Diverticulitis occurs when bacteria found inside the colon cause infections in the diverticula along the intestinal walls.

Writing and I go together hand in hand well, and I bet this will be one of my favorite courses that I’ll ace with flying colors. I’ve always enjoyed writing, but I think that was because I didn’t realize what all goes into writing
The poetry of Emily Dickinson is one of the most recognizable of the 19th century. Dickinson’s poetry stands out because of its unconventional use of capitalization and punctuation. Her poems contain capitalized words which are not normally capitalized. Her poems are noted for the frequent use of the dash.

1. A Big Bang model of human colorectal tumor growth a. The Authors, members of the Curtis Lab at Stanford University, propose and justify the Big Bang model for colorectal tumor growth. This model is dependent on several characteristics found in samples including the absence of selective sweeps, uniformly high intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) and subclone mixing in distant regions. The model concludes that mutations occurring early in the tumor development will have a larger effect on overall tumor
