solve that obstacle. Taking away this right would be invading on a woman's
constitutional liberty.
The unwanted child also suffers. Most of the time the mother of the
unwanted child is very young and inexperienced or too poor to take care of
the child. The child is usually malnourished, has no medical care, and
gets very little attention or love. The foster care system isn't any
better. Only a small percentage of the children are adopted by suitable
parents. But the rest remain in the foster care system, where there is
little or no personal care. In both cases, the child has a poor educati ...

Alcohol And Its Effects On Humans
... half were not given alcohol (Rose 1962). The results were graphed showing the psychological and pharmacological effects of alcohol on human aggression, the effects of experimental aggression manipulations on intoxicated and sober patients and the consumption rate of selected beverages in the U.S.
According to Buss (1961), there is direct physical aggression, physical-indirect aggression, verbal-direct and verbal indirect aggression. Graphs showed the results of the experiments. They show alcohol does cause aggression. Larger efforts might be obtained if a higher alcohol dose was given. Alcohol influences othe ...

Two Brains?
... world. Your two hemispheres are as different from each other as,
oh, Micheal Wilson and Shirley Maclean. The left brain controls the right side
of the body (this is reversed in about half of the 15 percent of the population
that is left-handed) and, in essence, is logical analytical, judgemental and
verbal. It's interested in the bottom line, in being efficent. The right brain
controls the left side of the body and leans more to the creative, the intuitive.
It is concerned more with the visual and emotional side of life.
Most people, if they thought about it, would identify more with their
left brain ...

is attitude." One way to show the effects of discrimination of people with
disabilities in the workplace is to show ways people with disabilities are
discriminated against and to show what is being done to stop this raping of
the human heart.
Got a weight problem? Sure, there are a lot of diets you could try,
but why not exercise your right as a victim and strike back at
discriminatory employers? You might not lose any weight ,but at least you
can get the job you deserve. This is possible because of the courts and the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commissio ...

Brain Transplant
... the doctors knowing it. It would
also be very difficult to attach a person's brain in a different body because of
the millions of neurons that send and receive messages to and from all over the
body. It would be almost impossible to reconnect every single neuron, and
without them a person could not function normally. Many psychological effects
are also possible because the human brain is so complex. Our brain makes us who
we are, and with a different brain we would no longer be unique. A person with
a different brain would seem to be a total stranger and in many ways they would
be. Hopefully these dangero ...

Viruses: Complex Molecules Or Simple Life Forms?
... is composed of
either DNA or in the case of retroviruses, RNA, but never both. In retroviruses,
the RNA gets transcribed to DNA bye the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The
protein capsid is a protein layer that wraps around the virus. There are four
basic shapes of viruses. The tobacco mosiac, adenovirus, influenza virus, and
t-even bacteriophage are each examples of a different virus structure. Each
individual protein subunit composing the capsid is a capsomere.
The tobacco mosiac virus has a helical capsoid and is rod shaped. The
adenovirus is polyhedral and has a protein spike at each vertex. The infl ...

The History Of Medicine
... was based on
instinct, using methods of self-healing, licking, sucking, and blowing on
his lesions. Man first began to learn of anatomy through accidental or
battle wounds, cutting up animals, and even cannibalism. Tools used as
weapons were being used to make incisions. Licking and sucking were
replaced by bloodletting , scarification , amputation, and surgery with
stone tools. Copying the acts of previous monkeys, the first casts were
made of dried mud put directly on wounds. Fire brought not only burns, but
cautery .
Civilization came to be around 12,000 BC. Diseases were treated if

Alzheimer's Disease
... to the Alzheimer's brain. There was a loss of nerve cells from
the Cerebral Cortex in the Alzheimer's victim. Approxiately ten percent of
the neurons in this region were lost. But a ten percent loss is relatively
minor, and cannot account for the severe impairment suffered by Alzheimer's
victims.
Neurofibrillary Tangles are also found in the brains of Alzheimer's
victims. They are found within the cell bodies of nerve cells in the
cerebral cortex, and take on the structure of a paired helix. Other
diseases that have "paired helixes" include Parkinson's disease, Down's
Syndrome, and Dementia Pugilistica. Scient ...

Clostridium Difficile And Psuedomembranous Colitis
... can
live outside the host until orally ingested due to its sporical
capabilities. Transmission could occur from contaminated linens, bedpans,
commodes, showers, patient to patient contact, or any place where fecal
matter could be contacted. The lack of proper aseptic techniques is the
leader for the spread of this bacterium.
Psuedomembranous Colitis
Psuedomembranous colitis primarily affects the elderly and debilitated.
It usually occurs from three to ten days after that start of antibiotic
therapy, however some cases were noted to start after antibiotic therapy
had been discontinued. The antibiotics that ...
