I’m going to talk about women that are pregnant and the effects that smoking‚ drinking and drugs has on the fetus. Have you ever thought what can happen to a pregnant woman and her fetus who has life style like this? Just imagine what the condition of the fetus will be if the mother would do one of these things. When woman is pregnant it is very important that she takes care of herself because whatever she does reflects directly on to the unborn child. I would also like to focus on not just the

INTRODUCTIONS Leprosy‚ also called Hansen’s disease‚ is a chronic infectious disease that primarily affects the skin‚ the peripheral nerves‚ the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract‚ and the eyes. Leprosy can lead to progressive permanent damage of these structures‚ and the resulting devastating disfigurement and disability has led to the historical social stigma and isolation (leper colonies) of those affected by the disease. LEPROSY Leprosy is an infectious disease that has been known since

Though it may not be well known‚ animal protection did not start until the 1800’s. The United State Department of Agricultural (USDA) issued a law in 1966 to protect certain animals against animal cruelty and neglect. This law does not protect rodents‚ reptiles‚ and/or birds. While these animals are being tested on‚ no matter

Medical Testing on Animals Every year‚ nearly 100 million animals die in research laboratories at the hands of curious scientists who perform outdated and inaccurate tests that prove no benefit to humans or animals. Before these animals die‚ they are routinely burned‚ scalded‚ poisoned‚ starved‚ given electric shocks‚ addicted to drugs‚ subjected to near freezing temperatures‚ dosed with radioactive elements‚ driven insane‚ deliberately inflicted with diseases such as cancer‚ diabetes‚ oral infections

Animal Testing is not Justified Imagine being deprived of food and water‚ being forced to inhale toxic gasses‚ going through surgery without any anesthesia‚ or being physically restrained for long periods of time. Many animals go through this every year. According to the Humane Society International‚ more that 115 million animals are used worldwide for laboratory experiments almost every year and about a 100 million are just from the United States! The animals they use include mice‚ fish‚ rats‚

outcome tend to remain dominated by the paradigms familiar to component disciplines. A specific example in which an interdisciplinary approach to the natural sciences has led to disaster is within the field of medicine in the 1960s‚ when the drug thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant women for morning sickness. Due to a phenomenon in chemistry called stereoisomerism‚ the manufactured drug formed two molecular structures‚ known as enantiomers. While one enantiomer was therapeutic‚ the other caused severe

Organic Chemistry - Introduction 1 2812 Basic definitions for organic chemistry Scope Organic chemistry is a vast subject so it is easier to split it into small sections for study. This is usually done by studying compounds which behave in a similar way because they have a particular atom‚ or group of atoms‚ (FUNCTIONAL GROUP) in their structure. Catenation The ability to form bonds between atoms of the same element. Carbon catenates to form chains and rings‚ with single‚ double

In one of her lectures‚ my organic chemistry professor told us the story of thalidomide whose R enantiomers were an effective morning sickness cure‚ but S enantiomers caused teratogenesis. It fascinates me how a simple switch in the stereocenter would cause such different biochemical responses. Despite my initial struggles in college
