SEPTA

INTRODUCTION: April 8, 2012 was the Sunday that Easter was celebrated that year. This date will also be forever remembered as the day that Lieutenant Robert Neary and Firefighter Daniel Sweeney lost their lives at the Thomas Buck Hosiery Factory fire in Philadelphia, PA. Since William Penn first founded the city of Philadelphia in 1682, it has been an evolving and growing city, from a 17th century

Understanding Development of Emphysema through Imaging Started in 2012 when I was accepted to the University of Maine, in the school of Biology and Ecology. I had envisioned myself as a medical professional or conducting some type of research that could have an impact on modern society. Taking course after course, learning basic biology, to medical physiology, and eventually applying those concepts into my own research. Mouse lung tissue is the starting point of my research. By creating a histological

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease also known as COPD, is one of the third leading cause of death in the United States (National Heart Lung and Blood Institute [NHLBI], 2013a). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2015) approximately 15 million Americans are affected by COPD, with a morbidity rate of 6.8 million. Data from the CDC from 2011 states that 6.3% of the U.S population suffer from this disease; Florida has the COPD prevalence rate of 7.1% with the highest

The gluteal region is an anatomical area located posteriorly to the pelvic girdle, at the proximal end of the femur. The muscles in this region move the lower limb at the hip joint. The gluteal muscle is composed of three muscles that make up the buttocks: Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius, and Gluteus Minimus. They are supplied by the gluteal nerves and vessels, which reach them through the greater sciatic foramen. The gluteus maximus is the largest of the gluteal muscles and one of the strongest

Describe the gross anatomy of the lungs; And define pneumonia and outline briefly the etiology, pathophysiology and radiographic appearances of alveolar pneumonia. 1. Introduction The lungs are the essential organs of respiration; they are two in number and are placed one on either side within the thorax, separated from each other by the heart. The substance of the lung is light, spongy and porous. The surface is smooth, shining and marked into numerous areas, indicating the lobules of the organs

into the bronchial wall which produce excess mucus. Mucus cannot be cleared due to impaired ciliary function. Defence mechanism of the pulmonary system is impaired and is more prone to pulmonary infection and injury. Emphysema is due to the alveolar septa being damaged. Thus, the air sacs of the lungs are damaged and enlarged. Enlarged spaces within the lung tissue aren’t effective in gas exchange. Gas exchange between air and blood is lost due to the loss of alveolar tissue meaning loss of respiratory

about 8,5cm long and 2.5cm wide. A midline septum divides the scrotum into two halves and each testical is covered in two tunics; the Tunica vaginalis from the peritoneum and the Tunica albuginea which is a deeper tunic and a fibrous capsule. The septa from this layer then divides the testes into 250 – 300 wedge shaped compartments or lobules. It is in these lobules that seminiferous tubules are found, where sperm is made. Each lobule contains about 1 – 4 seminiferous tubules. The network into which

“You look gorgeous, My Lady! Absolutely beautiful! I have never seen such beauty like you in all the Seven Kingdoms, Lady Kang. Perfectly fitting for the next Crown Princess. My Crown Princess-” Seulgi broke out of her trance blanking out into the distance as the plump, cheeky seamstress claps her clammy hands excitedly in childish giggles. Glancing at her reflection in the silver plated mirror on her wall, she is dolled up in an off-the shoulder lilac lace and tulle gown that was tightened up

Viral Entry The envelope proteins of HCV form a heterodimer which helps binding the hepatitis C virus to the receptors present on the hepatocytes membrane. The hepatocyte host proteins help binding of the envelope proteins. low density lipoprotein (LDL) glycosaminoglycan’s (GAGs), and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptors are also involved in enhancing the binding of the HCV virus to the membrane. The virus is entered into the cytoplasm by endosome coated with clathrin. The nucleocapsied

Early studies have documented that bacterial growth increases in space flight; yet, the inherent mechanisms beholden to this growth have not been discovered. As the bacteria devour nutrients, they discharge corollary that can affect growth and impact ultimate cell population denseness. It is acknowledged that these metabolic processes charge a reduction in density of the fluid zone and the solute gradient about every cell. Along this planet, this fluctuation in density leads to an elasticity transfer
