It occurs when the body makes too little of the von Willebrand factor (VWF), a protein that helps blood clot, or when the VWF is misshapen and does not work the way it should. VWF is a carrier for another protein, called factor 8, that helps blood clot. When VWF levels are low or when VWF is not working properly, factor 8 levels are low as well and the body is less able to form stable blood clots. There are four major types of von…

In today’s world it seems like there is a growing number of people that are being plagued with mental health diseases. In particular Alzheimer’s appears to affect a growing number of people each year. Alzheimer’s is considered to be the “sixth leading cause of death in the United States today” (Latest Alzheimer 's Facts and Figures, 2016).

Each of these elements can provide insight in the lack of support for homosexuals as it is not something one is born with but rather learned. Two studies, Lingiardi et. al. (2016) & Village and Francis (2008) examine a number of these different factors that aid in predicting homonegativity, including two that provide strong evidence for homonegativity, religion and personality.
