Cystic Fibrosis The television must be turned up again to do another breathing treatment or it is time to get tapped before bed. I watch in awe as my little cousin sits there with a shaking vest on, and I wonder what is going on. If it’s time for another meal or if he just wanted a snack, he cannot forget to take his enzymes that he needs to aid in the digestion of food. I again start to wonder what is going on inside and how this little boy ended up with this disease, so I began my search in

What is Functionalism? Functionalism is one of the major proposals that have been offered as solutions to the mind/body problem. Solutions to the mind/body problem usually try to answer questions such as: What is the ultimate nature of the mental? At the most general level, what makes a mental state mental? Or more specifically, What do thoughts have in common in virtue of which they are thoughts? That is, what makes a thought a thought? What makes a pain a pain? Cartesian Dualism said the ultimate

The Importance of the Nephron in Kidneys All living organisms require a source of energy, usually in the form of food, to satisfy the cellular demands of the body and ultimately to sustain life. Thus, the nutrients that are consumed by organisms are broken down by various processes within organs, tissues, and cells, in order for important molecules, like minerals, vitamins, proteins, and carbohydrates, to be taken up and distributed around the body. The molecules not needed by the body or ends

search strategy on a complex G×M×E adaptation or fitness landscape. Here we consider design of an integrated systems approach to crop improvement that incorporates advanced technologies in molecular markers, statistics, bio-informatics, and crop physiology and modelling. We suggest that such an approach can enhance the efficiency of crop improvement relative to conventional phenotypic selection by changing the focus from the paradigm of identifying superior varieties to a focus on identifying superior

govern this disease, before one will know how to intervene intelligently to prevent the process, or turn it around. E. immunologic 7. A branch of biomedical science that covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in all organisms. 8. In chronic glomerulonephritis, for example, a much clearer insight will be needed into the events leading to the destruction of glomeruli by the immunologic reactants that now appear to govern this disease, before one will know how to

Santucci “Musician Con Fuoco” May 2012 Copyright © 2012 Jaime Santucci MusicianConFuoco.com. All Rights Reserved. Santucci 2 Introduction This paper proposes a new approach, or a new paradigm if you will, to instrumental instruction that combines the foundational principles of language, singing, and psychophysics (awareness of physiology and psychology). I argue that instrumental pedagogy and methodology should necessarily introduce, or in some cases reintroduce, the basic skills in question

the binded, under active, and dysfunctional muscles is the accumulation of scar tissue. By definition scar tissue, or cicatricial tissue, is the dense fibrous tissue forming a matrix, derived directly from granulation tissue. For the purpose of this paper I will use the term scar tissue throughout its length. Scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. This dense, fibrous tissue affects us all and is an underlying factor in many injuries. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become

Claudine Billau The formation of a tracheostomy significantly alters the patient’s respiratory physiology. In bypassing the upper respiratory tract, the patient is more susceptible to changes in humidity and there is a consequential change in the function of the respiratory mucosa. Understanding these changes is fundamental to managing these patients effectively (see Chapter 1, Anatomy and Physiology of the Respiratory Tract). NORMAL MECHANISM OF HUMIDIFICATION The upper respiratory system: the
