- 2634: Hepatitis
- ... effective way to prevent chronic infection is to vaccinate against it during the neonate stage up to the age of 5, the period of where the risk is the highest. Therefore, instead of targeting elementary school children, the ministry of health should have been inoculating neonates for their first priority. Hepatitis B (HBV) is a liver disease that causes inflammation of the liver. This inflammation can cause liver cell damage, which ... a misguided example by targeting children in grade six, because of the province's relatively high rates of acute hepatitis B in teenagers and young adults, especially around the greater Vancouver region. Supposedly, with the school child vaccination, one could observe tangible reduction in acute HBV infection within only a few years, rather than within 15-20 years with the neonatal program.

He appeared completely beaten as he lay his head in his hands, contemplating ... finished writing.

- ... States, have instituted stringent rules for testing long-term foreign visitors or potential immigrants for AIDS, as well as testing returning foreign nationals. In the United States one frequent phenomenon is the effort to keep school-age children with AIDS isolated from their classmates, if not out of school altogether.

- 2640: Advice I Often Receive From Parents
- Advice I Often Receive From Parents A piece of advice that I often receive is "as long as you do your best." This refers to success in everything from school to careers.
