    A guide for incorporating quotes into sentences, in-text and parenthetical citations included. When considering incorporating quotes, consider if paraphrasing or quoting adds most to your sentence, paragraph, etc. When selecting a quote, consider the "10-word rule," to get to the most valuable information from the quote (anyone can cut-and-past paragraphs), decrease in conventions errors (less unnecessary words = less opportunity for errors), and fluency. Once you've incorporated a quote into your sentence, try reading the sentence out loud, same sentence, without the quotation marks. If it's unreadable, revise how you've placed the quote in your sentence.

  • A board certified cardiologist has provided assurances that a person with a pacemaker can safely drive a hybrid.  
  • You should avoid coming within inches of the engine to avoid harmful complications
  •  Another concern of the hybrid car is the stealth nature and danger it may pose to the seeing impaired.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • One concern that has not been fully resolved is the electromagnetic field created and the possibility of certain cancers due to them.
  • Studies suggest that the risk is real; just as real as the other EMF given off from other electrical devices we use every day including computers and cell phones.
  • Electric cars are not new; they have been around since the 1800’s and were among the first vehicles ever built.
  •  One such fear is the harm to people with pacemakers.

    Interesting listing of possible health concerns from electric vehicles. As well good information on alternative fueled vehicles and hybrids.

  • Grekos showed the successful engraftment of stem cells into damaged organs and subsequent regeneration of tissue.
  • Dr. Grekos also highlighted several case studies to illustrate his team's success with Adult Stem Cells. According to their findings, cardiac disease patients experience an average increase of 21% in ejection rates as well as measurable improvements in congestive heart failure class status, some in as little as one month post-treatment
  • Regenocyte Therapeutic is currently using Adult Stem Cells Therapy to treat Congestive Heart Failure, Cardiomyopathy, Peripheral Artery Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Kidney Disease, Ischemic Heart Disease, Pulmonary diseases (COPD, Pulmonary Fibrosis, and Pulmonary Hypertension) and Early Senile Dementia. Patients can call 866-216-5710 or visit http://www.regenocyte.com for information or consultation.

      I may want to contact this number for my research. 
  • Therapeutic, addressed physicians from around the world with a presentation on patients treated with pre-engineered Adult Stem Cells. In the presentation,
  • "This is the logical next step in harnessing the regenerative power of stem cells. This will be the next phase in turning science into medicine
  • PET scans confirm that Adult Stem Cells have the ability to engraft themselves into areas damaged by myocardial infarction (heart attacks) and turn into viable new heart muscle.
  • "Three months after treatment, cardiac nuclear scans of the areas treated reveal reversal of damage. We have been able to take patients off the transplant list, and we have been doing it consistently."
  • physicians at the Dominican Republic division of Regenocyte announced clinical results of a 46-year-old patient with pulmonary hypertension who was treated with Adult Stem Cells. His pulmonary artery mean pressure went from 41mmHg (severe pulmonary hypertension) to 24 mmHg (normal) in six months.
  • The patient's saturations are now consistently high and he no longer needs to be supplemented with oxygen continuously or considered for a lung transplant. Another patient was successfully treated for cardiac sequelae of Fabry's Disease, and is also no longer considered for heart transplant.

    A clinical essay on the use of stem cells on regrowing certain organs and its cit-effects. Is it more dangerous to use stem cells research? Does the benefits out weigh the risks of the procedures?

ENG 102 HW1 Sports all-star players musicians

shared by Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • 75% of parents let their child skip an exam for an important game, and only 47% of musicians’ parents would let them skip an exam for a concert or performance.
  • Also, the all-star players said the schools help give them extended deadlines for essays, homework, reports, etc., while the musicians only had 44% and the sport leagues 33%. In addition, 63% of all-stars said the schools helped them with tutoring sessions, while those in sport leagues had 11% and only 8% musicians.
  • After those facts, it is no surprise that the principals interviewed said,” Sports is one of the most popular interests in the school. This can be seen by the fact that the athletes’ needs are met through designing special programs, consideration of their needs, consideration of their teachers, competitions and placing the school athletics program high on our list of priorities
  • Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12
     
    From a studies shown in this article that special rewards were given to those who played sports compared to those who played instrument's just to show the difference. Placing school athletics high on their list of priorities.

Pigs could grow human organs in stem cell breakthrough - Telegraph - 0 views

stem cell eng102 animal use growing organs wp2

shared by Daniel Opie on 11 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • The researchers injected stem cells from rats into the embryos of mice that had been genetically altered so they could not produce their own organs, creating mice that had rat organs.
    • Daniel Opie
      Daniel Opie on 11 Jul 12
       
      If they are able to do this with animals what about humans? Is this ethical and effective.
  • The scientists claim the rat stem cells grew in the niche left by the absent mouse pancreas and so almost any organ could be produced in this way.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • If replicated using human stem cells, the technique could produce a way of treating diabetic patients by providing a way of replacing their pancreas
  • In reality researchers are not allowed to create human embryos that lack the ability to grow organs and so they hope to do the same using pigs.
  • They have, however, already managed to produce pigs that were able to generate human blood by injecting blood stem cells from humans into pig foetuses. He said: "For ethical reasons we cannot make an organ deficient human embryo and use it for blastocyst complementation. "So to make use of this system to generate human organs, we must use this technique using blastocysts of livestock animals such as pigs instead
  • Blastocyst complementation across species had never been tested before, but we have now shown that it can work."
  • Daniel Opie on 11 Jul 12
     
    This is discussing about using other animals to grow organs inside of those other animals.
