They include clonal deletion and the development of anergy in donor specific lymphocytes, development of suppressor lymphocytes, or factors that down-regulate the immune response against the graft. Other hypotheses include the persistence of donor-derived dendritic cells in the recipient that promote an immunologically mediated chimeric state between the recipient and the transplanted organ. Tissue typing or crossmatching is performed prior to transplantation to assess…

Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible discusses how cruelty can often act as the driving force for social or political change. It does so by introducing Nathan Price, a missionary from the state of Georgia that exhibits various negative character traits. His ignorance and stubbornness is displayed in “Book One: Genesis” when Nathan disregards Mama Tataba’s advice and cultivates a garden with Leah his own way. He classifies her wisdom as native stupidity and believes it to be evidence of how…

An obituary written by Ryan Hynes about his grandmother, Marianne Tuholski, struck me particularly because of the blunt verbiage used in his piece. After reading several other passionate-worded obituaries, Tuholski’s nonchalance shocked me; moreover, the very first paragraph of this piece made my jaw drop, literally. “I think Grandma wanted the week’s drama to surround her, not a laptop.

America gave me another chance at pursuing my dreams and I am very thankful for that. I promised myself and my family to become a physician not for the money, nor for the good life, but to assist people in need of my service. Like Thomas Edison, I did not give up on my dream just because I encountered…

Habituation is a form of learning in which an organism decreases or ceases to respond to a stimulus after repeated presentation.Habituation usually refers to a reduction in innate behaviours, whereas dishabituation is when we respond to an old stimulus as if it were new. When we repeatedly experience a stimulus, we get used to it, and stop responding the same way we did when we first experienced…

31 May 2017, the day I left for Basic Military Training. I had just graduated from Harrisburg High School on the 21st, with the evening before being my big graduation/going away party. Thinking back, I knew I was pretty excited for what was to come, even with the slight nerves that were stirring in me as the date drew closer. But before I knew it, I was at the beginning of my training. I was fresh out of high school, and while everyone I knew was enjoying the summer after graduation, I was…
