Dr. Jekyll confesses…

The topic of intelligence can be described as one of the most controversial subjects in psychology, this is because a single definition of what intelligence is can never be agreed upon (Kleinman, 2012). Psychologists like Charles Spearman believe it to be a single ability whereas Howard Gardener believes intelligence is more than just one ability. Similarly, the concept of creativity is very hard to define as Amabile, 1996 (cited in Maley & Bolitho, 2015) states, ‘a clear and sufficiently…

It occurs when the body makes too little of the von Willebrand factor (VWF), a protein that helps blood clot, or when the VWF is misshapen and does not work the way it should. VWF is a carrier for another protein, called factor 8, that helps blood clot. When VWF levels are low or when VWF is not working properly, factor 8 levels are low as well and the body is less able to form stable blood clots. There are four major types of von…
having discovered the Factor V, which is a protein that is essential for clotting. “The Factor V deficiency was first described in a Norwegian patient in 1943 and reported by Dr. Paul Owren in 1947. Its incidence is about 1 in 1 million; fewer than 200 cases have been documented worldwide. Before there was a Factor V, there was also a factor 1, 2, 3, and 4. The factor 1 is fibrinogen which is a glycoprotein in vertebrates that helps in the formation of blood clots. The factor 2 is prothrombin…
