. The mutation occurs on the HEXA gene which is located on the “Q” arm of chromosome 15 between the 23rd and 24th positions. Since Tay Sach’s is a recessive disorder, it requires two recessive traits, or alleles, in order for it to appear in an individual. Individuals who inherit this disorder are lacking a protein called hexosaminidase A. This protein’s function is to dispose of the fat that…

maker for American citizens and needs be able to make the most beneficial and well-informed decisions. Roosevelt was also extremely strong-willed and determined because even though he faced several obstacles such as being diagnosed with infantile paralysis (polio), he continued with his work even though he was crippled and needed braces for support. This showed that if Roosevelt was willing to continue working with a severe illness, that he would not give up easily when leading and making…
