Steve Johnson’s, “Why Games are Good For You”, is part of his best-selling book Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today’s Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter, which was published in 2005. Johnson writes about science and culture, specifically the impact of cyber technology on human perception and communication (481). Through this essay, Johnson defends the value of video games, along with other past times that are considered a waste of time. His main claim is that video games teach…

results to a positive nurse and patient relationship. Mesocortical, mesolimbic, and nigrostriatal are types of dopamine pathways in the brain that are responsible in the production of the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Positive signs of schizophrenia are produce by mesolimbic pathway that has an overactive dopamine system (Craft & Gordon, 2015). While mesocortical pathway through an underactive dopamine system is responsible in the production of the negative symptoms of the…

Input also known as resources could be human or financial resources as well as other necessary input to support the program. Activities are those events that produce the output. The output consists of the products and services available for the customers. The customers are the users of the products/services produced at the output level. The outcomes are benefits or changes resulting from activities and output. When it is closely related to the output, it is called short-term outcome. The further…

The YWCA is a non-profit organization in Spokane, Washington that provides women, children, and families in crisis, who are victims of domestic violence and homelessness, with access to services and emergency shelter. The YWCA’s mission is dedicated to “eliminating racism, empowering women, standing up for social justice, helping families, and strengthening communities” (YWCA Spokane, 2017). Since 1903, the Spokane YWCA has been committed to serving a wide variety of needs for women, children,…

6. What is the mechanisms of the acupuncture? In other words, what parts of CNS activated and/or deactivated? (2pts) 1) Acupuncture activates structures of descending anti-nociceptive pathway and 2) deactivates multiple limbic area subserving pain association. 7. What is the effects of opiates and opioids on nociceptor signal transmission? (2pts) Opiates 1) decrease the duration of the postsynaptic potential, probably by reducing 〖Ca〗^(2+)…

This essay will explore the efficacy of organisational policies in providing support for individuals who are affected by a significant life event. It will explore how others deal and respond to significant life events. The suitability of external sources who providing support will be evaluated. The own personal contribution during supporting an individual who experiences a significant life event will be analysed in the form of a reflection. Recommendation through improvement of support which is…

Detailed focus question: What is the process of self-renewal and duplication in breast cancer stem cells through E113, the Wnt-beta catenin signaling pathways and the tumor regulator p53? I. Introduction: To explain the cellular and molecular features of my focus question I will provide background on cancer stem cells, some of the various signaling pathways and breast cancer specifically. A. Cancer Stem Cells (Tumor-initiating cells) 1. Basic Features: Have the capacity to self renew and the…

GBA1 MUTATIONS INTERFERE WITH WNT/β-CATENIN SIGNALING AND LINEAGE DIFFERENTIATION IN GAUCHER IPSC-DERIVED NEURONAL PROGENITORS. Robert Liu*, Ola Awad, and Ricardo Feldman, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD. Gaucher disease (GD) is an inherited lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in the acid beta-glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA1). Mutant glucocerebrosidase (GCase) leads to the accumulation of glucosylceramide and neurotoxic…

Wnt/B- catenin signaling is very active in metastatic breast cancer cells that express a specific gene. Wnt/B catenin signaling is prevalent in breast cancer cells that express micro RNA 374a. The micro RNA 374a directly targets and suppresses the multiple negative regulators of the Wnt-B catenin signaling such as WIF1, PTEN, and WNT5A. The inhibition of B-catenin signaling by the DKK1 or the SFRP1 protein overexpression reduces the expression…

Profitable animal production require high fertility animals that exhibit healthy ovarian follicles, which contributes to estradiol synthesis. Follicle maturation relies on coordination between pituitary hormones and intraovarian signaling pathways. Recently Wnt/beta-catenin signaling has been established as necessary modulators of folliculogenesis in response to FSH. In granulosa cells (GC), beta-catenin is a central key in regulation of aromatase (Cyp19a1) expression. In addition, protein…
