Poison

The Poison in Society Is society poisoned by racism? In the short story, “Poison”, Harry Pope and Doctor Ganderbai have some racial tensions. The story was set during the British Raj; also known as the British rule over India from 1858 to 1947. In the short story, Harry Pope is lying on his bed at home and he seems to think he has a poisonous snake lying on his abdomen. The narrator, Timber, calls the Doctor to come help with the situation. Harry is a British man and Doctor Ganderbai is an Indian

particular piece caught my attention: A Poison Tree. It was not given time to discuss in class, as it was paired with several other poems from both books.  This lack of time was due to the many texts that we had to review in that single session, but it is a reading that I felt needed to be discussed this semester as I find it completely and totally Blake.   The text is found well into the Songs of Experience, and it is only a mere sixteen lines long. A Poison Tree may be brief, but it is quite descriptive

During WWII human experimentation was a big controversy in the medical field. The outburst of human experimentation during WWII resulted in the research of the unethical and vexing cases. For forty years African American males were being used as test subjects to test the spread of syphilis and how it affected the human body. The human experiments of the Tuskegee syphilis study were similar to the other experiments in the sense that the doctors carried out the tests without informed consent. When

Thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations made use of a particular plant that can be commonly found in the Mediterranean region of Western Europe. This plant, with its stunning purple bell-shaped flowers and dark, juicy berries (1), has earned a reputation throughout history for being one of the most poisonous plants that can be encountered in nature (Figure 1). Eating just ten of the berries can prove fatal, and the leaves and roots of the plant can be even more poisonous (1). Aware of its deadliness

Ventilation One big question asked in art is should artist air out their studio or work space. Are they ok just breathing in the particles and other things in the air from their work? Or is it a danger to them? I believe that artists should air out their work space or studio because it often leads to major health problems. We have lost many great artists at a young age due to health problems caused from not ventilating their work space or studio properly. In the past, many artists were getting

Dichloropropene Use on California’s Strawberry Fields California is rich in history. The Golden State was a destination for gold seekers and is still the launching pad for many entrepreneurs. Californians have a special culture for innovation. It is no wonder that Californians are dreamers, go-getters adventurous people. The first gold rushers must have been incredibly ambitious, albeit loco, to cross the entire stretch of North America via covered wagon. It is this spirit of innovation, endless

1. Lithobid also known as lithium carbonate is used for the treatment of manic episodes associated with Bipolar Disorder. Each extended release tablet contains 300mg of lithium carbonate. Due to its formulation, the lithium carbonate is slowly released into the bloodstream over a period of time with the ultimate goal of reaching serum concentrations between 1.0 and 1.5 mEq/L. It is important to understand the drug formulation because if toxicity occurs, activated charcoal will not bind to an ionic

1. The deadliest neurotoxin I can find on the web is Tetanospasmin (other than botulinum which I already have learned about). I believe this is the deadliest toxin because it says that an ant weighs 1500 times more than the dose needed to kill an adult human. Two hundred nanograms is considered lethal, and that is a VERY small number. Tetanospasmin causes muscle spasms when it is found inside the body within the nervous system and it is produced by a bacterium called Clostridium Tetani. The reason

Stefanoni's laboratory conducted the forensic analysis and later proved not certified to conduct analysis of traditional DNA let alone Touch DNA (Waterbury, 2011). Rich (2011) expands on Stafanoni's errors including conducting a body temperature reading the day after Kercher was found instead of on the day, resulting in an estimated time of death without a concise time frame. The knife taken from Solleccito's kitchen failed to show traces of blood and Stefanoni determined that the knife had been

Usage Furosemide is used to treat pulmonary edema, some allergic reactions, and congestive heart failure. Some veterinarians prescribe furosemide for racehorses because it is thought to prevent or diminish the severity of exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage or bleeding from the lungs.
