Certain infections can increase the likelihood of the disorder. “Some types of infection that have been linked with CP include viruses such as chickenpox, rubella (German measles), and cytomegalovirus (CMV), and bacterial infections such as infections of the placenta or fetal membranes, or maternal pelvic infections [Center for Disease Control].” Low birthweight, and multiple births increase the risk of…

The scientific community overwhelmingly embraces vaccinations and hails them as one of the most significant medical advances in history, and most scientists argue that vaccinations should be mandatory. But many Americans question the safeness of vaccinations and claim that the choice to vaccinate children should be up to parents.

Toxoplasmosis is typically diagnosed using serological analysis. Multiple immunological assays can be used, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) technique, and immunosorbent agglutination assay (ISAGA). The Sabin-Feldman dye test, however, is the gold standard immunological assay. In the Sabin-Feldman dye test, the patient’s serum is treated with both live T. gondii organisms and methylene blue dye. If the patient has been previously…

There have been multiple trials of humans testing that have failed, which have caused many people to be opposed to animal testing. The opposing side of animal testing believes; animal research does not have to be the only technique available to develop medicines and cosmetic products for the society. Researchers are trying to find alternative ways to obtain new knowledge and research to help better the human society. Kelly James-Enger, the author, of “Beyond Animal Testing,” states,…

humane race for centuries and throughout that time we have developed ways to prevent them and protect our children. So, why are parents now choosing not to vaccinate? Is the anti-vaccination movement decreasing child safety? Does MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine cause autism?

People who do not vaccinate…

In 2000, the measles virus was considered eradicated, until an outbreak in late 2014 that has many at risk. There are over 644 cases of infected patients, many of them being young children. Even though people think they are safe from diseases and illnesses, measles is highly contagious and vaccinations are an absolute must. Many have died and even more have been infected or even just affected by sick or lost family members. The virus has been around for quite a long time. In the 1930s the most…

No parent would want their child to die at a young age due to an illness that could have been prevented with a vaccination. If children were to receive all of their necessary vaccines, then they will not have a risk of getting an incurable illness. Vaccines prevent children from getting sick. According to Whitman et al. (2015), “Approximately half the children were vaccinated against influenza; yet ninety percent of deaths occurred among unvaccinated children” (pg. 1802). In other words,…
