Abstract
In recent decades, the immunization schedule required for children in the United States has increased significantly because new vaccinations are being formulated. In this research paper I will investigate and explore the possible effects of this increase. My analysis will also focus on the emerging trends of blame that fall to the vaccinations administered to children; these criticisms lead to patterns of noncompliance to mandated immunization schedules. Medicine is constantly changing, this holds true for vaccinations. Currently the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the administration of …

Abstract
Garcinia kola (GKE) is a native tree in West and Central Africa. People there consume its seeds on a regular basis for cultural or medicinal purposes. When it comes to consuming herbal extracts as treatment alternatives, the supposed health claims are often backed with anecdotal evidence told by older relatives or naturopathic health providers. The initial reports that GKE has anti-diabetic potential were the driving force for creating my experimental design. I did a literature search to explore previously performed research in this area, which resulted in an initial eight manuscripts. My search …

Abstract
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), including personal care products, pharmaceuticals, industrial agents and agricultural runoff, have shown adverse effects on aquatic survival species. Numerous CECs have potentially harmful effects, but have not been well studied. One of the most alarming studies was the treatment of an entire lake with a synthetic estrogen, found in birth control pills, which showed a near extinction of the fathead minnow population. My study looks at the potential effects of CECs on the immune system of fathead minnow. This study does not only show the potentially hazardous effects …

Abstract
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) have shown adverse effects on aquatic survival species, but little research has been done on the potentially harmful impact of CECs individually or combined. Anecdotal evidence and newspaper articles have reported mass extinctions of fish due to CECs in the water. This study looks at the potential effects of CECs on the immune system of fathead minnow. This study does not only show the potentially hazardous effects CECs have on one aquatic species, but may give an insight on how some of these chemicals may affect other species, …
