I’m sure some of you have had a friend or family member who has passed as the result of an incurable disease. Stem cells have the remarkable medical potential to cure a myriad of degenerative diseases. According to Rosemary Tong, a biomedical ethicist, stem cell research has the potential to develop treatment for 58 million Americans with heart disease, 82 million with cancer, 4 million with Alzheimer’s disease, along with many others. A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that is capable of…

“Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.” This quote by Jim Ramstad is about the benefits of Embryonic Stem Cell Research. “Stem cells provide an opportunity to investigate the mechanisms that regulate embryonic development, cellular differentiation, and organ maintenance” (Ramalho-Santos and Willenbring 35-38). Embryonic stem cell research has been around for many years. It has proven to be very beneficial to the medical world,…

Imagine that your dear old grandmother has a terrible disease and could possibly die, but there is a new treatment that could save your grandma's life or your blind best friend that cannot see, yet has the opportunity to see with the new treatment, would not that make them and yourself happy? Well the treatment that would save your grandmas life and friends’ vision is called stem cell research and it can not only save people's life, it can also fight illnesses, harmful diseases, replace failing…

Over the course of many centuries, scientific study and research has seen significant advancements, especially when it comes to the study of the human body. One of the major developments is embryonic stem cell research which involves the use of cells from early stage embryos. These cells are important because they have yet to mature and therefore are able to evolve into any type of cell found in the human body. Through the use of embryonic stem cell research, scientists may be enabled to learn…

FOCUS QUESTION: what are stem cells? CITATION (HARVARD): NOTES (bullet points , in your own words) • Stem cells have the potential to develop into different cell types in the body during growth in early life • They are undifferentiated cells that are able to differentiate into specialised cell types. • In many tissues they serve as a sort of repairing system • FOCUS QUESTION: diabetes, what it is how it affects the body, how it’s managed? CITATION (HARVARD):…

One of the more researched topics today is towards stem cell research. There is a lot of different ways to use stem cells to help alleviate many problems that we face today. One huge problem that humans face is muscle deterioration as we get older. Recent studies on mice show that there is a pool of stem cells that help maintain muscles and as the mice get older, the pool decreases which leads to muscle atrophy, which could possibly happen to humans. One huge dilemma that scientists face is…

Annotated Bibliography Hayat, M. A. (2012). Stem cells and cancer stem cells: Therapeutic applications in disease and injury. Dordrecht: Springer. Haya edited eighty – five articles about stem cell as a cure for major human diseases. Age-related illness like Alzheimer’s and dementia can possibly be cured using this method of cell-based treatment. The stem cell procedure was explained using six subheadings of stem cell culture, bone marrow stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, reprogramming and…

Hatshepsut's reign was marked by a period of peace and internal development. The pharaoh established a thriving art scene, pursued innovative architectural projects with the help of esteemed eighteenth dynasty architect Senenmut, and facilitated successful foreign trade expeditions (Britannica). One of Hatshepsut's greatest achievements during her rule was the construction of her mortuary temple Deir-el Bahri, located in Thebes. At the time, Deir-el Bahri was an architectural novelty. The…

The Importance of Organizing in Health Care Management A number of major principles exist to support the framework for the formal organization theory, one being authority as an essential principle (Dunn, 2010). Authority can be described as a way of getting the job done by having the right to direct others and give orders (Dunn, 2010). Another primary principle is the span of management also known as the span of control (Dunn, 2010). This principle is defined as boundaries set on the number…
