Competition02:34

Competition

24.2K
When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends02:35

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

7.0K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Glycolysis: Preparatory Phase01:21

Glycolysis: Preparatory Phase

16.2K
In cellular metabolism (the complete breakdown of glucose to extract energy),  glycolysis is the first step. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Glucose enters heterotrophic cells in two ways. One method is through secondary active transport, where the transport takes place against the glucose concentration gradient. The other mechanism uses a group of integral proteins called GLUT proteins, also known as glucose transporter proteins. These...

Preparedness and Phobias01:09

Preparedness and Phobias

267
Human fear responses to certain stimuli, such as darkness, heights, deep water, and blood, can often arise despite the absence of direct negative experiences. This phenomenon is rooted in evolutionary psychology, which posits that humans have developed a predisposition to fear stimuli that historically posed significant survival threats. This predisposition, known as preparedness, suggests that early humans who developed a fear of potentially dangerous entities, such as venomous snakes and...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.5K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Exercise Stress Test01:26

Exercise Stress Test

903
Introduction
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes

    Summary

    No country is ready for a pandemic as the novel coronavirus spreads globally. This highlights the urgent need for global pandemic preparedness and response strategies.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • The novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has spread beyond China.
    • The global community faces an unprecedented public health challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the preparedness of nations for a potential pandemic.
    • To highlight the global risks associated with the novel coronavirus outbreak.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of national health infrastructure and pandemic response plans.
    • Review of international health regulations and cooperation frameworks.

    Main Results:

    • No nation appears fully equipped to handle a large-scale pandemic.
    • Significant gaps exist in surveillance, containment, and healthcare capacity worldwide.
