Upon physical exam, three signs that are analyzed are that she weighs 160lbs and is 5 feet 6 inches which indicates that she is overweight, suggestive of osteoarthritis. The consumption of e-cigarettes and alcohol has

Etiology- What causes this disease? The etiology of Hyperparathyroidism disease is the deficiency or low levels of parathyroid hormone that leads to an increased level of phosphate and a low level of calcium in the human blood. The majority of the cases of hyperparathyroidism are caused after the surgery for malignant and benign thyroid disorders and post-surgery for neck and head cancers. Moreover, neurosurgical etiologies of hyperparathyroidism include autoimmune destruction

Introduction Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD is an umbrella term that refers to a group of inflammatory disorders which mainly affect the intestine when the immune system attacks a harmless bacteria or virus in the gut eventually leading to bowel injury that is caused due to inflammation in the intestinal tract. Symptoms of IBD and related diseases include diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal cramps, iron deficiency, fever, and anemia. The major

Etiology- What causes this disease? This cancerous disease begins in the final part of the digestive tract in the large intestine of a person called the colon. There are many possible reasons that can cause colon cancer including years of obesity, type II diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), etc. If a person has ever had Crohn’s disease (a chronic abnormal immune response that affects the digestive system) or ulcerative colitis

Within the enormous avenues for self-discovery, a personalized trip into your genetic makeup can be revealed with the help of your DNA. The rapidly expanding field of genetic testing has made it possible to gain previously unattainable insights into your family history, general health, and well-being. What if your DNA contained a roadmap that provided a personalized account of your life? The purpose of this investigation is to shed light on

RNA Ribonucleic acid, or RNA, is a long, single-stranded chain of nucleic acid cells that contains proteins. Phosphate groups and the sugar ribose make up the backbone of RNA molecules (Lambert, 2001). RNA is an example of a cell chain that transports the genetic information of numerous viruses from the cell to the cytoplasm. All living cells include the macromolecule RNA, which is critical to the functioning of the cell.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of respiratory passageways, particularly the mucosa, causing narrowing of the respiratory passaging ways, which can ultimately cause difficulty in breathing. It may cause constriction of pulmonary smooth muscles and periods of bronchoconstriction, i.e., bronchial hyperactivity. Two main types of asthma exist in respective patients: allergic and non-allergic. In both categories, bronchial hyperactivity is evident in all cases (Fricker et al., 2020). Multiple asthma symptoms

Generally, the biological processes of respiration and photosynthesis work through mutual relationships. However, there are differences between the biological processes of photosynthesis and respiration in terms of their functionality. This essay tends to unveil the comparative elements of photosynthesis and respiration in terms of their functionality. Photosynthesis is a biological process that takes place only in phototrophs (all green plants and some bacteria) to make energy. Photosynthesis is known as

Diffusion is the movement of a substance down the concentration gradient, moving from a higher concentration region to a lower concentration. Using a bag made up of a semi-permeable dialysis membrane, the first experiment focuses on the process of diffusion. A solution of glucose and starch is placed inside the dialysis bag. With the help of test tape, the presence of glucose is established. Later, a solution of iodine potassium

Case Study: Summary Armando Dimas is a Latin American who has been shot in the neck and the left temple (damaging the skull). After going to an emergency room at a local hospital, Armando Dimas was taken to Hermann Hospital. At the hospital, Armando is examined by Dr. MacDougall. After examining the gunshot wounds and the medical condition of Armando Dimas, the medical staff, including Dr MacDougall, have made the

Biochemical Tests The biochemical tests conducted in this lab are to test the presence of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. Three types of carbohydrates will be tested: starch, reducing sugar (glucose), and non-reducing sugar (sucrose). The test for checking the presence of starch is demonstrated first. Add iodine, which is of brownish-orange colour, to a sample of starch in a test tube. As a result, the solution would turn bluish-black, establishing

The transportation of molecules or substances in a mammalian cell depends upon the permeability of molecules/substances across the phospholipid bilayer membrane. The plasma membrane is very permeable; therefore, it lets several materials arrive and exit the cell while preventing the movement of others that might be harmful altogether. This selectivity is central to the cell’s survival, as a cell that is unable to sustain itself may be destroyed. In a

Embryo Research Introduction Bioethical guidelines are used to define the moral boundaries of medical practice and research. The integration of these principles is imperative to ensure that treatments and research do not involve malpractices. This is especially important when dealing with human subjects. Often, researchers conduct studies that may benefit society and help develop the scientific field. However, not all studies are free of bioethical controversies. One such research was

Introduction In medical science, one of the most important aspects is that of bioethics, which must be integrated into day-to-day practice to guide an ethical pathway that may not always be clearly outlined. These ethical endeavours are often challenged in case of emergencies and crises, thereby testing the general rules and principles of ethics. In such emergency scenarios where the magnitude of impact is at a large scale, medical professionals

Introduction Shigella is regarded as one of the oldest human-specific pathogens that evolved approximately 35000 to 170000 years ago. This period is significantly important as the only hosts of this bacteria, i.e. the homo sapiens, also originated and expanded during this time. It belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family. The genus Shigella comprises four species which cause millions of cases of shigellosis every year. Basic Characteristics Shigellae is a gram-negative, non-motile
