types of autoimmune disorders. An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue by mistake. What causes this to take place? Inside the human body we have white blood cells that secure againist destructive substances in the body immune system. A few examples include bacteria, viruses, toxins, cancer cells, and blood and tissue from outside the body. When the immune system has been attack it produces antibodies that protect against anitgens,…

of the most significant being, whether or not people should be given legal ownership of, and/or control of their tissues. It is my belief that people should have ownership rights over their own body and what is derived from it, after all if an individual doesn’t have rights over their own body what rights do they have? On a regular basis, individuals are having their blood drawn, tissue removed, or even removing a body part with absolutely no information despite their consent on certain…

Due to restricted blood flow and exposed necrotic tissue arterial ulcers have a high risk of infection. Signs and symptoms to look out for include inflammation and redness around the wound, increase in slough and exudate, and an increased change in pain as arterial ulcers will typically hurt even when not infected (Grey, 2006). When an infection is suspected, the doctor should be notified and a wound swab and bloods may be required to be done by the nurse. Anti-bionics should also be recommended…

The main types of sarcoma are bone, and soft tissue sarcomas. It appears in every section of the body, mostly in the arms, and legs. More than 50 various kinds of sarcoma have been accounted for which can be categorized into two main types: bone sarcoma, osteosarcoma, http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/what-is-cancer/how-cancer-starts/types-of-cancer and soft tissue sarcoma. Some examples of soft tissue sarcoma can be chondrosarcoma, cartilage cells’ cancer, and rhabdomyosarcoma…

OF LIVER CIRRHOSIS Cirrhosis, also called hepatic fibrosis is a chronic disease that causes cell destruction and scarring of hepatic tissues. Scar tissues form because of long term disease or injury. Cirrhosis impairs the liver’s ability to function normally because scar tissue can not do what healthy liver tissue does. Scar tissue replaces the healthy liver tissue and blocks the normal flow of blood through the liver. Cirrhosis is a potentially life threatening condition because it affects the…

of an injury. Inflammation is a response to cell damage within body tissue and is a chain of events that aids in repairing, reforming or even forming new scar tissue. Inflammation occurs when excess pressure, friction, overload, over-stretching or impact trauma is applied to a certain area. There are five main effects of inflammation. The first is swelling. Swelling happens due to the bleeding from torn blood vessels and tissue fluid leaving the cells around the affected area. Swelling also…

however, scientists across the world were using her tissue for medical advancement sixty-two years later. The problem is neither Henrietta Lacks or the family after she passed gave consent to these studies that occurred for years. The HeLa genome provided many discoveries in the fields of cancer, vaccines, viruses, and cells in general. Henrietta Lacks and her family did not have the rights to potential earnings from these discoveries made from her tissue (Zimmer 2013). The question is simple.…

Differential alternative splicing human tissue network analysis of GUK1 Result Figure 4.12: Visualisation of alternative splicing gene GUK1 in human tissues. Differential alternative splicing genes between two different tissues comparison were shown on a different visualisation platform and tools in comparison with network analysis. (A) rMATS analysis. Histogram shows inclusion level ψ, per sample for each tissue comparisons. In this case, only exon 3 found as statistically alternative…

Anderson used microscopic samples of organic tissue found on fossils to prove that the earth was not created billions of years ago and that there is error found in the Conventional paradigm. Due to the cellular make-up of organic tissue, the tissue found on the Triceratops fossil would not have survived billions of years of breakdown and decay. Although these cellular samples could not have remained…

types of cells in early stages of life. In certain tissues these cells act as a type of internal repair system, which divide with almost no limit and repair and replace old or replenish other cells if the person or animal is alive. When stem cells divide they have the chance to become a different type of cell with a more specialized function or stay a stem cell¹. Stem cells are important because they can repair and replace worn out or damaged tissues. Some therapies transplant stem cells to…
