Not What He Seems Last night was a blast for him. He stole the dance floor, sang like a star, and ate like a king, but today he was found dead in his hotel room, the lifeless corpse of Dominic Francis leaking blood onto his bed, the name “Corcurro” carved into his torso. I, Kurt Wilson, the best friend of the victim, found him. I am a former military soldier of the U.S., and I swore to the lord himself that I would find the killer and avenge my dear friend, Dominic Francis at absolutely all costs

Providing anesthesia for lung transplantation (LT) is considered by many to be a major feat in cardiothoracic anesthesia. Some say it involves the most complex manipulation of cardiothoracic physiology, especially when cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is not used. There are many indications for end-stage pulmonary disease, from obstructive lung disease to pulmonary vascular disease. Traditionally, ventilation strategies for this population included tidal volumes of 8-12ml/kg to prevent atelectasis and

‘Define Biodiversity and using examples, explain why it is important’ Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth. A fuller definition is given in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) from the 1992 Earth summit: ‘Biodiversity is the variability among living organisms from all sources, including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part ; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems’ (Hambler, C., 2004

I knew I was pregnant when my daily meals became breakfast, shortly followed by brunch, then lunch, supper, dinner, dessert and a large snack before bed. It was a glorious time for all of my eating fantasies. Being pregnant was absolutely fantastic and like every other aspect of my life, I was committed to doing it differently. I was finding too much fun not believing anything I was told about having a baby. I did have my suspicions about the birth process, however. One of my suspicions was

PD pathology results from a degenerative process which reduces the function of dopaminergic substantia nigra (SN) neurons below a certain threshold until it manifests as clinical symptoms17. It should be noted that degeneration of the SN is not the sole location of degeneration – regions such as the locus coeruleus, raphe nuclei, basal forebrain, and frontal cortex undergo a similar process17. The pathology is still not fully understood, but the degenerative process has been found to stem from the

ten times more effective than donepezil. Donepezil is the most effective drug discovered to treat Alzheimer’s disease. In this experiment, there were 2 groups of 8 male mice. The first group of mice was induced with amnesia through a drug called scopolamine, while the other group was induced by beta-amyloid peptide. For a week, doses and concentrations of memoquin were administered to the mice every other day. Then, the groups of mice had to go through two different mazes, an object recognition test

Management of a Patient with Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Susanne Frycek Advocate Lutheran General Hospital Introduction Post-Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is defined as any nausea, retching or vomiting occurring during the first 24 hours after surgery (Oxford Journals).

Movies like Star Trek may make space exploration look easy, but it is no walk in the park. Space projects take years of planning and development. Part of the reason why it takes such an extensive period of time is because scientists have to come up with a spacecraft capable of sustaining human life, develop spacesuits that can support human life, and gather nutritious food and medicine for the journey. Obviously, scientists must consider a multitude of variables before sending someone into space

Childbirth is the most amazing experience any woman will ever go through. Almost every point of the experience can be remembered no matter how long ago it occurred. One tends to forget the history of child birth and what it was like for a mother a century ago to deliver her newborn, furthermore, the natural occurrences that happen with the delivery process is unknown to many people that have not experienced it and the numerous delivery options that are available to today’s health conscious mothers

In the 12th century, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, known as the Rambam, was extremely influential as both a Torah commentary and a physician. He produced works in both Biblical and Talmudic studies as well as writings on health of both the mind and the body. He believed that Hashem has created everything including remedies for all illnesses and rules for a healthy lifestyle. He believes that if a sickness can be treated by nutrition, no other means should be used. The Rambam writes about the ideal
