Novo Nordisk helps some patients through haemostasis management. Haemostasis is the human body’s physical response to bleeding and hemorrhage (rupture of a blood vessel). It stops bleeding by blocking the vascular breach. Haemostasis has 3 steps: primary haemostasis‚ secondary haemostasis‚ and fibrinolysis. Primary haemostasis consists of vasoconstriction (constriction of blood vessels) and the formation of a platelet plug‚ made by platelets and fibrinogen‚ that blocks the breach. Secondary haemostasis

Diprosopus is also known as craniofacial duplication‚ or two face. There is also a term for it called Craniofacial Duplication this is a very rare disorder where parts or all of the face is duplicated. Some people call it twinning‚ but this can be a very dangerous situation for it is two people in one body. This happens when abnormal activity happens with the protein SHH (Sonic Hedgehog). SHH is a gene has a important role to be able to signal facial issues during development. Diprosopus is the

There are many ethical questions raised when talking about the topic of genetic testing or screening. Some include a God complex or whether is morally and ethically right to perform a test. However‚ I find it ethically wrong to perform genetic testing upon someone without their consent or to use it without their consent . I also find it ethically wrong to change whether or not someone wishes to have a child based upon a percent or pressure from others. I find it extremely ethically wrong to say that

Craniofrontonasal Dysplasia (CFND) is a rare‚ inherited x-linked disorder that results in deformities and abnormalities in the craniofacial area of those who are diagnosed with the disease. It is unusually more prevalent in females than in males and the symptoms tend to be more severe in females as well. Some of the many symptoms associated with this disease include widely spaced eyes‚ an unusually wide mouth‚ a cleft that is located on the tip of the nose‚ and other portions of the face may appear

Also‚ scientists are now able to identify specific chromosomes involved in certain disorders such as Down Syndrome‚ Turner Syndrome‚ and Klinefelter Syndrome. An individual with Down Syndrome has an extra copy of chromosome 21 (“Chromosomal Abnormalities‚” par. 1). Only women can have Turner Syndrome which occurs when a female has only one X chromosome. Females with this disorder may have an array of developmental and medical problems; they are also sterile (“Turner Syndrome‚” par. 1). Klinefelter

Research Article 2: Questions “Cilia and Diseases” 1. Where are cilia found in the human body and what do they do? (2 points) Cilia can be found in the human body located inside almost each cell. Cilia inside the brain serve the function of circulating cerebrospinal fluid. The cilia in the repertory system move particle matter and mucus out of the lungs. 2. Describe the structure of a normal cilia? (3 points) Normal cilia are hair like‚ that extend from the body of a cell into the extracellular

Huntington’s disease is the degeneration‚ or breakdown‚ of neurons within the structures of the brain. The structures affected are responsible for thought‚ perception‚ emotions‚ and memory. The basal ganglia‚ which controls movement and coordination‚ is also affected by the disease. Huntington’s disease is usually developed between the ages of 30 and 50‚ but can still develop earlier or later depending on the person. Juvenile Huntington’s disease is when it is developed in people under 20 years

The patient‚ Amira’s lab values is as follows; Hematology: hemoglobin 10.1 g/dL; hematocrit 25%; platelets 50‚000/mm3; white blood cell count 2‚000/mm3; differential: neutrophils 20%. The chemotherapy treatment‚ causes a variety of side effects. One of the adverse effect is called as myelosuppression‚ where the bone marrow activity is decreased resulting in fewer red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ and platelets (National Cancer
