1. Biot’s respiration named after Camille Biot is an abnormal ataxic breathing pattern, where rapid series of shallow respiration are followed by a period of apnea. In order to known how AMP kinase, knock down leads to Biot respiration in mice; it is necessary to known how AMP kinase affects respiratory rate. AMP kinase is a metabolic sensor and is activated in response to stretching of the lung alveolar cells and other stressors. During respiration, the lung goes through cycles of expansion and contraction (Budinger et al., 2008). When the alveolar cells stretch during expansion, the 5′ AMP-activated ...

According to the Institute of Medicine in the United States of America, the following are the guidelines for weight gain in women of different body mass indeces – Underweight women, i.e. those with a BMI less than 18.5 are required to gain 28-40 pounds, normal weight women, i.e. having a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 are required to gain 25-35 pounds and overweight women, i.e. those with a BMI above 25 to 29.9 are required to gain 15-25 pounds (“Assessing Your Weight”, n.d.). For pregnant women, the required daily allowance (RDA) of the two macronutrients Calcium and Choline should be ...

In the United States, Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy after lung cancer in men with an incident of 126 per 100,000 people. The American Cancer Society (ACS) reported that the number of new cases of men diagnosed with PCa by 2016 will be an approximately 180,890 cases. PCa is still considered as the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Also, the ACS added that the estimation for death will occur from PCa is 26,120 deaths in 2016. Today, many studies stated that mortality rate is gradually decreasing compared with the ...

The field of medicine will continue to move forward (Worboys 117), and this has been indicated by the products produced by laboratory sciences, as well as the development of significant medical products like penicillin, which was made possible through the discovery of ‘macromolecularization’ (Lowy 117). Like the industrialization since the post-World War II era, the field of medicine will continue to move forward (Worboys 117), as was indicated by history, specifically the industrialization period, which shows “development of hospital and laboratory medicine, public health, and the rise of the asylum took place” (Worboys 109). However, when discussing the genomics ...
