were given diet coke and even after eating fewer calories, diet coke drinkers put on 14% more body fat than the rats that drank regular coke. You never thought you would hear the word “deadly” and “diet coke” together, did you? According to an 11-year long Harvard Medical School study “more than 3,000 women, researchers found that diet cola is associated with a two-fold increased risk for kidney decline. Gibson 2 Kidney function started declining when women drank more than two sodas a day. Even more
have been controversial in studying thyroid cancers. Better understanding of different mechanisms helped researchers achieve a step forward in managing thyroid cancers. It remains positive to be seen whether new therapeutic combinations could increase long-term survival for thyroid cancers.
abnormalities. It is fairly common, especially in children and women, yet unfamiliar to most people who are not diagnosed with it. There are three types of SVT: atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. All three types have the same symptoms during episodes, which can last from seconds to hours and include palpitations, fatigue, dizziness, etc. However, the three types have different causes, all of which are unknown. To detect this condition
Gene patenting is the practice of allowing a company to patent specific gene sequences that are found within the human body. It is a highly controversial topic that has been debated upon for years, coming into the spotlight time and time again as people question both its benefits and its drawbacks. While gene patenting benefits the patent holding companies, its effects on society are both detrimental and it impedes progress. Gene patenting has negative consequences on the general public and obstructs

1-What is the physiological role of histamine? Histamine is a biogenic amine involved in local immune responses as well as regulating physiological function in the gut and acting as a neurotransmitter. Histamine triggers the inflammatory response. It increases the permeability of the capillaries to white blood cells and other proteins, in order to allow them to engage foreign invaders in the affected tissues. It is found in virtually all animal body cells 2-How is histamine synthesised within the
Drugs have been used to aide in sleep for years and years. There are many types of drugs that people use; opting between non-traditional medications such as herbs and vitamins while others opt for the traditional approach in using prescription drugs. This paper will inform and analyze the drug Zolpidem. Zolpidem is used in the treatment of insomnia. Insomnia is often considered to be a prolonged difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep. This paper will outline the background of Zolpidem;
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the capacity to have a widespread impact on biomedical research and therapeutic approaches to an array of diseases and disorders. These stem cells are of extreme potency because they can self-renew in culture while maintaining the capability to become virtually any cell type (Zhu and Huangfu, 2013). While there are many ethical concerns regarding embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells arise from adult somatic cells that can be reprogrammed
INTRODUCTION NERVOUS SYSTEM The?nervous system?is the part of human body that coordinates the voluntary and involuntary actions of the human and transmits signals between different parts of its body.?The nervous system is our processing system, and the system that keeps us in contact with the outside world. It tells us that we exist, and along with the muscles allows us to move and react to stimuli. Our consciousness resides in our nervous systems, as do our thoughts and emotions. In short, the
