unrousable unconsciousness. (Martin (2002)) There are two types of diabetes: Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is a rare metabolic disorder‚ the symptoms of which are the production of large quantities of dilute urine and an increased thirst. It is caused by a deficiency of the pituitary hormone Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH / vasopressin) which regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys. (Martin (2002)) Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has symptoms of polyuria‚ wasting and glycosuria (mellitus means ’sweet urine ’) as

Annotative Summary A: Strength of Indian Heritage The article on “Indian Tradition Helps Shed ‘Drunk Town’ Image” has underlying issues regarding the strength of “native” heritage. Residential schools of the 1800’s did a good job of suppressing the language‚ heritage‚ land‚ and spirit of native people of North America. In supressing these aspects of a culture‚ the factors that sustain a race’s cultural prevalence are weakened. Prime Minister Stephen Harper admitted in his 2008 formal apology

Researchers have identified the activity of Silver NPs exerted the antibacterial effect in two steps. First‚ they changed the membrane potential and reduced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase activities‚ thus reducing the metabolism process. Secondly‚ they declined the subunit of the ribosome for tRNA binding‚ thus collapsing its biological mechanism. At the same time‚ they proved to be less toxic to mammal cells [26]. Silver NPs with a small size and enhanced surface area produce some electronic

Despite the ability of cancer cells to rapidly divide in the absence of trophic factors‚ they still require some source of energy. It has been well established that cancer cells‚ like non-cancer cells‚ utilize glucose as a primary energy source. Not only do cancer cells utilize glucose‚ but they take up the molecule in large quantities. This was explained decades ago by Otto Warburg‚ resulting in what is now referred to as the Warburg Effect1. The Warburg Effect explains how cancer cells alter
