... common after an abortion, like
inflammation of the reproductive organs. As well, there is strong evidence that
abortion increases the risk of breast cancer. Women that abort increase their
chances of getting breast cancer by 50%, and teenagers with no previous
pregnancies that abort after the 8th week increase their probability by 800%.

abortions: 75,000 of them die of self-inflicted abortions; 75,000 die of

Dreaming: Function And Meaning
... information about the self
or some aspects of one's life which can be extracted hy various methods of
interpretation. This camp takes its credo from the Talmudic aphorism that
"and uninterpreted dream is like an unopened letter." There is also a third
camp occupying tltL middle ground, that believes both
of the extreme positions on the function and meaning of dreams to be
partly right and partly wrong. Its proponents argue that dreams may have
both physiological and psychological determinants, and therefore can be
either meaningful or meaningless, varying greatly in terms of psychological
significance.

Premature Infancy
... into shock by a loud sound or even bright light. This occurs because
many babies have fully-developed senses and underdeveloped organs, which may
become a problem, since the brain may not be developed well enough to be able
to distinguish these different senses, which causes the baby to panic and lose
control of its actions.
The main underdeveloped parts of a premature baby are its organs,
chiefly the lungs and the brain. The lungs are developed in the last few weeks
of pregnancy, and if the child is born before the thirty sixth week, he/she may
require some special attention. Usually, the child is monitored c ...

The Negative Portrayal Of LSD
... success, and a house with a white picket fence still existed within the pandemonium of the nation and many still relished in the idea of “Americanism.” Television was a base for a magnitude of world news and national information. Television situation comedies created ideal families and contenting distractions from unsettling national realities. Mainstream media, both fact and fiction, influenced the nation’s minds resulting in the effect of political change and further media influence over the government. The new decade, along with the effects of the Vietnam War and the strong influence of television, beg ...

AIDS - What's New ?
... AIDS can strike
anyone. It is not necessarily confined to a few high-risk groups. We must
all protect ourselves from this infection and teach our children about it
in time to take effective precautions. Given the right measures, no one
need get AIDS.
The pandemic continues: -----------------------
Many of us have forgotten about the virulence of widespread epidemics,
such as the 1917/18 influenza pandemic which killed over 21 million people,

modern antibiotics and vaccines about our ability to conquer infections,
the Western world was ill pre ...

Asthma In A Fitness/School Setting
... bronchi are pulled open and the obstruction is thereby reduced. On the other hand, forced expiration tends to compress bronchi and increase the obstruction. Consequently inspiration is much easier than expiration; the difficult breathing of asthma differs in fact from all other forms of difficult breathing, in being mainly expiratory in character (Mezei, 1988). Not to be confused with asthma is a similar, but less intense, tightening of the bronchial muscles that occurs in people who are exposed to large amounts of noxious fumes, tobacco smoke, and other pollutants. The body attempts to protect itself against ...
