Histology Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? The purpose of this exercise is to become more familiar with microscope and slides through observations of tissues. By looking at so many slides I am now much more comfortable at identifying some basic structures. The tissue slides were very important to my understanding of the tissue's function. By looking at the dense regular tendon I can see how supportive it is because of all of the fibers present. It connected what I had read and
beginning to end electronically embedded tissue tracking system. “Smart” software was installed into the Lab assistant existing PC’s within the department, programmed to interface with an electronic cassette patient information embedding machine. As patient information was retrieved singularly from the implemented program, the specimen count, type, source, and patients name is verified by the lab assistant, and then accepted or denied. If accepted, the cassette embedding machine would then electronically
While cancer is referred to today as the "Modern plague" and treated through radiation and chemotherapy, thousands of years ago, the Egyptians applied arsenic paste and ate uteruses to combat what the Greeks described as "carcinoma" or a crablike bulge (David and Zimmerman 2010, 728). Although cancer was relatively rare prior to the sixteenth century, there appears to be some archaeological record of tumor masses in the bodies and writings of the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In Egypt, the Papyrus
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a disorder that is characterized by degeneration of the hippocampal and cortical neurons of the brain – causing memory impairment and a decline in cognitive abilities. The current study by Ghoneim et al.1 focuses on the role of three proteins in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s. Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling is important for development and maintenance of normal neuronal circuits in the brain. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is expressed by astrocytes
Tissue microarray Tissue micro arrays (TMAs) was introduced by Kononen et al. in 1998 157. This technique is based on the assembly of separate tissue cores on a paraffin block, which may contain up to 1000 cores. TMA can be used for several purposes, in which the detection of protein is the most common. In this thesis, prognosis/outcome based arrays was applied to evaluate the prognostic value of various proliferation markers. Several advantages and disadvantages are associated with TMA compared
each animal is recorded daily before and during the exposure period, as well as the recovery period for satellite groups. Sample Collection Samples are collected for the following analysis: haematology, clinical biochemistry, toxico-kinetics, and histology. The haematology and clinical biochemistry analysis are conducted in the Toxicology Laboratory at the University of Queensland, while the

Case Analysis Kaspersky Lab: From Russia with Anti-virus Industry Background: Software Security Cybercrime has become a fast growing concern for the 21st century as businesses, institutions and individuals grow into an interconnected web of computer networks. Online business transactions, along with the sharing of personal information, are vulnerable to a host of disasters that can reap economic and social havoc. Some sources say that today, cybercrime costs more than $1.0 trillion to society--Global
Executive summary The information within this report will give the reader an in depth look into the cyber-mercenary group known as the ‘Desert Falcons’. They operate out of the Middle East, particularly Palestine, Egypt and Israel and are distinctly interested in the political and information landscape of their region. The Desert Falcons display limited scope for attacks against major powers at this point in time, rather, they concentrate their attacks on local power players. This includes local
