It may be chronic‚ caused by narrowing of the coronary artery over time. It can be acute‚ resulting from a sudden rupture and formation

Reflecting upon my experience at the Cadron Settlement Park‚ I perceived the Cherokees’ experience that the Trail of Tears were presented‚ yet the difficulties that these Native Americans faced were misconstrued throughout the Trail of Tears site.

infectious protein contains high proportion of beta sheet in place of normal alpha helix. The increased content of beta sheet in PrPSc leads to the formation of aggregates resistant to proteases that assemble into amyloid fibers and accumulate to form plaques in brain cells (2). Prions are extremely small unique pathogens and have no nucleic acid. The PrpSc protein cannot self replicate but causes other normal prion proteins to change the conformation making them infectious. The process by which the infectious
