  1. Hello. Welcome to our about technology presentation today.
  2. We're going to be talking about the use of daikon
  3. aside for chronic pain, starting impact on society, the impact
  4. of icona tightest to treat chronic pain and prevent opioid
  5. abuse. Chronic pain.
  6. What is chronic pain?
  7. Chronic pain is very common in the United States.
  8. It is the kind of pain that will never go
  9. away and is commonly caused by cancer and failed back
  10. surgeries. What are opioids and why are they a problem?
  11. Opioids include drugs like morphine, and they're used to treat
  12. chronic pain.
  13. They are addictive and they do not, and they do
  14. not work well.
  15. As time goes on, people addicted to opioids can't function
  16. normally, and many die from drug overdoses.
  17. In 2018, about 128 people died daily from opioid overdose.
  18. That is the impact on society.
  19. What is that?
  20. Contact Icahn aside is a powerful pain relieving drug that
  21. has a unique mechanism of action involving potent and selective
  22. blocks of n type calcium channels, which control the pain
  23. messages to the brain.
  24. It is not addictive, and it it's 1000 times more
  25. powerful than more morphine.
  26. Icahn aside, is delivered from the toxin of a cone
  27. snail species.
  28. Conus Magus in the show.
  29. Investigation by Baldomero Olivera on rain Snail toxins began in
  30. the 19 sixties.
  31. Michael Nikitas Discoveries Icon Tied in the early 19 eighties
  32. when he was barely out of high school.
  33. Working with all of their This is Icona Side was
  34. approved by the Food and Drug Administration, also known as
  35. the FDA, on December 29th 2004 for use in treating
  36. chronic pain that is history of site contact.
  37. This is how is icon size made.
  38. Psychology is a man made an allergy sick that is
  39. the same protein protein that comes from Conus Magas Venom
  40. Proteins are made out of amino acids, which can be
  41. thought of like Lego blocks.
  42. Michael blocks can build many things, just like amino acids
  43. can make many different kinds of proteins.
  44. Every protein has unique number and type of amino acids.
  45. Once the specific number and type of amino acids for
  46. its eye contact was learned, scientists were able to use
  47. a protein synthesis machine to make this in a lab.
  48. Its iconic side only has 25 amino acids, so it
  49. is easy to make.
  50. That is house I Contact is made.
  51. My partner has told you about what Sal Khan, a
  52. tight it is.
  53. And now I'm going to tell you how it works.
  54. How does that kind of thio work?
  55. Magnus. Snail toxin venom is used to stander.
  56. Snail pray.
  57. The Prezi, unable to feel pain as the snail eats
  58. away, is all con untied, completely blocks the pain, seeing
  59. those that goes through and type cell same channels to
  60. the brain.
  61. The venom is a module that is all.
  62. Khanna Tide is made to be exactly like in the
  63. lab. How is it ministered?
  64. The drug must be administered by a doctor first, doing
  65. surgery to play pump under the skin, the pump who
  66. looks like a hockey puck inserted surgically inside the abdomen
  67. or the stomach.
  68. It's called the stuff pretty much from the pump is
  69. it to which carries the medicine to the spinal cord.
  70. The kind of pump is called enter in short ego
  71. pump and has to be refilled at the doctor's office
  72. every few months with an injection pump is surgically implanted
  73. because if you give the drug every day by shots,
  74. the spinal cord there would be a higher chance the
  75. infection or damage could a cure.
  76. And people can get shots every day but a doctor
  77. into the spinal cord.
  78. No one would do that.
  79. In conclusion, biotechnology has a positive impact on people's lives.
  80. That contact is good examples.
  81. And since it has enabled many people to live pain
  82. free lives, in addition to learning about how is our
  83. contact is made and how it is work in the
  84. body, we also have learned many skills through this.
  85. That's project.
  86. Yeah, 21st century skills communications.
  87. We had many experience during this project to build our
  88. communication skills.
  89. We reached out thio experts like Dr Rachel Wagner.
  90. We gave us information to help understood, tied how it
  91. works. We also reached out to Dr McIntosh and Mr
  92. Rogers check to use their images on our projects, the
  93. collaboration in the project.
  94. My partner and I had to collaborate through all parts
  95. of this project from picking out the topic to research
  96. Saucon a tide to dive to dividing up responsibilities.
  97. We each use our strengths to make this project better.
  98. Collaboration was hard due to our different schedules and virtual
  99. remote learning right.
  100. We made it work.
  101. My partner share with you 21st century skills that we
  102. did. We got, um you have learned through the project
  103. I will show you now.
  104. Critical thinking.
  105. During our research, we had to do a lot of
  106. critical thinking because our information came from a lot of
  107. different websites.
  108. There was there were a lot of things.
  109. We do not understand it first.
  110. Like what an animal Jesic was and how the nerves
  111. or summarizing the researcher crowd a lot of critical thinking
  112. to decide what was the most important things to include.
  113. Thank you for taking the time to watch presentation.
  114. You have a great day.
  115. Goodbye.
