.... who killed his mother and two of his classmates and is found by three different psychologists to exude narcissistic traits. It's not just a coincidence that narcissism is connected with aggression. A study at Case Western Reserve University found that "the most narcissistic people were the most 'exceptionally aggressive in the wake of criticism." It could be argued that it is, in fact, the other way around; the most aggressive people tend to be the most self-centered, but these two fact are still closely related. So either way you look at it, being narcissistic and being aggressive are closely associated with each other. The relationshi .....

.... They cause your clothes and breath to stink like smoke and they also cause your teeth to turn yellow, which is disgusting. Cigarettes also caused a big mess in my room. My room would stink like smoke after only one cigarette and after a couple you couldn’t even see, which would also get my parents mad. My garbage would be filled with ashes and cigarettes. The ash tray would get filled up and get knocked over and cause a mess. Cigarettes would also cause an inconvenience since all the time I would have a cigarette my throat would get dry. The dryness would cause me to get up for a drink or if I was out somewhere, I would have to buy something t .....

.... in almost any part of the body. In 1997, an estimated 1,359,150 people in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer and 554,740 will die of the disease. Early screening for cancer is believed to be able to drastically reduce the number of deaths due to the disease. Knowing what to look for when detecting cancer, as well as knowing if you are in a high risk population are two of the main factors of early intervention. Early intervention of cancer has proven to increase survival rates and lower the length and severity of treatments. Detection and protection are two types of ambulatory care for cancer that begin before the disease is ever .....

.... aorta divides into a number of main branches, which in turn divide into smaller ones until the entire body is supplied by series of blood vessels. Portal circulation in addition to the pulmonary and systematic circulations described above, a subsidery to the venous system exists, known as portal circulation. A certain amount of blood from the intestine is collected into the portal vein and carried to the liver. Coronary circulation is the means by which the heart tissues themselves are supplied with nutrients and oxygen and are freed of wastes. Just beyond the semiluna valves, two coronary arteries branch from the aorta. Heart action consists of .....

.... rights are met and appreciated, it is shocking that there is such a controversy over it. The word Euthanasia comes from the Greek language: eu means "good" and thanatos means "death". The meaning of the word has evolved from "good death". It now refers to the act of ending another person's life, at their request, in order to minimize suffering (Baird and Robinson, 1989). It comes in two main forms: --Passive Euthanasia: Hastening the death of a person by: Removing life support equipment (e.g. a respirator) or Stopping medical procedures, medications etc., or Stopping food and water and allowing the person to dehydrate or starve to death. .....

.... The effect of normal ageing on the ability to remember is the topic of this essay. However, it is important to note that more extreme dibilities associated with old age that affect memory (such as Alzheimer’s disease) do have similarities with the effects of normal ageing - Nebes (1992) stated that there is ‘relatively little evidence for qualitative differences between Alzheimer’s disease and normal ageing’. Examples of such similarities between the effects of normal ageing and other experimental and clinical conditions shall be discussed at relevant points during the essay. The physiological effects of ageing on memory are still uncl .....

.... started researching why was rejected by the body so quickly. It was not until the last decade that transplantation of animal organs into humans became a realistic goal. Thanks to Jeffery Platt, a professor of experimental surgery at Duke University Medical center who devoted his career to the understanding of how the human immune system recognizes foreign implanted tissue and rejects it. He concluded that the immune system works likes an army with several lines of defense to protect the body from infection by foreign organisms such as bacteria and parasites. This line of defense will also attack a foreign organ. It will do this by gradually causing a .....

.... 1 in 117 black women met a untimely end as compared to white women which only 1 in 496 were killed due to violent crimes. This is not surprising that young males commit most of the serious crimes. According to an article in Scientific American, only 12.5 percent of violent crime in the U.S. in 1992 was committed by females. What is also surprising according to W.W. Gibbs the author of "Seeking the Criminal Element," in Scientific American,(1995 March) pp 100-107, is that a very small number of criminals are responsible for the majority of the violent crime. Sullivan who is now the president of the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta wanted to t .....

.... 1981, it is very contemporary in its style and its meaning can be applied easily to everyday life. Only love that is true in your heart is love, the rest are other emotions sublimated into love. With this in mind, we should look at people around us, people who are in love. Ask to yourself, Why are they in love?  Then, ask yourself, How are they in love? It may be surprising, but the answers to these questions can be surpassingly different. Only when they are the same will the love be true. What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, is set in a house somewhere in Albuquerque NM, some time in the afternoon or early evening, and goin .....
