RESULTS Lipid Extraction The prediction made was that adipose tissue most likely had the highest lipid content and skeletal muscle had the lowest lipid content when comparing liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. The percent lipid was found to be 30% in liver tissue, 70% in muscle tissue, and 90% in adipose tissue in the samples collected. Protein Extraction and Quantification The absorbance vs concentration curve prepared from the Bradford Protein Assay standards was found to have a linear…

Ocular Ischemic Syndrome (OIS) is a rare, primarily unilateral condition caused by hypoperfusion secondary to ophthalmic and carotid artery blockages.1 An internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis happens 90% of the time causing perfusion pressure to decrease in the central retinal artery.1 In patients with an ICA stenosis, studies have shown that plasma levels of homocysteine and C-reactive protein are linked to the development of OIS.3 When ICA stenosis occurs, there is an incomplete blood…

The nurse should assess the face, the neck, chest and the abdomen. In the inspection the professional should look for evidence of respiratory distress, breathlessness, cough, wheeze, recently weight loss, tremor, cyanosis, tobacco staining, Cushing syndrome, anemia, possible apical lung cancer (Horner 's syndrome), any possible tracheal obstruction, lymphadenopathy, superior vena cava obstruction. When palpating the professional will use the index finger to feel the trachea and to…

Another variation of Down Syndrome, although not as common, deals with the translocation of genes between chromosome #14 and chromosome #21.This is deleterious because all the chromosome pairs shown in a karyotype normally have the same length, staining pattern, and centromere position. However, with this translation, either Chromes #14 or 21 will be extra long or extra…

involved in research under the direction of Ernst Brücke, a psychologist professor. Freud was extremely good at his research. He concentrated on neurophysiology which is the study of the biology in the nervous system. He even invented a special cell-staining technique. Brücke helped him get a grant to study with Charcot, a psychiatrist, in Paris. In 1902, twenty-one years after he earned his doctoral degree, he was appointed a professor at the same university he got his degree from. Throughout…

cells in G (figure 7) and S, it was found that indeed the spindle seems to be irregular (figure. 8), likely altering the shape. Nocodazole may impair mitotic spindle formation To investigate the effect of nocodazole on the mitotic spindle an IFA staining was performed. Nocodazole interferes with the spindle formation during the mitosis, therefore, it is speculated, treated cells having a defective spindle. Figure 9 and 10 show that nocodazole is indeed able to impair spindle formation as cells…
