The "fuel cell cars" currently being advertised are being touted as "having no emissions except water." In a limited sense that is‚ in fact‚ true. However‚ if the entire fuel cycle for the car is considered it most certainly is not. The fuel used by the fuel cell is hydrogen‚ very pure hydrogen. Combined with oxygen from the ambient air‚ the fuel cell produces electricity that powers an electric motor and other devices in the vehicle--just like the battery-driven electric vehicles already on the

Stem cells are the fundamental building blocks to any humans’ life. These cells can "divide multiple times forming hundreds of clones" of themselves (Daley 1). The cells are categorized as pluripotent‚ which means that they are able to develop into any cell of the human body thus‚ they can be used to create healthy tissues or organs that have the ability to replace any damaged tissues along with advancing our medical technology. Stem cell research has the potential to save many lives if we take

For me‚ stem cell research is a more recently discovered passion. After reading a short bit about it in my high school biology textbook‚ I was very intrigued. Stem cell research has so much potential‚ from growing whole organs using new 3D printing technology to therapies for many diseases. I even wrote a paper supporting increased government funding for stem cell research and sent it to my local representative. Last semester‚ for my final paper in my neurology seminar. I was curious about the possibility

Anemia is a disease state that is characterized by a reduction of hemoglobin (Hb) or volume of red blood cells (RBC’s). The reduction in Hb or RBC’s leads to diminished oxygen carrying ability of the blood. Many forms of anemia exist – the anemias discussed will be relevant to our patient‚ JJ‚ based on her signs/symptoms and past medical history (PMH). Anemia can be classified based on the appearance or size of the RBC. The size of the RBC can be determined by either calculating the mean corpuscular
