Myotonic Dystrophy Different Types of Treatments Being Tested Today Myotonic Dystrophy: Treatments Being Studied Today As a child growing up I didn’t understand why my uncle was always confined to a wheelchair. I didn’t know why he would sip his drinks through a straw instead of picking up the glass. But now‚ I know my uncle suffers from Myotonic dystrophy‚ a muscular dystrophy that affects the person’s muscles‚ and other body systems (Learning About Myotonic Dystrophy‚ 1). Now

cancers require different therapies‚ many of which can be quite toxic. The most common diagnostic tests used are described. Biopsy A biopsy is the surgical removal of some tissue for the purpose of detailed examination by a pathologist under a microscope (American Society of Clinical Oncology‚ 2012). Biopsy enables definitive diagnosis by identifying the type of cancer‚ and the grade. There are different ways of removing the body tissue‚ again dependent on various factors. Fine needle aspiration

Carbon nanotube 1 Carbon nanotube Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Nanotubes have been constructed with [1] length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132‚000‚000:1‚ significantly larger than for any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties‚ which are valuable for nanotechnology‚ electronics‚ optics and other fields of materials science and technology. In particular‚ owing to their extraordinary thermal conductivity

Borrelia burgdorferi Overview: Lyme disease was first recognized in the United States in 1975 by Dr. Allen Steere‚ following a mysterious outbreak of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis near the community of Lyme‚ Connecticut. The rural location of the Lyme outbreak and the onset of illness during summer and early fall suggested that the transmission of the disease was by an arthropod vector. Adult female Ixodes tick (deer tick) From Brown University In 1982‚ the causative agent

Introduction Identification and classification of bacteria is important to make easier manipulation on the bacteria for various purposes such as for medical‚ research‚ developmental‚ and biotechnicalfieldsThe cell wall is the basis for classification of bacteria according to the Gram stain. Accordingto the chemical make up of bacterial cell wall‚ a staining procedure‚ Gram stain‚ helps usclassify bacteria into two subgroups‚ The cell wall can stain either positive or negative‚depending on its chemistry

(PVP) and titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The size distribution of the TiO2 nanoparticles was measured using transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. The studies on the mechanical properties of composite material indicate that the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles increases its strength. The prepared nanocomposite dressing has excellent antimicrobial efficacy and good biocompatibility

springer.com Preface Many scientific instruments for analyzing specimen surface such as the electron microscope and the Auger electron spectrometer require clean‚ ultrahigh vacuum. The electron microscope and Auger electron spectrometer need fine electron probe‚ requiring a field emission emitter which can well work under ultrahigh vacuum. In the electron microscope and the ion microscope‚ microdischarges due to applying high voltage to electrodes sometime occur‚ resulting in deterioration of
