INTRODUCTION When picking out your mascara or eyeliner, do you even stop to think what is in that product or what the process is to make it? You could be supporting animal testing and not even know it. According to PETA, it is estimated that each year 26 million animals in the United States are used for animal testing(2017). As many may believe that animal testing is the only way to find out new things or test products, it is not, there are new alternatives that scientists have found like in vitro

services. However, these practices earn a considerable about less. The average salary is $60,000 - 65,000 per year. (AVMA n. pag.). Today’s veterinarians also have the option to specialize in a number of areas such as radiology, pathology, toxicology, and oncology. These veterinarians will perform general duties like dressing wounds, setting broken bones, and prescribing medication, but will utilize their additional training when

Many people believe that energy drinks are healthy and beneficial. There are also people who believe that energy drinks’ potential harms outweigh the benefits. The supporters of energy drinks say that it is okay to consume them in moderation. Opponents of energy drinks say that they should be banned all together. There are supporters who think that energy drinks are good for you. First, those in favor of energy drinks say that energy drinks are not that bad for you. According to the article “What

There are many careers that you can become with a chemistry degree, such as a pharmacologist and learn how drugs are properly used for or even a toxicologist who research potential harm caused by chemical to help establish regulations to protect the public. Being a forensic scientist is to be believed as being a hero due to the fact that how much help you can do in cases. This job has a great salary but many it has many different work hours and is a cutthroat job. There are plenty of benefits and

Effects of Smoking and Pregnancy William Franklin Stewart Marshall University January 19, 2010 Thesis Statement Smoking during pregnancy is associated with many adverse outcomes for children as well as negative consequences for child health and development. Maternal smoking late in pregnancy reduces birth weight and size. Babies that are born to habitual smokers "weigh, on average, about 9 oz. less, and are shorter both at birth and in the years to come" (Berger 115). Nicotine is the addictive

History: Some 150 years ago lung cancer was the odd disease. In 1878 its occurrence was seen as malignant tumors in Germany and it represented only 1% cases of its occurrence. By 1918 the percentage raised upto 10%, by 1927 it was greater than 14% and by 1930 it started spreading at higher retes and malignant lung tumors were observed increasing even after world war I. doctors also observed that lung cancer is not only invading males but its rapidly attacking the females also. This was the time

counties have total or partial ban of banned GMOs. GMO’s should be banned from the U.S due to the safety concerns, genetic engineering creating side effects, and the potential to cause cancer. The original study, published in Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT) in September 2012, found severe liver and kidney damage and hormonal disturbances in rats fed the GM maize and low levels of Roundup that are below those permitted in drinking water in the EU, (Tickell). Although GMOs can help crops grow

Animals are appropriate research subjects because they are similar to humans in many ways. (procon.org) They are essential for allowing scientists to learn more about human biology and health, and for creating and developing new medicines. (yourgenome.org) Animal research helps save and preserve lives. Animals themselves gain from the results of animal testing. Because vaccines were tested on animals would have died from rabies. Infections, hepatitis viruses, and canine pro virus. Animals are used

1. How do cellphones work? These work by the signals which are transmitted to and can be received from the base station (usually located close by) through RF wave. RF wave is a type of electromagnetic wave with a frequency range of 300GHZ widely used in radio communication and in applications such as heating. RF waves along with FM waves, microwaves, visible light and heat come under non-ionizing radiation. RF does not cause cancer. These waves are different from radiations i.e. x-rays, gamma

Non clinical Studies The discovery of new drug without involving human subjects is called as non clinical studies. Goals of non-clinical testing of Biologics are: characterization of potential adverse drug effects, identify end organ toxicities, identify reversibility of toxicity , characterization of pharmacokinetic profile, characterization of beneficial pharmacodynamic effects -proof
