Toxic Shock Syndrome Infectious Diseases
774 wordsNecrotizing fasciitis is more commonly known as "flesh-eating disease." It is a rare illness that causes extensive tissue destruction and can lead to death. In Canada, there are 90 - 200 cases of necrotizing fasciitis each year. Some of the Symptoms that can be noticeable or just from the inside of necrotizing fasciitis include fever, severe pain, and a red, painful swelling which spreads rapidly. Death can occur in 12 to 24 hours. When the disease spreads along the layers of tissue that surroun...

Sheet Of Cellulose Nitrate Sheet Of Cellulose Polymers
571 wordsPolymers have been around longer than we have. In fact, polymers are as old as life itself, as all life on earth is based on three types of polymers, namely DNA, RNA, and proteins. But this report is about some of the earliest synthetic polymers, that is, polymers made by humans, specifically, the cellulose derivatives. The very first synthetic polymer was of course leather, a modified natural polymer, an artificially crosslinked form of the proteins found in animal skins. Leather tanning was di...

Fibroblast Growth Factors Genetically Altered Cells
1,149 wordsWe have seen comic material in the movies and on television. The entertainment industry usually shows it in a humorous situation such as Danny Devito and Arnold Schwannager as genetically engineered twins while Michael Keaton was duplicated to make his life easier. Cloning is only achieved after intensive research and experimentation where as in the movies; it is made out to be as easy as 1, 2, 3. Even though animal and human cloning has only been announced recently to the public, it has been ar...

Viral Dna Infectious Disease
817 wordsPolio is an infectious disease that has haunted the lives of many for over 3, 000 years. The first record of Poliomyelitis in the human body dates back to ancient Egypt where inhabitants of the area engraved a documented version of paralytic Poliomyelitis into stone. When indoor plumbing came into use, in the 20 th century, and sewage systems began to develop into complicated public works where waste was dumped into towns' water supplies; that is when Poliomyelitis began to spread. The disease c...

Intelligent Agents Intelligent Design
494 wordsIn the 1930 s and 1940 s, neo-Darwinian synthesis or neo-Darwinism appeared. The theory gave a new look at Darwinism theory. It proved that genetic variations in populations are the result of mutation and recombination. Evolution between one generation and another is a result of genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection. When populations are isolated by geographic barriers the process occurs gradually. The discovery of DNA caused those statements. It proved that the evolution of species hap...

Morals And Ethics Cystic Fibrosis
1,123 wordsCystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease that is present at birth and is characterized by chronic lung infections and the inability to absorb fats and other nutrients from food. When Cystic Fibrosis was first identified in the 1930 s, it claimed the lives of almost all of its victims. Now with medical technology, over two-thirds of CF patients live well into their adult life, however few of them are in perfect health. Cystic Fibrosis, remains however, a serious and potentially fac...

People With Down Syndrome Children With Down Syndrome
1,090 wordsDown Syndrome Introduction What is down syndrome, is it a birth defect or is it a disease. Well actually its a genetic disorder caused by the duplication of all or parts of the 21 st chromosomes. In our society is it fair to be treated differently just because you have genetic disorder. What causes them to be so different. Is it the way they look or is it the way they talk. What can a society do to those that are affected by this disorder. Is it possible to cure this disorder? As we further go t...

1,097 wordsGenetic Therapy that focuses on hemophilia Gene therapy is reinserting certain genes that helps deal with genetic diseases. There are three basic forms of this gene therapy. The first is Gene Inactivation Therapy in which the transferred gene neutralizes the proteins and evens out the amount or rids of the defective proteins. Another type is Gene Augmentation Therapy where the original form of the gene or the normal form of the gene is inserted into one of the cell? s chromosomes. This procedure...

Amino Acids Dna Molecule
245 wordsProtein Synthesis Protein synthesis is the process by which genetic information from the DNA stored in the nucleus is transferred to the ribosomes where it is used to arrange amino acids into proteins. The DNA molecule in the nucleus is unzipped by an enzyme called polymerase. From one of these single strands of a DNA molecule, a mRNA molecule is built. This is accomplished by an enzyme which travels along a portion of DNA between two exons and attaches the opposing base pairs to the backbone of...
