Analytical and Molecular Techniques in Biomedical Sciences
The laboratory based practical work undertaken in this module was in relation to a case study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, SLE. SLE is a connective tissue disorder, which is autoimmune in nature. This disease affects multiple organs and its clinical manifestation is based on its severity and the organ involved. The pathogenesis of this disease is based on antigen-antibody complexes that circulate in the blood and deposit in the smaller blood vessels of organs. Through the deposition of these complexes and also through auto antibody mediated destruction, there is damage to the organ. (Boon et al., 2010)
Perioperative Nurse\'s Role in Caring for Pregnant Patients With Aortic Dissections
Aortic dissection is a disease of the wall of the aorta in which the aortic blood bursts into the muscular layer of the great artery, thus forming a blood filled channel along the planes of the muscularis layer. This false lumen can re-rupture back into the true lumen, through a second distal intimal tear, creating a biluminal or double barrelled aorta. Due to weakened walls, there is threat of rupture into the surrounding tissue with fatal consequences. (Boon, R, Colledge, Walker, & Hunter, 2010)

Entrapment defense in criminal law
This paper examines the validity of entrapment defense used by a defendant who was found guilty and sentenced to five years imprisonment for possession of a controlled substance. The evaluation begins with presentation of two case briefs on specific case law related to entrapment. This is followed by an analysis of probable cause in approaching the defendant's vehicle while he parked at traffic lights, validity of the entrapment defense, and several options or possibilities of the case outcome.
