Abstract

Salvador Dali can be considered the iconic painter of the surrealist movement. He was cheeky, provocative, ironic, and disrespectful in his attitude to all he came in contact with. He took the foundations of surrealism to their extreme. Dali raised surrealism to a higher artistic level by depicting emotions and thoughts ranging from realism to delirium.

1. What is the underlying mechanism of M.A.'s asthma? What are the three airway responses that occur during an asthma episode?

An autoimmune response to allergens from cats and plants is the underlying mechanism for the patient’s condition. These allergens, though nonpathogenic, trigger an inflammatory cascade wherein lymphocytes, eosinophils, mast cells, neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells exert their effects on the respiratory tract (Linzer 87). As an example, B lymphocytes synthesize immunoglobulin E which helps signal the release of histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandin and cytokines which are proteins that promote vasodilation and hyperactivity in mucus-producing goblet cells (Murdoch & Lloyd 27). Prostaglandin causes the smooth muscles in the airway to constrict. Along with vasodilation and increased mucus production, bronchial constriction ...

- Why are mutations at D185, D186 and D110 are so detrimental to RT activity? (15 Points) Mutations at D185, D186 and D110 are very detrimental to RT activity owing to the fact that the three carboxylate residues have been documented to participate in some forms of physiological processes and metal coordination function that is fundamentally required in the binding of deoxyrobonucleotide substrates to the enzyme. And so, when these subunits are interfered as a result of mutation then the fore mentioned biological process are essentially incapacitated. Furthermore, the region was also subcloned due to mutagenesis hence the high ...
