Saturated fats (SFA), commonly found in animal fats that we consume, has been shown to increase one’s low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by inhibiting LDL receptor activity need for LDL uptake by cell (increasing in blood LDL) and increasing LDL production. This increase in LDL causes it to deposit in the walls of arteries forming plaques; therefore, increasing risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). By lowering the consumption of SFA, it decreases one’s risk of a cardiac event by…

individual lacks a certain clotting factor which prevents bleeding as a result of injury. In order of rarity from most to least, it features type A, B and C hemophilia and various severity levels. Type A hemophilia consists of 90% of cases, in which the individual lacks clotting factor VIII and 70% of patients have a severe level of hemophilia. Type B hemophilia is far less common, in which the person lacks clotting factor IX. (Crosta, P. 2013) Type C hemophilia is when the patient lacks…

cases in 2012” (ProCon.org). Trials in which the pancreas of dogs were removed were responsible for the discovery of insulin, which is important for the lives of diabetics (ProCon.org). Experimentation on chimpanzees is also responsible for a hepatitis B vaccine, and researchers are hopeful that similar experiments on chimps can yield a vaccine for hepatitis C (ProCon.org). Thalidomide, used for the treatment and prevention of a skin disease caused by leprosy, caused birth defects and death…

as, Hepatitis. Hepatitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the liver. There are five types of hepatitis; A, B, C, D, and E. Types B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds of millions of people and, together, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Hepatitis A and E are typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B, C, and D usually occur as a result of parenteral contact with infected body fluids. The first type of Hepatitis is…

About 2 billion people have evidence of past or present infection of HBV, and 248 million of these are chronic carriers of HBV in worldwide. Most of the people currently living with HBV infection are persons that were born before hepatitis B vaccination. The Prevalence of HBV in Iran is around 2% in general populations except Sistan and Baluchestan (3.38%-5%) and Golestan (5%-7%) Provinces that is higher than other parts of Iran. It seems that with the measures of the Ministry of Health,…

be difficult. According to the CDC (2016), there are about 29,700 new infections each year with an estimated 3.2 million people chronically infected. Vaccinations are not available for this strain, but people are encouraged to get the hepatitis A and B vaccines to help protect their liver from further damage. Since treatment for hepatitis C have advanced in recent years, it has been questioned if a vaccine is even necessary (Liang, 2013). I believe it would be less costly to vaccinate people…

Summary Hepatitis B Cause Article (11) Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus that is spread through sexual contact or perinatal transmission (11). Adults with hepatitis b usually have it for a short time and then gets better, this is called acute hepatitis b (11). The virus can cause a long-term effect on individuals, called chronic hepatitis b (11). Having sex with an infected individual without the use of condoms is one way of being infected with hepatitis b, sharing needles with…

(P1) The immense history of Greece could not be possible for the remarkable and influential city-states located throughout the regions. Mycenae, Knossos, and Troy are three revered and questioned palatial sites that operated in similar and opposing ways, partially due to the form and function of the architecture. In the late 1800s into the early 1900s, three archaeologists excavated the individual sites of the Aegean basin. Sir Arthur Evans became known as the British archaeologist who uncovered…

1.6 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Previous in silico research in our laboratory found that H2A.B is highly expressed in one particular cancer type, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (HL) is a type of B cell cancer that affects both men and women of various ages. HL can be divided into two classes: classical HL (cHL) and Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant HL (NLPHL) according to the WHO classification 2008 (Swerdlow et al., 2008). The classical HL accounts for 95% of all HL cases, and it has been further…

Epidemiology Hemophilia is one of the most dangerous inherited bleeding disorders, affecting people from the entire world in equal frequency. Overall, the affected population frequency is low and the diagnosis of this disease is inherited about 70% of the time. Sometimes, hemophilia can occur when there is no family history of it and this is called sporadic hemophilia, having approximately 30% of people with non-inherited hemophilia, caused by a change in the person’s own genes…
