Learning In A Digital Age: Study On Influence Of Vaccine Program Against Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) Virus In US Setting

Relevance of the StudyThis paper aimed to investigate the influence of the effects of the vaccine program against that of pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) Virus in the US setting from between the year 2009 to 2010.
The study successfully revealed that there was an influence of the national health effects in the vaccine administration timings and also it affected the efficacy of the vaccine. The study also stated that recommendations for priority…

Determining The Genetic Basis Of Glyphosate Resistance In Wild Populations Of Erigeron Bonariensis

Herbicide ResistanceMoss (2002) defines herbicide resistance as the heritable ability of weeds to survive and reproduce in the presence of herbicide doses that are lethal to the wild type of the species. Herbicide resistance was first observed by an ornamental nursery owner in 1968 (Jasieniuk et al. 1996). The first resistance to herbicide was recorded in Senecio vulgaris; seeds from the resistant biotypes were found to be insensitive to the c…

A Study On Solifenacin Versus Placebo For Return To Continence In Patients After Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Objective of the StudyUrinary incontinence also known as involuntary urination is a bladder dysfunction which causes involuntary urination or uncontrolled leakage of urine (Homma, 2008). Several studies have been conducted in the medical setting for deeper knowledge regarding this problem (McGaghie et al., 2010). One such research was performed to evaluate solifenacin versus placebo in patient who were incontinent after catherer removal after …

Identifying And Characterizing The Gene And Promoter Sequence Using Ensembl

In case a gene name or a gene ID or an accession number for a sequence of interest is not available, the database of Ensembl is involved in providing an interface that allows the users to use the BLAST or the BLAT option to align the given sequence of interest to the genome. Before starting this, it has to be made sure that the species of interest is chose. In this case it will be Homo sapiens. On running the sequence, the default program whic…

Study Of Myogenesis And Proliferation Of C2C12 Cells

MethodsThe general aim of the experiment was to study myogenesis of C2C12 cells and investigate the appearance of Myosin Heavy Chain and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) during differentiation and proliferation. This aim was achieved through several lab sections with different objectives. The first lab section’s aim was to learn how to seed, culture and even differentiate and determine viability of C2C12 cells. Through the secon…

Tetanus, Wound Observations, And The Immune Response Analysis

1a. Clostridium tetani, a bacterium that can infect wounds exposed to soil or dirt is an endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium that can cause tetanus1a. Clostridium tetani, a bacterium that can infect wounds exposed to soil or dirt is an endospore-forming, rod shaped bacterium that can cause tetanus. In Mary’s case she had got an open wound when working in her garden and this could have exposed her wound to the soil and also to the bacterium…

Human Tissues, Systems, And Bacteria Physiology

Cells, tissues, organs and systemsCells are the smallest unit of life, which is independent, composed of a cell membrane, genetic material, cell organelles and cell wall (in plants only). It is the key structural and functional unit of human body that makes up the complex human body structure. Cells are of two types, i.e. prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The prokaryotic cells are primitive cells, like bacteria, consisting cell membrane, genetic mat…

Genetic Engineering: Method, History, And Relevant Social Issues

History or BackgroundHuman female germ cells has two X chromosomes and human male has one x and one Y chromosome. If the fertilization occurs via X-bearing sperm results in female offspring and fertilization by Y-bearing or X-deficient sperm results in make offspring. This ability of male gamete to determine the sex of the offspring and the presence of unique Y chromosomes in male gamete lead to the foundation of the paternal testing (Bachtr…
