... it even more difficult to conceive is that a woman is at a very high risk just because she is a woman. The breasts which have been with her almost all her life, those which gave her children strength and growth, those which have been a symbol of beauty are now going to destroy her. These are facts which women who have the disease must face and the mental and psychological strain is unimaginable to those who are not affected. Article Research Article I As with mainly all diseases, there is not just one contributing factor to its existence. Breast Cancer has numerous causes and by studying these factors, we can see who is at high risk. In a life-time, a pe ...
... aerosol spray cans. These compounds are greatly responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere (Gutnik 54). CFCs are most commonly used as the propellant in spray cans, the coolant in refrigerators and air conditioners, in foam and plastic insulation, and in industrial solvents (Caldara 20). Industry began using CFCs in the World War II era. In 1973, atmospheric chemists F. Sherwood Rowland and Mario Molina of the University of California at Irvine postulated the connection between ozone depletion and CFCs. Although CFCs were found to be harmful to the ozone twenty three years ago they are still in active use today. According to The All ...
... major types of were outlined and methods of management and treatment were developed(3). Classification. The division of into classes is still inexact, and classification varies from country to country. For official record-keeping purposes, most countries follow the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO). For clinical use in the U. S., the American Psychiatric Association in 1980 adopted a third edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III); an extensive revision (DSM-III-R) was issued in 1987.

I have the Internet at home, so it was easiest for me to start with. MPD was not a very common subject on the Internet. I couldn’t fine too much information on MPD, and I became very frustrated. Whenever I conducted a search on MPD, I would find DID instead. I wasn’t quite sure what DID was, but I had a feeling that it was some what related to MPD. My next step was to look into an encyclopedia. I looked up MPD on Encarta. There were not any articles on MPD, but it sai ...
... particles are released when the infected person sneezes, also by the mouth where particles are once again ejected when the victim coughs. The disease can be transmitted by dried small pox scabs and through materials the infected person has come in contact with. The virus is reproduced in the lymphoid tissue and released into the body. Virus reproduction begins when the virion comes into contact with a suitable host cell. The virus must interact with a receptor on the cell surface. The infectious cycle usually consists of two stages. The first stage makes the proteins necessary for the protein to form. The second stage forms the adult virion to start the atta ...
... the severe impairment suffered by Alzheimer's victims. Neurofibrillary Tangles are also found in the brains of Alzheimer's victims. They are found within the cell bodies of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, and take on the structure of a paired helix. Other diseases that have "paired helixes" include Parkinson's disease, Down's Syndrome, and Dementia Pugilistica. Scientists are not sure how the paired helixes are related in these very different diseases. Neuritic Plaques are patches of clumped material lying outside the bodies of nerve cells in the brain. They are mainly found in the cerebral cortex, but have also been seen in other areas of the brain. ...
... drug abuse. According to Johnston O’Malley, and Bachman, 1997 the percentage of high school senior drug use is currently at an incline. The earlier an adolescent starts to use drugs the more likely they are to progress into "the most severe forms of drug use". This elicit drug use alters the teenagers state of mind and eventually takes control of their life. With this in mind, imagine how confused and lost a young person may be if they are a drug user? Out of all teenage suicides as of 1997; drug related suicide alone has tripled from 20% to 60%. Drugs have many effects on teens but the most detrimental of them all would be fatality self- inflicted. Final ...

... sleep better then an out of shape person, and feel more revitalized in the morning. Muscles account for approximently 35% of the body weight in women, and about 45% of the body weight in men. With over 600 muscles covering the human skeleton muscles give the body bulk and form. Then human body contains millions of muscle fibres whose coordinated contraction cause the whole muscle to contract. Muscles are the foundation on which our bodies are built. Without muscles our bodies could not perform the simplest tasks such as opening our eyes, talking, breathing and even the pumping of our heart or the most difficult tasks, such as running the hurdles in a track an ...
... and, in essence, is logical analytical, judgemental and verbal. It's interested in the bottom line, in being efficent. The right brain controls the left side of the body and leans more to the creative, the intuitive. It is concerned more with the visual and emotional side of life. Most people, if they thought about it, would identify more with their left brain. In fact, many of us think we are our left brains. All of that non-stop verbalization that goes on in our heads is the dominant left brain talking to itself. Our culture- particularly our school system with its emphasis on the three Rs (decidedly left-brain territory) - effectively represses the ...
