The purpose of establishment of a non-profit organization or company is to help people in need and to improve the quality of life, not to earn money. This organization has to work for the public interest and it did not mean Plasma was able to sell blood in order to make a profit. Consequently, Jack Smith who led this organization had to take criminal responsibility for the blood sale to realize a profit. In this case, I think he was as an evil entrepreneur as Jeff Skilling…

Contrary to its traditional image, functions of modern day anaesthesiologist expands far beyond the boundaries of anaesthetizing and de-anaesthetizing a particular patient. Taking utmost care of the patient and safeguarding the patient from possible untoward events during anaesthesia and surgery is the supreme duty of the anaesthesiologist apart from optimal pain relief to the…
Between 1900 and 2000 the world population increased from 1.5 to 6.1 billion people (Max Roser) and by the end of 2100 the population is expected at 11 billion people, this rapid acceleration means large scale environmentally friendly energy is needed sooner rather than later (The Guardian). Fusion energy will be a future energy source, with the ITER machine under construction based on the ‘Tokamak’ concept of magnetic confinement. ITER is predicted to start operating in 2019, with electricity…
It affects the peptidoglycan layer on the cell wall. It does this by breaking the peptidoglycan chains apart. An example of a drug is penicillin, methicillin and ampicillin. The second thing they can do is affect the plasma membrane. They do this by breaking up the lipids o the plasma membrane. Some drugs that do this are polymyxin, bacitracin. Most are antibacterial and anti-fungal drugs. The third thing they can do I s affect he protein synthesis, by affecting the ribosomes. Some of the drugs…
• The body maintains dynamic constancy, or homeostasis, of the internal environment through the use of antagonistic effectors and negative feedback loops. • The hormones, glucagon and insulin, work to manage blood sugar within normal levels and reduce fluctuations. For instance, when blood sugar levels rise, insulin hormones are released from the pancreas to guide these glucose molecules out of the blood stream and into the body’s muscle, adipose, and liver cells, along with most other cells in…
temperature measurement. Temperature Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object; kinetic energy is the rate at which molecules or particles move. When particles of any matter (solids, liquids, gases or elementary plasmas) move faster, they carry more kinetic energy and feel warmer than a material with slower particles. Boiling Boiling is the process where molecules transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase, resulting in the formation of vapour…
They found that drugs might have short and long term lasting effects on the infant. In particular, Cannabis, this is highly liposoluble and binds to plasma proteins. THC is excreted in the breast milk where it accumulated. Studies show that THC is excreted though breast milk in large amounts and can be as high as 8:1. Reported short-term side effects of THC are sedation, lethargy, weakness, and poor…
contents in the blood which lets the body to function naturally without any obstruction. The main disorders that can be prevented by using Compression Socks for Men are: 1. Edema, in which the process of ultrafiltration causes the plasma water to be pushed inside the soft plasma tissue which may lead to heart failure. 2. Chronic Vein Insufficiency, in which veins are not able to pump enough blood to the heart which will cause the heart to reduce the working capacity and may cause chocking and…
Overview Optic neuritis is the term used when there is inflammation in the optic nerve, which is the bunch of nerve fibers tasked with transmitting visual information to the brain. A rare condition, it is most commonly associated with multiple sclerosis in that it can possibly be an early indication of the disorder. It is also often related to neuromyelitis optica, which is a condition similar to MS in that it causes an inflammation of the spinal cord and optic nerve. It is not yet known what…
Gout has been identified as early as 2640 BC by the ancient Egyptians, with famous suffers such as composer Ludwig van Beethoven, diplomate Benjamin Franklin, astronomer Galileo Galilei, and physicist Isaac Newton and known as the disease of kings due to prevalence of an indulgent lifestyle, such as consumption of alcohol, fructose-sweetened drinks, meat and other rich foods lead to risk factors of gout. Gout is caused by an excesses amount of uric acid being deposited in needle-like structures…
