... palliative care
requires limited use of apparatus and technology, extensive personal care, and
an ordering of the physical and social environment to be therapeutic in itself.
There are, as it were, two complementary systems of treatment which may often
overlap: One system is concerned with eliminating a curable disease and the
other with relieving the symptoms resulting from the relentless progress of an
incurable illness. There must be openness, interchange, and overlap between the

patient should not be subjected to aggressive treatment that ...

Sickle Cell Anemia
... pass through the body’s blood vessels. Instead, they clog the blood vessels, block the flow of blood, and cut off the oxygen supply to tissues and organs. This lack of oxygen can damage the body’s organs and limbs, and it causes sever pain to any affected area. Also, since sickled blood cells last only 10 to 20 days in the bloodstream, compared to a normal red cell’s life span of 120 days, the “sickled” cells result in chronic anemia (abnormally low levels of red blood cells).

Steroids
... college. Most sports activities are
weight lifting, power lifting, and body builders are the primary steroid
users. Over 50% of male and 10% of female bodybuilders report using
steroids.
Some side affects to using steroids for men is rage, which is when
you can no longer control your attitude and it boils over resulting in
massive hysteria. Also shrinking of the male reproductive organ. Later in
life the pecks will start to look more like breasts. In women they will be
basically taking the hormone they lack to be a man, so their voice deepens,
body hair develops. They start to look more like a man.

muscles (dah). The muscles are divided in visceral or involuntary or smooth (The
one in the organs, like intestines), skeletal or voluntary or striated (found
superficial to the bones, like biceps, triceps...) and cardiac (heart). Their
functions are movement, to maintain body posture & tone and in the production of
body heat.
Now its time for the Nervous System. Its constructed of the brain, the spinal
cord and the nerves (neurons). Its functions are to communicate (fast with short

The Human Brain Vs. The Computer
... created them. Is this a good reason why the
computer must be inferior to humans? Is it always true that the object cannot
surpass its creator? How can this be true? Even if we just focus on a single
creation of man, say the subject of this essay, the computer, there are many
ways in which the computer has the edge over man. Let us start with basic
calculation. The computer has the capability to evaluate problems that man can
hardly even imagine, let alone approach. Even if a man can calculate the same
problems as a computer, the computer can do it far faster than he can possibly
achieve. Let us go one step fu ...

The Ebola Virus

where documented with 550 cases and 430 deaths.
Scientist have concluded that there are three different strains of
the Ebola virus. The scientist have been able to diagnosed the virus y a
technique called ELISA(enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay, this technique
looks for specific viral proteins mode from the infected patient. When the
virus is detected there is stricked safety precautions all nurses and
others have to go through and do. The CDC has classified the Ebola virus as
a Biosafety level 4, which means that the greatest safety precautions are
taken.

Smoking
... or by chance). The results of this experiment
showed that those individuals across the three groups who had high levels of
self-efficacy was related not to the number of attempts to quit, but the success
of the attempts, while "the role of Health Locus of Control [was found to be]
complex needing further investigation" (Stuart, Borland, & McMurray, 1994, p. 1).
The second article for review is titled, Sensation Seeking, Nicotine
Dependence, and Smoking Motivation in Female and Male Smokers. This study was
conducted using a sample of French smokers (36 F, 60 M) and non-smokers (23 F,
45 M). The goal of the ex ...

Dreams
... eliminating extraneous information build-up in the memory
system; and (6) that, in a more cognitive psychological explanation, REM
dreaming enhances memory storage and reorganization.
Contrary to popular belief, dreaming is not caused by eating certain
foods before bedtime, nor by environmental stimuli during sleeping. Dreaming is
caused 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 ...

Turner's Syndrome
... in a female that has only one X chromosome, producing a
male body type: short, with a broad neck, and usually lacking female
internal reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics. The
patient is usually sterile and pregnancy is rare. Other signs and symptoms
include a low hairline, webbed neck, shield-shaped chest with widely spaced
nipples, and usually kidney and heart malformations. The patient may also

retarded.
Despite many efforts, no real causes have been found to be linked to
this condition. It appears be a random even ...

What Is Euthanasia?

professional carries out to help his/her patient achieve a good death.
Suicide, self-deliverance, auto-euthanasia, aid-in-dying, assisted suicide
-- call it what you like -- can be justified by the average supporter of
the so-called "right to die movement" for the following reasons: The first
reason is that an advanced terminal illness is causing unbearable suffering
to the individual. This suffering is the most common reason to seek an
early end. Second, a grave physical handicap exists that is so restricting
that the ...
