Jan Steen’s Self Portrait in “The Continence of Scipio” as a Social Commentary There is a tremendous difference between a fool and a jester. Fools are regarded as light-hearted, dim-witted, and absent-minded people whose outrageous stupidity amused the rest of the population. These jovial folk represented the lowest in society: too carefree to get ahead in society and too stupid to care. Many people believed that Jan Steen, a prominent and well-educated artist of the Dutch Golden Age, was a fool

Factor V Leiden Thrombophilia Thrombophilia is a disorder that contains several genetic components that can cause an individual to form arterial and venous thrombi more readily. Many serious medical complications can result from thrombus formations that are often times fatal. In fact, a venous thromboembolism (VTE) is relatively common and a thrombosis of the deep veins of the legs or pelvis can lead to morbidity and mortality. Small portions of this patient population even develop pulmonary

I, John van Leiden, King of Munster, was a devout Anabaptist for much of my life, and did whatever I could to spread the ideas that went along with my faith. Throughout my time, I made many enemies, but I also made alliances that helped to increase the Anabaptist following. I was a feared ruler, but I did what I believed to be right in order to invoke the second coming of Jesus Christ. Despite my eventual title as the King of Munster, my life did not start off so nicely. I was born in a small

How to Use the Abacus Script Created By: Leiden Huber and Denise Tran Leiden: Hi. Today we are going to show you how to use the abacus and tell you a couple background details about it too. Denise: The abacus is also known as the “saunpan” (calculating pan) and was created by a mathematician named Cheng Dawei. He created it during the Ming Dynasty which was in reign from 1368-1644 B.C. and is known as the Fifth Invention of China. The Chinese abacus is very similar to the Roman abacus and was thought

Introduction     Factor V Leiden is a hereditary gene mutation that leads to the disorder in the clotting process of blood. It causes the diseases known as Factor V Leiden Thrombophilia or APC resistance. Factor V functions normally in the coagulation pathway of the blood. But a mutation occurs and its cleavage by the body’s natural inhibitor Protein C is slowed. This leads to excessive clot formation in the blood vessels. This mutation is the most common cause for a Deep vein thrombosis(DVT).1

Introduction: Extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO), i.e., in the absence of liver cirrhosis or abdominal cancer, is a rare manifestation of venous thrombosis that often leads to portal hypertension1.After prothrombin, factor V, next most common cause of thrombophilia is high plasma levels of coagulation factor VIII, which are present in approximately 20% of patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs and increase the risk of the disease in a dose-dependent

Rejection to the Proposal of Mr. Clotter John Ko Is generalised Genetic Screening for Factor V Leiden Necessary? =============================================================== Genetic screening has no doubt have been the one of the most controversial issue in the branch of medicine. The new issue has recently triggered the on-going debate: the dilemma of whether the Government should allow the Genetic screening of all 16 year old girls for mutation in specific

harmful situations and organisms (Ament, 2003). Unfortunately, many times genetic diseases are fatal, debilitating, and incurable. One of these unfortunate diseases is called factor V Leiden thrombophilia. Assessment: Factor V Leiden thrombophilia is a genetic disorder that effects blood clotting. Factor V Leiden is the name of a specific gene mutation that results in thrombophilia,

The Genetics of Factor V Leiden Factor V Leiden as named after the Dutch city Leiden in which it was discovered. Factor V Leiden is a genetic blood clotting disorder that results from a mutation of the Factor V gene. Most of the time you will inherit Factor V Leiden from your family. If kept under control blood clots are mostly harmless, but if left uncared you can have a piece of the blood clot break and enter your lung there it will cause serious damage like a heart attack or stroke. The main

Factor V mutations include: Factor V Leiden, Factor V Cambridge and Factor V Hong Kong. Studies have been conducted to see the prevalence of these mutations in patients who have been diagnosed with venous thrombosis and its association with activated protein C resistance. COAGULATION Coagulation
