During my period of study here‚ I have taken courses like Biochemistry‚ Molecular Cell Biology‚ Microbiology‚ Immunology‚ Bioprocess principles and engineering‚ Bio and chemical thermodynamics‚ Enzyme engineering. These courses took me a step closer towards fulfillment of my goal of delving deeper into the world of ‘cloned Dollies’ and ‘Docile DNA’. The fascinations and promises held out by various areas in molecular biology‚ biochemistry and

biological or medical approach regards abnormality as illness or disease. Mental illness is thought to be related to the physical structure and functioning of the brain. There are four possible causal factors of abnormality: brain damage‚ infection‚ biochemistry and genes. The first factor is brain damage. Abnormal behaviour may occur if the structure of the brain is damaged in some way. Once disease or brain damage has caused mental deterioration there is little that can be done an example of this is

microscopes to study minute anatomical structures‚ and is the field of histology which studies the organization of tissues at all levels‚ from cell biology (previously called cytology)‚ to organs.Anatomy‚ human physiology (the study of function)‚ and biochemistry (the study of the chemistry of living structures) are complementary basic medical sciences that are generally taught together (or in tandem) to students studying medicine. In some of its facets human anatomy is closely related to embryology

A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is an intensive care unit specializing in the care of ill or premature newborn infants. The first official ICU for neonates was established in 1961 at Vanderbilt University by Professor Mildred Stahlman‚ officially termed a NICU when Stahlman was the first to use a ventilator off-label to assist a baby with breathing difficulties. A NICU is typically directed by one or more neonatologists and staffed by nurses‚ nurse practitioners‚ pharmacists‚ physician assistants

are: * Drinking alcoholic beverages. * Having alcoholic substances. What organ it effects? It affects several organs. For example: * Brain: Drinking a large amount of alcohol causes damage to the brain. It can lead to the hepatic encephalopathy that is known as a fatal brain disorder. * Liver: Basically‚ in taking of alcohol means in taking of toxins. Liver tries to get rid of these toxins by breaking them but the liver turns out fatty. Alcohol results in an increase in the

Sports have made a huge impact in people’s and communities lives. The article “Hard Knocks” is all about how football might be just too dangerous to play. Even some people have been severely injured while playing football. The long term negative health effects of high impact sports injuries are concussions and C.T.E.’s. Football is one of the many sports that causes concussions‚ which can lead to long term effects. “Bryce Monti was about to make a routine tackle when he knocked heads with one
