Ericsson Paper: Motor Learning
.... but will never be able to achieve that same level of performance
because their body is physiologically incapable. Furthermore, physiologist Dr.
Astrand contends that up to 90% of the variance in aerobic performance is due to
one's genes, regardless of training programs. (McArdle,1994). But sports like
golf are probably influenced very little by genetics because skill acquisition
far overshadows physical ability. History provides many examples of athletes
who apparently has a poor genetic endowment, y .....

Depression
.... the problem is a chemical imbalance in the brain.
They treat you by giving you certain medicines and talking to you about your
thoughts. Some examples of the medicines are Prozac, Elavil, Sinequan, Trofranil,
and Norpramin. These medicines have certain chemicals that will replace the
certain chemicals that your brain is missing. The most widely used and known
medicine is Prozac. It costs $1.60 per capsule , but it is the most effective
medicine.
I suggest that if you are one of the people that .....

Destroying Your Health By Smoking Cigarettes
.... Due to no filter you will get none of the toxins filtered
Without filtering out some of the toxins you will destroy yourself quicker; that
is the goal we are seeking, is it not? Lets take out one of our friends (we will
call them that to be funny) and look at it. It is about five to six inches in
length, maybe a half inch wide with little brown things that look somewhat like
coffee grounds inside a thin white paper cylinder. Smell it, a significant
number of people actually enjoy the way tobacco product .....

Diabetes

from diabetic coma until they figured out how to use insulin therapy. In both
forms it could cause a kidney disease from high blood sugar levels; bad sight
from blood vessels in eyes rupturing, less blood going to the limbs could make
them have to cut them off. They have high blood pressure which increases heart
attacks and strokes in diabetes too. Type II
This type is found in mostly in people over 40 it progresses slowly .....

.... mass. Many muscle and fitness
magazines will feature advertisements and articles for such gains in body mass.
Advertisements for diets can sometimes be very dangerous though. Pretty well
all the people used in these particular ads are slim and beautiful and it can
therefor be very misinterpreting to someone who is overweight. The pressure of
being fit can lead to very damaging disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.
These two very serious conditions affect a very large amount of women and men in

Heartburn And Gallstones
.... abdomen, sore throat, and when the mouth
sometimes fills with a liquid called water brash.
Heartburn has many affects on the body, but I will focus now on the
effect on the digestive system. Heartburn causes ulcers, which eat through the
mucous layer of the organs in the digestive tract by means of enzymes and acids.
It also causes an irritable bowel through syndromes. Stinosis is also caused by
heartburn. This is when the esophagus passage narrows.
Heartburn is treated by taking He blackens, for exa .....

Diphtheria (Corynebacterium Diphtheriae)
.... highly effective methods of treatment and prevention of diphtheria
have been developed.
The study of Corynebacterium diphtheriae traces closely the development of
medical microbiology, immunology and molecular biology. Many contributions to
these fields, as well as to our understanding of host-bacterial interactions,
have been made studying diphtheria and the diphtheria toxin.
Hippocrates provided the first clinical description of diphtheria in the 4th
century B.C. There are also references to t .....

Down Syndrome Report

have some characteristic physical features, such as a small head, a flat face,
slightly upward slanted eyelids, skin folds at the inner corners of the eyes,
small nose and mouth, and small hands and feet. Most of these characteristic do
not interfere with the child's functioning, a doctor primarily uses the
characteristics for diagnostic purposes. These physical features are variable,
and children with Down syndrome are usually more like other children than they

Dreaming Problems

efficiency. Lack of sleep can lead to illness and psychiatric problems also.
An approximate 200,000 auto accidents are probably caused by sleep hindrence,
and also, an estimate was made that sleep deprivation and work cost the economy
one hundred fifty thousand dollars.
Amount of sleep necessary depends upon the individual. Some are ready
to go with six hours of sleep, while others canąt function without nine. If a
person feels unable to stay focused during monotonous or boring work, it .....

Dreams
.... by internal biological process. Some researchers have proposed the
activation-synthesis hypothesis. Their neurological research indicates that
large brain cells in the primitive brain stem spontaneously fire about every 90
minutes, sending random stimuli to cortical areas of the BRAIN. As a
consequence, memory, sensory, muscle-control, and cognitive areas of the brain
are randomly stimulated, resulting in the higher cortical brain attempting to
make some sense of it. This, according to the research, .....

Dyslexia
.... motivational, or social. It is not a problem of
vision; people with dyslexia do not “see backward.” Dyslexia results from the
differences in the structure and function of the brain. People with dyslexia
are unique; each having individual strengths and weaknesses. Many dyslexics are
creative and have unusual talent in areas such as art, athletics, architecture,
graphics, electronics, mechanics, drama, music, or engineering. Dyslexics often
show special talent in areas that require visual, spatia .....

Eating Disorders: Anorexia

person to seek treatment.
Anorexia nervosa is a disorder where people intentionally starve themselves. It
usually starts around the time of puberty and involves extreme weight loss.
Sometimes they must be hospitalized to prevent starvation because food and
weight become obsessions. For some, the compulsiveness shows up in strange
eating rituals, some even collect recipes and prepare gourmet feasts for family
and friends. Loss of monthly menstrual periods is typic .....

Ebola

completely from Ebola, it may stay in the semen for up to seven weeks. In the
African outbreaks it has also been transmitted by the reuse of needles because
the health care systems are so under financed. Ebola wasn't thought to be an
airborne virus, but recent studies by the US Army Medical Research Institute of
Infectious Diseases and the CDC found that monkeys showed Ebola like symptoms
after being exposed to aerosolized Ebola. .....

Environmental Tobacco Smoke
.... Researchers studied 1,906 women
of which 653 developed lung cancer. Women married to smokers were thirty
percent more likely to develop lung cancer than those married to non-smokers
(LeMaistre 1). According to the Environmental Protection Agency a thirty
percent risk is only a small relative risk. The Environmental Protection Agency
released its report stating that environmental tobacco smoke is a human lung
carcinogen, responsible for approximately three thousand lung cancer deaths
annually in Americ .....
