MYSTERY

A twenty-year old man was found supine on Thompson Creak Trail with a bullet wound. The entrance of the wound was on the left lateral side 1 cm above the third rib. The exit wound was 5 cm above the belly button in the umbilical region. While tracing the bullet path you notice at the entrance the bullet travels in the frontal plane with a 45-degree downward angle. On inspection of the right side of the rib cage by x-ray you observe the 8th rib fractured. Fragments of the bullets are then traced to the final exit wound. What is the leading differential diagnosis(and why ) and what are three plausible alternatives and how would you rule them out.

The bullet could have the fourth, fifth, or sixth rib and fracture those ribs, causing the bone to crack into the 8th rib. The bullet then could have changed direction and exited from around the umbilical region. This would explain the fracture of the eight rib while the third rib was the area hit.

Some other plausible alternatives

The bullet could have splintered after contacting the third rib and would have hit the eight rib, as well as the exit area.

The exit area could have been the entrance and the bullet coudl have split when hitting the third rib again.

The bullet could have gone straight through but the patient fell and fractured his/her eighth rib.

Your Inner Healers, steam cells

There is something called ISPCs that is basically a mature body cell that has chemicals that are active within an early stage embryonic cell inserted into it that then performs a benjamin button kind of thing and reverts back to the early embryonic state. This is good because as an early embryonic state, this ISPC could change into any kind of cell including nerve cells for parkinsons and spinal chord cells for Spinal chord injuries. Good stuff.

Schoolweek 2 FUNFUNFUNFUNFUNFUFNUFNUFNUFNFun

This week we continued on our papers. We also had a cancer quiz and it was basically, how will you solve cancer? Our answer was to insert an operon system that would prevent the production of telomerase within the entire body so cancer cells would be exposed to the hayflick limit and go through apoptosis. This however, would effect the blood cells which is why the patient would need to take extra medication to keep blood cell numbers high.

Schoolweek of 1/6 to 1/10, also called PARTAY

This week, we worked on how to write a legitimate research paper.  One that had to be around 7-8 pages or so. I worked on my topic of GMOs and their affects on the human body. That's some pretty serious stuff right there. I have my rough draft done so far and i'm getting there. There is this one case study by a man named Gilles eric Seralinni that is really useful because it covers exactly my topic. Wish me luck!
