It has been demonstrated that MUC1 (membrane bound mucin) often located on the outer portions of cells, serves as a preventive agent against Helicobacter pylori. MUC1 reduces gastric inflammation in H. pylori Infected tissue by forming a complex with IkB kinase gamma (IKKγ) in this way hindering the contact between IKKγ and IKKβ causing the prevention of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) transportation to the nucleus, in this manner preventing the transcription of genes that can cause inflammation…

According to Schraffenberger (2013), “Pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers are caused by tissue hypoxia secondary to pressure induced vascular insufficiency, and they may become secondarily infected with components of the skin and gastrointestinal flora. The ulceration of tissue usually is at the location of a bony prominence that has been subjected to prolonged pressure against an external object, such as a bed, wheelchair, cast, or splint. Pressure ulcers may extend into deeper tissue including…

I was always the one to chose to have the heaviest coursework, so there was a constant stress from the work. I enjoyed the work load and felt that the stress could be managed. It was a mistake to believe that. Shortly into my first semester I began to regurgitate anything that I had put into my mouth. The feeling was horrendous, so I ate very little throughout the day. I…
