Essays on Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is caused by the presence of several neurological problems in the brain and nervous system that are affecting the movement as well as co-ordination. Specifically, muscle controlling parts of the brain are affected in cerebral palsy. Usually, the condition develops as a result of the abnormal development of the brain as a result of mutations in the genes or damage to the brain before, at the time of, or shortly after birth. For example, infection caught by the mother in pregnancy or bleeding in the brain of the baby could result in cerebral palsy (NHS, nhs.uk). Signs ...

Introduction

Cerebral Palsy Cerebral palsy is a physical disability that results from damage to the brain during development that negatively impacts the functional development of children14. Characteristics of cerebral palsy include an inability to control the body’s motor functioning with a potential to affect speech, learning, environmental exploration, and the skills required for independent living. In addition, these patients have delays in reaching milestones for gross motor development with problems moving such as weakness, spasticity, and impaired selective motor control27. Children born with the disability have varying levels of impairment, and while it usually develops by age three, it ...

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion Energy Source The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Atmospheric air motion can be categorized depending in terms of spatial scale. Four spatial scales identified include planetary scale, synoptic scale, mesoscale, and microscale. There are various types of spatial scales ...

Vanishing Twin Syndrome

Vanishing Twin Syndrome In 1945, Walter Stoeckel proposed that the general population of conceptions were higher for multiple fetuses that supposed, suggesting that a twin or multiple fetuses may die in utero and subsequently be reabsorbed without clinical evidence by the surviving fetus/es, mother, or placenta (Stoeckel, 1945, cited in Levi, 1976). Named the “vanishing twin syndrome”, the cause is generally not known. If abnormalities are determined, they appear related to early development and are chromosomal; improper implantation of the cord may also play a role. This paper presents a brief overview of the etiology, demographics, consequences, and tests ...

Introduction

Substances vary from one another in the amount of heat needed to produce a rise in temperature in a given quantity of gas. The quantity of heat needed to change the temperature of a system is proportional to the mass of that system as well as the change of temperature. This is expressed as where Q is the amount of heat required, m is the mass of the system, c is the specific heat, and is a change in temperature. The values of specific heat depend on some extend of temperature. In small temperatures, the specific heat is considered ...

Community Policing (CP)

How is CP defined? Community policing is a process that involves organizational decentralization and reforming patrol so as to develop and enhance a two-way communication between law-enforcers and the public (Skogan & Hartnett, 1997). It is characterized by changes in the decision-making process, development of new cultures in policing, and commitments to assist communities to solve the crime challenge on their own. According to Fielding (2005), community policing is a complex concept of crime control that is shared with the public e.g. the Neighborhood Watch (NW). It is an alternative to the rapid response that enhances a closer relationship between ...

Abstract

Thermal physics is very important when studying the thermal properties of matter. One of the most important characteristics is the heat capacity ratio that compares the heat capacity at a constant pressure (Cp) to that at a constant volume (Cv). By heat capacity, we refer to the quantitative aspect of the heat emitted or gained in a matter in regard to the temperature change experienced. This quantity is expressed in units of Joule per Kelvin. Heat capacity is denoted by the gamma symbol (ɤ). Whenever a gas is heated, the volume increases leading to more force being exerted on the ...

Protein degradation is a regulatory process of all living beings that helps to weed out proteins that are faulty in nature. The fault maybe in their sequence or folding. The proteins are degraded via ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). The proteasome is made up of an outer activating module and an inner core particle (CP), which in turn is made up of outer α subunits and inner β subunits. The α subunits guard a N-terminal gates pore, which open up when proteasome activators (PA) binds to it. The β subunits have the active sites that can broadly accommodate different faulty proteins for degradation. ...

The experiment aimed to show that Blm10 protein elevates the turnover of proteasomal substrate through an active gating mechanism. This was to be done by showing that Blm10 enhances degradation that is proteasome-mediated in vitro using hypophosphorylated unstructured tau-441 as the substrate.

The objective was achieved using various stains such as BY4741, yMS63, yMS94, yMS122b, yMS131, yMS152, yMS159, and yMS476 among others.
