.... swell and became delirious, so they shipped her to a larger hospital, where one day later she went into convulsions and died. After a nurse who was tending to the sister came down with the same symptoms and died, the doctors in the hospital began to suspect it was a disease heretofore unseen by any of them. Autopsy on the nurse showed significant damage to every organ in the body, the heart was stopped up, with loads of blood cells and platelets piled well into the arteries and veins. Fluids and blood filled the lungs. Dead cells and lipids clogged the liver and spleen. The kidneys were so congested with dead cells and free proteins they had ceased .....

.... These questions when asked only lead to more questions. Until things are done to change the systems of pesticide usage universally, society can never be sure as to the long term effects on our environment and what they are eating or giving to the future of our world, the children. In some foreign countries pesticides are used more frequently with legislative control than in the United States. In Mexico and South America, for example, many of the pesticides that the United States and Europe have banned, wind up being used on a majority of their produce crops. The largest problem with this is that Europe and the United States import from South Americ .....

.... of acetylsalicylic acid. The compound shared the therapeutic properties of other salicylates, but caused less stomach irritation. ASA reduced fever, relieved moderate pain, and, at higher doses, alleviated rheumatic fever and arthritic conditions. Though Hoffmann was confident that ASA would prove more affective than other salicylates, but his superiors incorrectly stated that ASA weakens the heart and that physicians would not subscribe it. Hoffmann's employer, Friedrich Bayer and Company, gave ASA its now famous name, aspirin. It is not yet fully known how aspirin works, but most authorities agree that it achieves some of its effects .....

.... given AIDS its name (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome)," write the Segals, "has been traced back to a destruction or a functional failure of the T4-lymphocytes, also called 'helper cells`, which play a regulatory role in the production of antibodies in the immune system." In the course of the illness, the number of functional T4-cells is reduced greatly so that new anti-bodies cannot be produced and the defenceless patient remains exposed to a range of infections that under other circumstances would have been harmless. Most AIDS patients die from opportunistic infections rather than from the AIDS virus itself. The initial infection is characterized .....

.... and /or hyperactivity-impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. In order to be diagnosed with ADHD some symptoms that cause impairment must have been present before seven years of age. Also some impairment from the symptoms must be present in at least two settings such as work, home or school. It is very unusual for an individual to display the same level of dysfunction in all settings or within the dame setting at all times. There must also be clear evidence of interference with developmentally appropriate social, academic, or occupational functioning (First, 199 .....

.... Most form part of plant cell walls. But unlike the other carbohydrates, fibres do not break down into sugars in the human digestive system and then course through the blood stream fueling muscles and nerves. Rather, when eaten they tumble intact through the stomach and small intestine and end up in the colon where billions of bacterial feed on them - in turn producing intestinal gas. No wonder, then, that dietary fibre has been unwelcome in many of history's nicer neighborhoods. Even 20th century doctors reasoned that since the bulky material provided not a single nutrient, it would only strain already troubled guts. Accordingly, they recom .....

.... usually lasting for 15-20 years after first surfacing. Huntington's is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, meaning that if a parent has the defective Huntington's gene, his/her offspring have a 50/50 chance of also developing the disease. Until 20 or so years ago, very little was known and very little literature was available pertaining to , but recently all that has changed. In 1993 the gene that causes HD was discovered and from that great progress has been made. While no cure yet exists, there is a large push in research to develop one. In most cases Huntington's patients can maintain independence for several years after the onset of s .....

.... from it for many reasons. Firstly, to further emphasize my point of view lets pretend just for a moment that I am a shy girl named Mary. And lets say that I have a boyfriend named Joe. Joe and I have been together for quite a while and are beginning to be sexually active. In this scenario my alter ego, Mary, is in need of some condoms, but she would not feel comfortable asking her parents for help because they are devout Catholics and would obviously not be too pleased, nor understanding of her sexual activities. If Mary had a free condom distribution program in place at her school, then Mary might feel more comfortable receiving condoms from nur .....

.... smoking has been implicated in long term deficits in infant mental development and adverse behavioral problems in children such as attention disorder. Nicotine crosses the human placenta and has direct effects on the developing fetus. Pre-clinical studies suggest that maternal smoking during pregnancy produces changes on the offspring's neural functioning, including reductions in uptake of serotonin, alterations in dopaminergic systems, alterations in peripheral and central noradrenergic neurons, and changes in DNA and RNA synthesis in the brain (9). Children prenatally exposed to nicotine consistently score lower in the two subcategories of e .....

.... of the brain shrinks (atrophies), The spaces in the center of the brain become enlarged, also reducing surface area in the brain. What are the symptoms of Alzheimers Disease? Alzheimers Disease is a dementing illness which leads to loss of intellectual capacity. Symptoms usually occur in older adults (although people in their 40s and 5Os may also be affected) and include loss of language skills such as trouble finding words, problems with abstract thinking, poor or decreased judgment, disorientation in place and time, changes in mood or behavior and changes in personality. The overall result is a noticeable decline in personal activities or w .....
