Introduction

The Transcription elongation factor B, polypeptide 1 is a protein variant that in the species Homo sapiens is encoded by the TCEB1 gene also referred to as SIII or eloC (National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), 2015, sec. 1). Structurally, the SIII Complex is a heterotrimeric compound composed of three elongins sub-units – elongins A and A2 (110kD), B (18kD), and C (kD). However, further analysis divulges that elongin C protein is a subunit of the transcription factor B framework (otherwise referred to as elongin SIII complex) (GeneCards, 2014, sec. 1). Functionally, the SIII compound purpose is the activation of Continue reading...

In the recent years we have witnessed a spate of wrongful convictions overturned by DNA evidence including those on death row. The primary reason why most of the exonerated were convicted initially was mistaken identification. The victim of a violent crime such as rape is usually traumatized by the incident and suffers a great deal of emotional damage even over several years after the crime. They are usually in severe shock and filled with shame due to the nature of the crime itself. Unless the crime was committed by someone they knew for a long time, it makes identification Continue reading...

Abstract:

Diabetes is a disease caused by high blood glucose levels due to underproduction of insulin in the body or cell resistance to already produced insulin. The disease is characterized by hyperglycemia that leads to non-enzymatic protein glycation. Mass spectrometry techniques have been developed to give highly specific, reproducible and reliable results in the proteomics field especially in monitoring the progression of diabetes, the complications that arise from it, and the effectiveness of therapeutic treatments. An overview of mass spectrometry and current methodology such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) indicates that the technique has certain limitations in terms of Continue reading...

Abstract

Radiation cataractogenesis (RCG) is deterministic. It does not occur below a minimum threshold dose. RCG is generally believed as dose-related. Sliney (1986) believed that its severity is also dose-related. The severity increased and the latency decreased as radiation dose increased above that threshold. The lens of the eye is nonvascular and is known to experience no cell loss over its lifetime, indicating that any damage to its cells will not result to the removal of these cells for lack of existing mechanism. Three induction mechanisms were explored (direct, indirect, and oxidative, which separately creates oxidative stress inside the lens Continue reading...

I Court Jurisdiction
Jurisdiction is defined as the authority of a court to take cognizance of a case. Jurisdiction can either be horizontal or vertical. In the former, a lower court must first try a case before it can be appealed to a higher court. In the latter, a court can only hear a case involving a matter within its authority to hear. This is also known as a court of limited jurisdiction. The US has also two court systems, namely the federal court system and the state court system. Nonetheless, a case heard by state courts can be Continue reading...

Introduction

The ‘hepatitis’ word comes from the Ancient Greek word ‘hepat’, which means liver and in Latin, it means inflammation. In simpler words, hepatitis means injury to the liver that can Continue reading...

The debate of nature vs. nurture conveys the importance of science and environment in shaping the individuals. The debate is fundamental to human beings as it determines whether the personality, sexuality and behavior of individuals are a result of genetic evolution or social influence . It is a proposed relationship between the internal biological factors and environmental factors, and the influence they wield on the development of human beings. Francis Galton was the first person to use the phrase nature vs. nurture influenced by Charles Darwin’s treatise “The Origin of Species” . While Galton argued that human beings are the Continue reading...

Infectious Diseases and Public Health: AIDS/HIV

Abstract:
Human immunodeficiency virus infection causes Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The infection was first discovered in US in the year 1980 and currently the country has a high prevalence with 417 HIV positive individuals for every 100,000 people. Social stigma and discrimination against the affected people is an important factor hindering, public health care efforts, in reaching the patience, providing care and preventing the diseases spread. HIV is comparatively easier to control than other air born infectious diseases and can be prevented by taking suitable precautions. Safe and protected sexual practices and disuse of infected needles and blood can Continue reading...

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was a scientific research project whose goal was to map the gene sequence of human beings. HGP was initiated and sponsored by the U.S government, but involved institutions and scientists from different regions of the world such as Japan, China, Germany, the U.K and France, making it the largest collaborative scientific research project of its kind. The project mapped about three billion base pairs (estimated to nbe between fifty and a hundred thousand genes). It started in 1990 after four years of development and planning and ended thirteen years later in 2003. Interestingly, the Continue reading...

Patients admitted for acute mental health conditions need to adhere to follow-up consultations for treatments and other interventions intended to prevent deterioration and acute exacerbations. However, the rate of adherence to scheduled appointments may sometimes be suboptimal with eventual drop-out from treatment. The drop-out rate based on a national survey was found by Olfson et al. (2009) to average 22.4%. Missing appointments is commonly due to patients forgetting about the schedules. A quality improvement (QI) initiative was developed and implemented by Filippidou et al. (2014) to improve appointment adherence rates in the mental health outpatient setting. This paper discusses Continue reading...

Introduction

It is puzzling to know why oils are liquid while butter is solid when they are both oily and greasy. Not all oils are solid in room temperature or in the fridge. By studying chemistry we get to understand why such phenomenon occurs, which is not only restricted to oils and fats but to almost the entire materials we find on Earth.

Discussion

Butter is solid and gets harder when left in the fridge. By understanding the states of matter, we have come to understand that there are three phases of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. We have also learned Continue reading...

A microwave oven is one of the most widely used kitchen equipment in the world. The history of microwave dates back to 1946. It was invented by an engineer named Spencer who was an employee of Raytheon Corporation. Spencer was involved with research in magnetrons. Its discovery was a by-product of another idea that was used in the warfare. The idea came as a result of research into radar technology using magnetrons. Spencer had a candy bar in his pocket in the laboratory and he realized later that it had melted. His investigations revealed that the candy bar was Continue reading...

Introduction

E. coli is a representative of the normal bacterial composition (microflora) of the human gastrointestinal tract. Escherichia coli infant receives from his mother at birth, and then multiplies and persists throughout life. In the large intestine, where most of these bacteria are localized, they perform some very important functions: protection against pathogens and curbing the growth of opportunistic pathogens; synthesis of vitamin K, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12; it breaks down milk sugar (lactose); involved in the digestion of proteins and carbohydrates; involved in the processing of cholesterol, bile and fatty acids; assimilate oxygen, contributing to the development Continue reading...

Antioxidant definition and general function

Antioxidants are chemical compounds which can delay the start or slow the rate of lipid oxidation reaction in food systems. These are substances that oppose oxidation or inhibit reactions promoted by oxygen or peroxides, of which many are being used as preservatives in various products. (Gupta, 2015)
Antioxidants occur in many foods including fruits and vegetables, pasta and cereals, vegetable oils and green tea. The most common antioxidants are vitamin A, C and E, chemicals found in plants like flavonoids and carotenoids, and minerals such as selenium (Eat Right Ontario, 2015).

Antioxidants Classification based on Mechanism of Action

Non-enzymatic antioxidants interfere with chain reactions of free Continue reading...

Between July 1982 to 2001 a serial killer ran rampant within the Green River area, where 48 women eventually went missing. While several of the bodies have been found and laid to rest, there are still several others that have not been found or identified. Serial murderer Gary Ridgway pled guilty in 2003 to the known murders, but has professed that there are even more that have remained unsolved. To date Ridgway is incarcerated at Washington State Penitentiary where he is being held on life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Gary Leon Ridgway was born in Salt Lake Continue reading...

Overview of Cancer

Cancer is a multifactorial and very complex disease that affects various organ systems of the human body and afflicts millions of people worldwide. There are hundreds of specific cancer types and are usually grouped together by the tissue of origin. There is no single cause of cancer, although several risk factors may make a person more likely to develop this condition. Cancer may be caused by interplay among a multitude of exogenous carcinogens which may be physical, biological or chemical, and various endogenous biological processes within cells. Some characteristics of human cancers include rapid and unregulated cell proliferation, reduced Continue reading...

Introduction

Genetically modified organisms are those created through transgenic modifications – “transferring genetic material between non-similar organisms” (Evenson and Santaniello 201). Transgenic modifications originated with the discovery of the recombinant DNA (rDNA) in the 1960s that prompted aggressive scientific experiments on the genetic structure of organisms through biotechnology. Evenson and Santaniello define biotechnology as the use of biological organisms to address human problems” such as food shortages due to the burgeoning global population (201). This technology faces criticism on the basis that GMO foods may pose irreversible dangers to health and the environment. The lack of transparency regarding genetic modification has Continue reading...

Introduction
The term steroid was coined by Callow and Young for a particular type of compounds containing hydrogenated cyclopentenophenanthrene-ring scheme. Steroids develop naturally inside the body. These compounds are associated chemically with cholesterol. Steroids include sterols, cardiac aglycones, bile acids, certain poisons and saponins (Schoenheimer and Evans Jr 139).
There are various types of steroids with different applications. Corticosteroids have a positive impact on the human body and are Continue reading...

Steroids according to Klugger (2014) is a class of synthetic or natural organic compounds characterized by a 17 carbon atom molecular structures arranged in four rings (sec. 1). Being carbon-based compounds, steroids exhibit significant biochemical properties at both the cellular and tissue levels in the human body. Naturally, in the human body the steroid groups typically include all the human sex hormones, the bile acids, and the adrenal cortical hormones. Thus, according to Scovell (n.d.), steroids represent a family of somatic lipid molecules (amphipathic molecules) such as cholesterol (sec. 1). What is of primary concern, however, is steroid use Continue reading...
