Asthma 2
.... Patients with this condition develop a rapid pulse as the heart attempts to compensate for the lack of oxygen in the blood by beating faster. They also develop signs of exhaustion and dehydration. On a long-term basis, asthma usually is managed by determining the agent responsible for the attacks so that the patient can avoid it. When avoidance of allergens is not feasible, patients can sometimes be desensitized by injections of graded doses of the allergen at regular intervals. Relaxation and breath .....

Autism 3
.... auto, the Greek word for self,” (Hamblin 137). Kanner used this term when he studied eleven children who had a “unique form of schizophrenia” (Hamblin 136). Although, it was later determined that even though some of the characteristics of schizophrenia and autism are not the same, Kanner did open new doors for an intensive study of a confusing syndrome.
The causes of autism are unknown. In most cases, the pregnancies of mothers of autistic children were normal. Occasionally, there were cases of mat .....

Achondroplasia
.... Affected men average 51.8 inches in height, while women average 48.6 inches. There is no relationship between the height of the parents and the adult height of their children with achondroplasia.
Children with achondroplasia develop slower. It takes them along time to gain proper head control, because of the extremely large head the neck muscles have to be strong enough to support it. Children with achondroplasia commonly get middle-ear infections in the first five or six years of life, proba .....

females whose male sexual partners had AIDS; and the children of parents
with AIDS. However since 1989, heterosexual sex was found to be the
fastest growing means of transmission of the virus, with 90 percent of the
new cases coming from heterosexual sex.
How AIDS Is Spread

Alcoholism 2
.... to merely excessive or irresponsible drinking, has been variously thought of as a symptom of psychological or social stress or as a learned, maladaptive coping behavior. More recently, and probably more accurately, it has come to be viewed as a complex disease entity in its own right. Alcoholism usually develops over a period of years. Early and subtle symptoms include placing excessive importance on the availability of alcohol. Ensuring this availability strongly influences the person’s choice of ass .....

Argumentative Environment
.... the damage and work to create a sensible, practical solution to the problem of our eroding environment through cooperative efforts.
It is hard to doubt that human beings are wasting or eroding the earth which we all live on. Not only have the industrial nations altered their natural settings by overbuilding dams, destroying rain forests, and driving species out of their natural habitats to die or mutate, but they have pushed the earth close to the limits of its resources. Lame Deer charges that .....

Atom And Qi
.... Yet, Anoimenes believed ¡§mist or air was the cornerstone of matter¡¨ (Clagett, 49). These ancient thinkers made simple and direct assertions about matter. Later, the idea of the atom was conceived and developed by Leucippus and Democritus in the fifth century B.C. and concluded that there must be ¡§parts which are partless¡¨ such as sand, stone, water, or even a ¡¥void¡¦ which have the continuous and coherent appearance of a pure object though are not ¡¥true¡¦ structures (Young, 18). Therefore, .....

Capacitors
.... farad retains one coulomb of charge with one-volt difference of potential. Capacitors that use vacuum, air, or other gases are used in applications where values of capacitance required do not have to be large, but the energy loss in the dielectric must be very small. Some applications for these capacitors are in radio- frequency circuits and low- frequency measuring circuits where great precision is required. Another type of capacitor uses castor or mineral oil for the dielectric. Oil insulated capac .....

Cardiac Pacemakers
.... cardiac pacemakers have evolved from simple devices only capable of fixed-rate stimulation of a single chamber of the heart to more sophisticated "implanted computers" that medical personnel can interrogate and reprogram from outside the patient's body. These refinements have allowed for more physiologic pacing with maintenance of atrioventricular synchrony and cardiac output. There are various types of cardiac pacemakers available today that can be surgically implanted to treat specific arryhythmic di .....

Charles Darwin And Richard Owen
.... Through Barclay's
recommendation of Owen to John Abernathy, President of the Royal College of Surgeons, Owen was granted
membership to the Royal College in 1826. Owen was later appointed assistant in the cataloging of a collection
containing thirteen thousand specimens (known as the Hunterian Collection (Rupke 17)). It was probably this that
lead Owen interest in the field of anatomy, which eventually lead him into becoming a naturalist. By 1836, he
published anatomical work on the Memoir .....

Chlamydia 2
.... in diagnostic manuals. Until recently, however, there were no reliable and easy tests for chlamydia. Chlamydia prevention and patient care were impeded by the lack of suitable laboratory tests for screening and diagnosis. Such tests are now available. Through education, screening, partner referral, and proper patient care public health workers and health-care practitioners can combine efforts to decrease the morbidity and costs resulting from this infection.
Chlamydia is the number one bacterial .....

Clinical Depression A Disease Like Any Other.

It wasn't until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that physicians had a more scientific view on depression. Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer discovered that depression is a psychological and not a demonic force or organic abnormality.
Depression is caused by many factors. The loss of a loved one during childhood or other traumatic experiments (ie. abuse) can increase person's chances of developing depression later o .....

Acid Rain 8

In light of this information, many scientists believe that the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act will not be sufficient to protect lakes and forest soils of the northeastern United States from further acidification.
