The Pathway

not in G6PD deficient patients. G6PD deficiency leads to failure in protecting against the oxidative stress which induces damage in haemoglobin and RBC membrane, resulting in haemolysis.14, 47 Cells from other tissues or organs have alternative pathways for the NADPH production and can protect themselves against the oxidative stress. However, because of metabolic…

Self-Driving Cars Self-driving cars are starting to be tested. Self-driving cars have hit the road and is said to be in the market soon. Self-driving cars are cars that drive by themselves and don’t need a driver at all. Several people might say that self-driving cars are useful, but the other half say that self-driving cars are dangerous and could have lots of consequences. Self-driving cars work differently than any car you have ever seen. Self-driving cars have radars, high tech gps systems…

Through the usage of “roadblocks,” such as the usage of blindfolds, Pascual-Leone discovered that the usage of “roadblocks” promote the development of new pathway by blocking other competitive circuits. In the case of my anxiety and OCD, by refocusing my attention to another activity, I can block the firing of the faulty circuits, thus allowing my brain to develop otherwise newer circuits. Once the newer circuits…

I am currently majoring in computer science engineering. It is a field that is reasonably racially diverse but completely dominated by males. In my Computer Science 205 class, there is a total of 5 girls including myself and 30 males. This creates for an interesting class dynamic that I was not aware of until recently. When you walk into the class, all the female students are sitting on one side and the male students are on the other. This means that unless our teacher picks the groups for us,…

Perception Imagine driving down the road and what seems to be coming towards you is a giant black puddle. The puddle keeps transforming in to different shapes as the sun reflects different levels of brightness on the road. You look around and see that it is not raining and you wonder why you would be seeing a puddle. As your car gets even nearer to the puddle suddenly the puddle disappears and all you see is the hot black pavement. This is when you realize that you were not seeing a puddle at…

Gender affects the human race in many different ways. It can be a separating barrier between people. There are stereotypes, such as both genders being unable to communicate effectively, females being moody, and males having no emotion whatsoever, that are only based on what the human race believes as a society. They might also include things like determining what one gender might be able to do better than the other. This brings forth the idea of whether one brain might be better than the other.…

Pathophysiology Glomerulonephritis is an infection of the glomerular membrane which impairs proper function. In the kidney, this membrane is responsible for the filtration of water and associated solutes out of the body while simultaneously keeping plasma proteins in the cardiovascular system. When an alteration occurs, the permeability of the membrane decreases, thus decreasing the overall glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the kidney and leading to complications associated with low…

I was ecstatic. Participating in this fellowship would mean I am taking the leadership pathway and that is the pathway I was looking to be a part of because I think it is probably the best pathway to gain experience that is easily transferable into the work place. The work you do in an internship is very much meant to be work that gives you direct experience in the work environment, rather than other pathways which may give you new things to think about and consider but may not give you…

Background Ovarian cancer (OC) is the seventh most common cancer for women worldwide in 2012(1). In Canada, 17,000 women are living with ovarian cancer, and it is ranked the fifth most common cancer for Canadian Canadian women in 2013(2). According to the recently released surveillance report, 2,700 new cases will be diagnosed in 2014 in Canada?(3). Moreover, it is the most fatal women’s cancer, with the average of 45% 5-year survival rate comparing to 89% of the survival rate for women with…

thriving in the workplace. In order for students to follow their own course, multiple pathways must be available to them. Learning communities, career and technical academies, virtual schools, vocational schools, and independent study all offer children new opportunities to explore and discover their path to success. With the idea of multiple pathways, some concerns arose. People feared that “multiple pathways” is just a fancy term for tracking, which is the idea that students will be…
