General symptoms include general weight loss, extreme fatigue, fever and skin changes. Besides, nausea and vomiting as symptoms are an advanced stage of cancer infection. (Glare, Paul et al 5) Causes of cancer are due to genetic mutations from environmental factors at 90 – 95% and the remaining 5 – 10% is due to inherited genetics. This one should keep off...

A congenital abnormality known as lumbarization has been defined and present from birth (Deepa and Martin 1). The condition is characterized by lack of fusion between the sacral vertebra and the remaining part of the sacrum. The situation changes the structure of the spinal bones, creating an appearance of six lumbar vertebrae and four sacral vertebrae. The condition is...

Genetics Assignment Student’s Name University Affiliation Genetics Assignment Genetic Tests Before Conception Tests such as the Counsyl Family Prep Screen 2.0 which is designed to determine the presence of lethal genes for over 105 genetic conditions can be used before conception. 23andMe tests are also commonly used in pre-pregnancy genetic tests and can determine lethal genes in the saliva of the parents. The use of the Counsyl Family Prep Screen provides detailed information on the genetic situation of both parents. The test can detect the presence of recessive genes for cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, and even enzyme deficiency syndromes. The use of the 23andMe test also helps in...

Lymphatic System Name: Course: Instructor: The lymphatic system is quite important to immunity despite not being considered as part of the human immune system.

Together with other parts of the lymphatic system, the spleen helps in protecting the body by clearing the worn-out cells in the fight against infections. The lymphatic system, however, is primarily known for its role in the fight to balance...
