... Pigs are easily raised, have similar organs that are comparable in size and physiology to that of humans. Further more, pigs are free from the known pathogens that would put the general human population at risk, and few would voice ethical concerns about them being slaughtered for transplants since they are currently being killed for human consumption. could affect the overall quality of human life, if perfected. People would suffer less from hemophilia, diabetes, Alzeimers, Parkinson’s diseases, and aids. People would no longer have to wait for transplants from other humans, for the animal supply would be abundant. It would affect me personally much ...
... therapy are used in treating the disorder. Because patients with often suffer from depression as well, antidepressant drugs may be effective. Bulimics, those people with , go through periods of secret binge-eating during which they consume very large amounts of food. Some bulimics then use their fingers to induce vomiting, or they use laxatives to purge the food from their bodies and thereby decrease the body's opportunity to turn food into fat. Symptoms of eating disorders are fear of gaining weight, food obsessions, avoidance of meals, rigid dieting and fasting, rigorous exercise, weight loss, unusual mood states like confusion and lethargy, "chipmunk" che ...
... a 70-kg individual produces about two grams of Creatine a day consisting a turnover rate of about 1.6% a day. The body of a 70-kg individual would contain a total of about 120 grams of Creatine. Approximately 60% of the Creatine is stored in its phosphorylated form, phosphocreatine also known as Creatine phosphate(1). Approximately 95% of the body’s Creatine supply are found in the skeletal muscles. The remaining 5% are scattered throughout the rest of the body, with the highest concentrations in the heart, brains, and testes. A skeletal muscle itself does not produce Creatine, but utilizes the Creatine originating in the liver and kidneys. The human body gets m ...
... functions of identity, memory, or consciousness. If the disturbance occurs in memory, Dissociative Amnesia of Fugue results; important personal events cannot be recalled. Dissociative Amnesia with loss of memory may result from wartime trauma, a severe accident or rape. Dissociative Fugue is indicated by not only loss of memory, but also travel to a now location and the assumption of a new identity. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), although not officially a dissociative disorder, can be classified as part of the dissociative spectrum. In PTSD, re- experiencing of the trauma (flashbacks) alternates with numbing (detachment or dissociation), and avoidance. At ...
... hours (Fig. 1). Until the eight or sixteen cell stage, the individual cells, or blastomeres, are thought to have the potential to form any part of the fetus (Leese, Conaghan, Martin, and Hardy, April 1993). As the blastomeres continue to divide, a solid ball of cells develops to form the morula (Fig. 1). The accumulation of fluid inside the morula, transforms it into a hollow sphere called a blastula, which implants itself into the inner lining of the uterus, the endometrium (Fig. 1). The inner mass of the blastula will produce the embryo, while the outer layer of cells will form the trophoblast, which eventually will provide nourishment to the ovum (P ...
... Nowadays, however, it continues to be practiced in Africa and the Middle East mostly due to social forces. New reasoning developed through the years to keep the ritual going on. The many reasons given for the practice are bewildering and unfounded in any scientific or medical fact. They fall into four main categories: psycho-sexual, religious, sociological and hygienic. Among the psycho-sexual reasons is a belief that the clitoris is an aggressive organ that threatens the male organ and even endangers babies during delivery. It is believed that if a baby's head touches the mother's clitoris during birth, the child will be born with a low IQ. Hence, a girl who is n ...
... up from your sleep, and sitting atop your bed in a cold sweat. How about those moments where we may start dreaming about one thing, and without warning we are snatched into another dream that is completely irrelevant to the preceding one. Why? Mankind has been baffled since the beginning of time as to why they [] occur. Minds from all over the globe have united, and each person has attempted to formulate theories of their own as to why all of this is occurring inside our conscious and subconscious mind. Though none of these theories have been proven to be 100% correct, it probably will not be too long before someone gets on the right track to proving why happen ...
... side-effects. Various studies have claimed that cannabis destroys brain cells. However, several other studies found no structural or neurochemical atrophy in the brain at all. Furthermore, it should be noted that Heath's work was sharply criticized for avoiding safeguards of bias and reporting "changes" that occur normally in the mammalian brain. Wu et al. found a correlation between cannabis use and low sperm counts in human males. This is misleading because a decrease in sperm count has not been shown to have a negative effect on fertility and because the sperm count returns to normal after cannabis use has stopped.. Another claim made was that cannabis cau ...
... and yet incapacitating in others. The fatigue has been described as “brain fatigue” in which patients feel totally drained of energy. This can lead to difficulty concentrating. Most fibromyalgia patients have an associated sleep disorder called the alpha-EEG anomaly. This condition was uncovered in a sleep lab with the aid of a machine which recorded the brain waves of patients during sleep. Researchers found that patients could fall asleep without much trouble, but their deep level (or stage 4) sleep was constantly interrupted by bursts of awake-like brain activity. Patients appeared to spend the night with one foot in sleep and the other one out of it. ...
... version of the hormone testosterone. When taken, either orally or injected, these synthetic steroids fool the body into thinking that testosterone is being produced and therefore the body shuts down functions involving testosterone (Mishra 2). Given the right training stimulus and diet, these steroids enables the user to process protein into muscle fibers at astonishing rates, creating increased muscle size and strength with a drop in body fat (due to an increase in metabolic rate) . They are, in effect, the chemical essence of manliness, physical power and masculine aggression (Nichols 38). Synthetic steroids were developed in the 1930’s to rebuild and pre ...
