Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis (CF) affects the glands and epithelial cells of the body in the lungs, liver, pancreas, digestive system and reproductive system. It is frequently fatal, frighteningly progressive and always unremitting. Most individuals with CF will have a life span of thirty years or less. This disease is present in nearly 30,000 Americans and approximately 1 in every 2

Human Ear And Tinbre THE HUMAN EAR Hearing plays such an important role in everyday life of man. This sense is one that often taken for granted this is largely because the ear does its job well without our having to pay attention to it. Hearing is the best omnical sense we have, allowing us to be aware of the locations of things before we feel smell or see them; we don’t even have t

Human Genome Project Human Genome Project (HGP) Introduction: To discover the mystery of the universe is the dream of every scientist. Since human is a part of the universe, therefore to solve the question of explaining the miracle of life is the aim of most scientists. In 20th century, there are 3 national projects in the United States of America and all of them have great achieve

Global Warming Global warming is a critical issue that concerns many people. The greatest problem that we have is that we are uncertain about the effects that global warming will cause. We are not sure what will happen to the climate and how things will be able to adapt to it. The uncertainty is due to the fact we cannot tell if global warming has had any direct environmental impact,

Making Teeth Whiter In the 1960’s dental manufactures invented teeth bleaching agents. These agents were designed to make teeth that have darkened from age, tea, coffee, tobacco, or some antibiotics, a nice white color. The dental manufactures used a chemical agent called carbamide peroxide to produce the whitening effect. (Tooth Whitening Systems, p.1) In order for this procedure to w

Malaria Malaria Malaria is a serious, infectious disease spread by certain mosquitoes. It is most common in tropical climates. It is characterized by recurrent symptoms of chills, fever, and an enlarged spleen. The disease can be treated with medication, but it often recurs. Malaria is endemic (occurs frequently in a particular locality) in many third world countries. Isolated, small

Air Pollution Humans probably first experienced harm from air pollution when they built fires in poorly ventilated caves. Since then, we have gone on to pollute more of the earth's surface. Until recently, environmental pollution problems have been local and minor because of the Earth's own ability to absorb and purify minor quantities of pollutants. The industrialization of society, the

Diabetic Diabetes There are three types of diabetes. Type I is called Diabetes Mellitus. In type I the body stops making insulin or makes small amounts. Without insulin glucose cannot get into your cells which is needed to burn for energy. Glucose will collect in the blood. Over time high levels of glucose in the blood may hurt the eyes, kidney, nerves, or heart. Type I occurs mostly i

Black Hole Most Physicists like to tell us that black holes are bald or that they have no hair. Upon translation what they mean is, if we were able to observe black holes each one would look exactly the same: pitch black as can be, and in the shape of flawless spheres. We know this due to the fact that Stephen Hawkings and his colleagues proved it mathematically in the early 1970s. In

Mars Life on Mars In 1877, Giovanni Schiaparelli produced the first "modern" map of Mars, on which he showed a system of what he called canali. Although canali in Italian means "channel", without the implication of being an artificial feature, the word was commonly translated into English as "canal". Schiaparelli's map of Mars (1888) In 1910, Percival Lowell captured the imagina
