Possible Links Involving 2‚4-D and Non-Hodgkin ’s Lymphoma The most widely known and used Herbicide 2‚4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2‚4-D)‚ has become a hot topic due to the accusations that it is linked to serious health issues; specifically Non-Hodgkin ’s Lymphoma (NHL). In Dennis T. Avery ’s book‚ he states that there is at least one team of researchers in the U.S. that raises questions to whether or not there is a link between 2‚4-D and NHL; but after extensive research scientists concluded

Observation of mitosis in garlic root tips Introduction The practical will involve the preparation‚ observation‚ and classification‚ of the various stages of mitosis by observing garlic root tips using a microscope. The study comes under the heading of cytogenetics which is the visual characterisation of genetic material and the study of how that material reacts during the life of the cell. Strictly speaking‚ mitosis is the division of the nucleus into two daughter nuclei that are identical to one another

Acute Radiation Syndrome Acute radiation syndrome which is also sometimes known as radiation sickness or radiation toxicity is an extremely serious illness that occurs when the entire body (or most of it) receives a high dose of penetrating radiation‚ a dose greater than 50 rads‚ in a very short period of time. Studies in animals and humans exposed to radiation have allowed researchers to describe acute radiation syndrome. The most replicative cells are the most sensitive to the acute effects

Clinical laboratory science can be separated into several divisions which include hematology‚ microbiology‚ immunology‚ chemistry‚ cytogenetics and histocompatibility. Among all these different divisions‚ clinical chemistry is the area that interests me the most. In this paper‚ I will introduce the role of clinical chemistry in the health care field and some clinical chemistry tests in

Pathophysiology Main article: Carcinogenesis Cancers are caused by a series of mutations. Each mutation alters the behavior of the cell somewhat. Cancer is fundamentally a disease of failure of regulation of tissue growth. In order for a normal cell to transform into a cancer cell‚ the genes which regulate cell growth and differentiation must be altered.[40] The affected genes are divided into two broad categories. Oncogenes are genes which promote cell growth and reproduction. Tumor suppressor
