Medical Intervention to Schizophrenia Patients Evidence-based Treatment Plans for Schizophrenia in Adults vs. in Children and Adolescents Schizophrenia alludes to a health condition that damages the mental health of an individual, hence making them live in delusions as well as hallucinations. Mostly, the disease is characterized by loss of sense of feel as well as disorganization in behaviour and speech. The actual cause of this condition has not yet been established. However, it is assumed that a combination of genetics, surrounding as well as the brain structure, might trigger its development. The treatment of this condition is often lifelong and involves a combination of several medical services. The paper will compare two treatment plans in children, adolescents, and adults and explain their side effects. Additionally, the essay will evaluate how the treatment plans vary across the groups. Medical Administration One of the most common medical interventions is the application of second-generation antipsychotic drugs. The treatment is applied to every patient, regardless of their age. However, the treatment leads to abnormal weight gains, a condition that renders patients vulnerable to…
female orgasm and its relation to masturbation The question of female orgasm and its relation to masturbation has been prevalent over the years. Many sex experts and psychologists have had varying opinions on the topic and this has led to the formation of two major categories of individuals. One of the factions believes that masturbation is not useful in achieving orgasm in women and view the act as a selfish quest to derive self-satisfaction in the absence of a male partner. The other group of people believe in the contemporary view that masturbation is one of the ultimate channels of achieving orgasm in females. While both might be true, there remains scant information regarding the credibility of the independent claims on the topic. This has largely been due to the common societal belief that sexual education with emphasis on issue such as masturbation and female orgasm are immoral and thus taboo for discussion and research. However, various researchers have over the years conducted extensive research on the topic and some of the findings are exciting and astonishing at the same…

To reduce reliance on expatriates and tackle unemployment,…
excretion and metabolism To begin with, it is vital to understand that both excretion and metabolism constitute the processes through which drugs are eliminated from our bodies. The major drug elimination routes are often liver metabolism and renal excretion. It is also worth noting that genetic polymorphisms are one of the various drug-metabolizing enzymes, and it includes cytochrome P450 enzymes. It is worth noting that mutations in the gene coding regions are highly likely to result in alterations in the protein structure or gene expression, and this has a direct impact on the quality and the quantity of the proteins. Concerning the enzymes, similar mutations are likely to affect the rate, protein function, and kinetic constants. On the same note, it is also evident that changes that happen in the drug-enzyme and the drug-receptor interactions as a result of the structural alterations of enzymes or receptors are also highly likely to result in the variations in the drug responses. Polymorphisms that occur in the genes that are responsible for the transport of drugs can also affect the pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics…
Human Organism Biology Topic Article The article focuses on new DNA discoveries commonly found in cancer cells. Scientists have recently discovered extra-chromosomal DNA. For several years, they were not exactly sure how to use these findings. New studies are now focused on the mysterious circles. They are shockingly very normal within cancer cells and also have a huge contribution to various forms of cancer than detected in previous studies. The DNA loops may also affect the functioning of our body and can be associated with aging or other conditions apart from cancer. The presence of the loops first became clear within the 1960s through scientists putting stains in cancer cells to identify the chromosomes of the cells. The research showed that tumor cells get mutations that result in aggressive growth. The development is very critical in cancer research globally. Bio-Engineering Bio-engineering refers to a field of study that uses engineering principles in designing and analyzing biological systems as well as biomedical technologies. Bio-engineering studies include examples of research involving bacteria modified to generate chemicals, portable disease-diagnostic machines, tissue-engineering organs, and…
Why you are for or against genetic engineering What is genetic engineering and how it happens Genetic engineering is the use of rDNA (recombinant DNA) technology to alter an organism’s genetic make-up. It is when genetic material (DNA), from various biological species with different properties. Cut and put together-encoding different features- to be reintroduced into an organism to create new hereditable genetic material combinations (Oliver 1997). This begins by isolating cell DNA, cutting the DNA with sequence-specific restriction endonucleases, mixing the individually isolated DNA and using DNA ligase to join the DNA molecules. Finally, the DNA is reintroduced into cells where the cells carrying the newly joined DNA molecules are identified. Describe what CRISPR/CAS9complex is and how it is used in genetics. The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/CAS9 complex is a tool for genome editing that enables researchers to target and modify any gene sequence with increased specificity and efficiency. It imitates how bacteria naturally identify and targets foreign DNA injected into the cells by viruses. The system uses CAS9, an RNA-guided nuclease, and gRNA, a guided RNA,…
Epilepsy Epilepsy is one of the most common neurobiological disorders that cause seizures, usually referred to as epileptic fits from overactivity of the brain. Epileptic seizures being the most common symptoms of the disease can occur across different degrees, causing few muscle twitches or a convulsion of the whole body. According to the world health organization, the condition is chronic and affects over 50 million people worldwide (WHO, 2019). Over the years, there have been significant strides in developing the cure for the condition, although its prevalence varies from one patient to another. Characterized by recurrent seizures that may lead to unconsciousness and loss of bladder functions, people living with the disorder are at risk of premature three times higher than the general population(Manford). This paper develops a broad examination of the condition to examine its causes and risk factors, pathophysiology, symptoms, treatment options, and historical development of its clinical approaches. Epilepsy Symptoms Epileptic seizures are the primary symptoms of the disorder, and they are categorized into two major categories; generalized seizures and focal (partial) seizures. Generalized seizures occur to…
Colloid cysts Abstract Colloid cysts do account for 0.5-1% of the entire brain mass. They are typical third ventricle lesions that are found on the interior end of the brain within the ventricle. When the colloid cyst affects the ventricle of the brain, it is termed as the intraventricular colloid cysts. The patient of the condition does experience headaches, which are secondary to the persistent or in other cases, intermittent obstructions of the foremen monro of the brain. The obstruction of the disorder in acute hydrocephalus has been termed as the resultant cause of the sudden death among the patients. In most cases, the cell of origin is still a subject of debate; however, studies have found out that it has the endodermal background. According to the findings of this study, the colloid cyst usually presents its clinical signs and symptom among adults between the age of 40 and above. It is considered rare among people below the ages of 30, and for a patient, they do form fluctuating or in other cases, a progressive form of dementia. It, however,…
Pituitary apoplexy PA Abstract The terms apoplexy is often defined as sudden a neurological kind of impairments, usually due to the vascular processes[1]. The pituitary apoplexy is characterized by a sudden onset of the headache, visual symptoms, and in other rare instances, hormonal dysfunction as a result of illness or infraction of the pituitary gland[2]. The visible symptoms my in most cases include the element of visual acuity impairment and the impairment of the visual field from the involvement of the nerves of the brain or the dysfunction of the ocular motility[3]. It is; however, it is critical noting that pituitary apoplexy among the pediatric patients may be divided into the haemorrhage or ischemia, each with the unique neuroimaging findings[4]. The study did find out the PA is major issues of the pituitary system of the body, and the diseases have a higher prevalence both in male and females in the same capacity with a higher prevalence on the person below eh age of 20 years. From the study, it is evident that the disorder can be life-threatening if…
Reproductive System in Vitro-Fertilization Introduction Vitro fertilization is one of modern research projects around the whole which has gain momentum due to an increase rate of infertility. Most people across the world are familiar with the idea of fertilization. Fertilization concept is the idea of sperm joining the egg to produce zygote which eventually develops into foetus. Although in normal circumstances people may be unaware of the difference between normal fertilization and vitro fertilization. Each of these fertilization processes produces a healthy individual although they differ in the form. The continuous application of scientific knowledge has created an environment in which different scientists and researchers gather to evaluate the implication of dynamic world to humanity. The implication of these research items has led to improvement of human life, including productivity solutions as well as general human challenges. Modern technology is one key considerations in achieving modernization goals in human production. Fertilization has been a key concern in human health in the current world. Usually, fertilization normally occurs when a sperm fusses the egg within the fallopian tube. This is how…
