Biological PrinciplesPrinciplesCore Concepts- Unit 1Unit 1
Evidence for evolution can be seen in nearly all biological processesbecause organisms at the basic level are structured identically.
A basic understanding of the scientific method is necessary. A basic understanding about the concept of evolution and natural
selection is covered. Hierarchy of life: atoms molecules cells tissues organs
systems To understand biology a basic understanding of chemical processes is
covered* The emphasis here is basic atomic structure and three energetic
tendencies (ETs):1. + and charges of elements tend to balance
2. Electrons tend to pair3. Electron shells tend to fillThese ETs help explain why elements bond.
* Properties of water, including hydrogen bonding and pHare covered.
* Basic concepts of organic chemistry are covered, including
how carbon can form macromolecules (carbohydrates,lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids).

blamed for the rise ofdrug-resistant superbugs

An Uncommon Case of Neck FistulaS Chatterjee, S Das, J A Khan, R N Bhattacharya
January 2003
Congenital fistulae of the neck are branchial in origin
and of these 2nd arch fistula is by far the most
common, 3rd and 4th arch fistulae being very rare.
Here, a case of fistula present since birth and
extending from the neck, near the midline to the
alveololingual sulcus, considered very rare, ispresented. The patient was a 32-year-old male having
sticky discharge through an opening in the upper part
of the neck. Examination revealed an opening of
approximately 1 mm diameter about 1 cm to the left of
the midline just above the hyoid bone. A sinogram
revealed a fistulous linear tract communicating with theoral cavity. Surgery was undertaken and the fistulous
tract was excised.
