“If you look at the evolution and leap forward to 11 years from now, I think we will be using all the knowledge in molecular biology, and cancer biology combined with imaging, It will be images, combined with genes, tumor markers and patient data.” (Liselotte Hojgaard, MD, professor of medicine and technology at the University of Copenhagen) The science of radioactivity has existed for many decades since it’s discovery. While often perceived as a risky and dangerous practice, artificial…

Discovered by a two German Chemists, Ferdinand Reich and Theodor Richter co-founded Indium in 1863. Their initial focus was to trace potential Thallium in Zinc ores (rocks), however, it eventually led them to extracting Indium as a by-product of Zinc ores. As of today, there are multiple regions and elements in which Indium can be extracted from but it is not because of its accessibility but rather the demand. The demand for Indium is primarily used for technological purposes- the most prevalent…

bonds in the Cs3H(SeO4)2 crystal. This makes Phase II of the entire process sit in a suitable temperature range for a fuel cell to conduct electricity efficiently. In conclusion, the author writes about a consideration, where elements like Lead and Thallium may be…

health officials warned people not to swim in the river or eat fish from it as it posed health risk to their lives. At power plants it is mixed with water, forming a slurry that is stored in large ponds. This slurry contains arsenic, mercury, lead, thallium, and other dangerous contaminants which are health harzards. Leaching from aerial or land application of pesticides and fertilizers on yards or fields. This has lead to wide spread transmission of Parkinson's disease. Research shows that…

and gas production. With the rapid “boom” of drilling locations led to some issues. About 4,000 of the wells reported wastewater spills from fracking. With a scientific study it stated that the “surface waters in the area carrying radium, selenium, thallium, lead and other toxic chemicals that can persist for years at unsafe levels.” The scientists sampled water from the locations of the contaminated water and concluded that there were high concentrations of salts, trace metals and other toxic…

In The Disappearing Spoon, Sam Kean explains chemistry broadly yet detailed through interesting and thrilling stories. He talks about the elements on the periodic table and how the table came into existence and why it is arranged the way it is. He also looks deeply into the history and concepts of some interesting elements. In chapter 15 called “An Element of Madness,” he goes into an explanation about selenium, manganese, palladium, barium, and unununium. Pathological science is considered…

Nuclear medicine is used by physicians all over the world, pre-dating Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Ultrasound technology. Tests are conducted using pharmaceuticals in conjunction with specific mechanical imaging, allowing optimal diagnosis for various conditions. Nuclear medicine allows doctors to see inside the body in ways that X-ray, CT, and MRI alone cannot, providing the most accurate way to study and diagnose specific abnormalities within the body’s…

of marks left imprinted in them that no other gun can produce (Owen #). Another weapon the murderer may have used is poison the types of poison are usually different when committing suicide when compared to a murder. Acontine, Aropine, Strychnine, Thallium, Arsenic, Cyanide, fungi poisons, and Ricin are all common poisons used by murderers. Poison from the victim’s death shows up in the blood, urine, and tissue samples taken during an autopsy. Knives and hammers are often used in murders, these…

QUESTIONS 1. Discuss the pathophysiology of coronary artery atherosclerosis. Include discussion of risk factors associated with the development of this disease. (10 points) Coronary artery atherosclerosis is most commonly comprised of atherosclerotic fibrous fatty obstructions of the large epicardial vessels, which provide for blood flow and transport nutrients, oxygen, and elimination of metabolic waste products such as CO2, lactic acid, and hydrogen ions. Coronary artery atherosclerosis…

There is a question in the textile world that always seems to have two answers. “Did humans realize that plants and bugs could excrete dye first, or did humans gain the desire to color their textiles first?” The answer to the question is often debated. With archeologists finding new things everyday, our answers are often re evaluated. Its hard to make a concrete decision when our growth on the knowledge of history is always changing. It can be assumed that dying textiles started in different…
