The Pathway

This article focuses on the ways we can be influenced into having maladaptive eating behaviors. The author explains that a better way to understand those influences is by looking at three pathways that link culture to eating disorders. She first talks about the transmission of dietary patterns within families. While families from one culture enjoy eating small portions of food, other families prefer big servings. Furthermore, when parents…

intensity activity. Being that this duration is 15 seconds, the body will need energy at a faster rate to produce ATP. Glycolysis will not be included in this particular test, due to rapid amount of energy is needed. The ATP-PCr will be an essential pathway to assist the muscle actions of the legs, to increase and generate more force in the performance to produce higher values in mean values in capacity and relatively. 4. Was there a drop-off in anaerobic power during the Wingate Test? Why?…

Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for various types of infections including skin and also respiratory tract infections. S.aureus can infect tissue when if the defensive line such as the skin or mucosal barriers had been breached. The infection caused by this bacteria can be spread in different modes such as direct contact from an infected wound, contact with the hyaluronidase, an enzyme produced by the bacteria that destroys tissues or even skin to skin contact with an infected person.…

many patients are living longer, more active lives, moving them into a new era of supporting patients from childhood into adulthood. This wonderful development also creates informational needs from the MPS professional community stakeholders. MPS Pathways will aid children, families, and adults affected by MPS, guiding them in vulnerable arenas of everyday life. Examples of support to the patient may include (on-site and…

Web silks from spiders may hold the key on how to repair human bones, according to the researchers at the University of California San Diego and the University of Texas. The study also discovered a specific gene that may initiate biomineralization in human stem cells. Initiating biomineralization can activate bone formation which leads to bone regeneration or osteoregeneration. Biomineralization is a biological process which allows an organism to produce minerals. These minerals are often used…

The secrets to aging and immortality lie in the genetic build up of each person. The way you are uniquely produced is what creates the type of person you are or will be. Though these genetic compositions are a dense and quite complex system to understand, and even in this era of advanced futuristic technology, DNA has not been able to be studied one hundred percent. This is what “The Secret of Genes” shows, this documentary exhibit’s how the build of different proteins, oxygen, and your…

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease which is characterized by hyperglycemia, glycosuria and hyperlipidemia that in the long-term increase the probability of developing diabetic complication such as macrovascular and microvascular then complication increase mortality and morbidity. In microvascular includes diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common chronic complication of diabetes mellitus that develops in about…

(Healthline, 2012) have quantified that a smokers lungs are damaged in such a way that gaseous exchange and air flow is affected by: “stiffening of air sacs, degradation of wall between air sacs, thickening and inflammation of air pathway walls and increasing mucus in the air pathways, causing build-up and air obstruction.” Here is a photo representation of damage to the…

(ternary and higher orders) and it is difficult to explain the mixture toxicity based on the mechanism action of chemicals due to complexity of interaction. 7. High throughput in vitro assays are extremely useful to determine mixture effect on toxic pathway and associated outcome of toxicity. In short, data from this current study suggest that the combined toxicity of PAHs and metals is dose, and mixture type, and biological endpoint dependent. The traditional addition of dose or effect may…

When a projectile is thrown, it is set in motion along a straight horizontal pathway. In outer space, a projectile will keep following that pathway. Near the Earth's surface, the influence of gravity begins immediately and affects the entire course of the projectile's flight. A projectile's horizontal velocity remains constant. It does not accelerate. But the force…
