of the body (Webster, 659). Adult stem cells much easier to obtain and are currently the most used types of cells for stem cell therapy. These cells are able to be “isolated” from areas of the body such as the bone marrow, umbilical cords, the placenta, and even certain body fats. Although these stem cells are still very useful, not all of them are able to differential like the embryotic stem cells. One of the few adult stem cells that are somewhat able to change are the bone marrow stem cells…

If you feel symptoms like pain, fever, throat pain and pain in the stomach area then pharmacy medications like paracetamol or ibuprofen can help with your symptoms, if you are under sixteen years of age you should take Aspirin.

Pertussis, has proven itself to be an enigma to sustain protection against this acute respiratory infection in the world of epidemiology and remains endemic to the United States. There has been a vaccine for pertussis in widespread use for over sixty-five years. However, the incidence of pertussis remains high with teens to adults and proves itself deadly to infants under 8 weeks of age when intractable pulmonary hypertension leads to cardiac failure (Carrico, C, 2013). The lowest report in the…

people know. Teratogens are environmental agents or factors that can cause developmental issues or birth defects to the embryo. Some of these agents are illegal drugs, prescription drugs, viruses, or chemicals. When you are pregnant the job of the placenta is to keep teratogens out of the fetus, although there are some that make it to the fetus. I’m going to hit a few points and a few teratogens and explain them. When I was pregnant, I was on ACE witch are prescription high blood pressure…

If women are restricted from being able to access safe abortions then we are going back on years…

Stress is an inevitable experience in life that can disrupt cognitive processes, neuroplasticity, endocrine and immune system in animals and humans (Dantzer and Mormede, 1995). Chronic restraint stress models are the most popular for studying the mechanisms of impairments or cognitive disturbances (Chen et al ., 2010; Yi et al.,2013). Glucocorticoids are able to modulate many cellular processes such as energy and neurotransmitter metabolism (Datson et al ., 2008) which are all the intervening…

The immune’s system primary function is to protect all other organs systems from attack such as things like bacteria or prevent you from getting sick. Our body’s immune system includes three major parts. The first main defense of the immune system is known as barriers which is the first line of defense. Barriers…

antigen in either her first or second pregnancy. In the first sensitization, HDFN has no clinical manifestations because the IgM class antibodies produced by the mother cannot cross the placenta and cause harm to the fetus. In the second or current pregnancy IgM antibodies class switches to IgG, which can cross the placenta, leading to hemolysis of fetal red blood cells, which can be fatal if not treated. It is known that this patient has IgG class antibodies because the phases of reaction…
