... or vaccination. Unlike the AIDS virus which can take up to 8 to 10 years to kill you, this virus can take as little as to 8 to 10 hours to result fatally. It starts off with a fever and symptoms of the flu. Then the muscles in your face stop moving freezing your face into a mask. Just before death, you start to bleed from every opening in your body starting from your nose and mouth to your gums. Your internal organs liquefy and you vomit them up. In reality, the virus has attempted to turn its host into a virus. You are dead before you have even started to show signs of this virus. It is believed that it is some s ...

... Most physicians' training and practice focus more heavily on the audiologic and pathologic aspects of hearing loss--etiology, detection and treatment--than on the issues that affect successful communication. An improved physician-patient alliance may be achieved with a better understanding of background issues, assistive devices, interview techniques and sources of further information. Guidelines for assessment of deaf and hard-of-hearing patients are provided in Table 1. Table 2 provides suggestions for conducting interviews with these patients. Illustrative Case A 60-year-old deaf woman, a native user of Amer ...

... virus that causes AIDS, I went through so many emotions. I ask myself, “How did it happen and why did it happen?� None of it really matters because even if I knew the answers I would not be able to change what happened. All I can do now is try to deal with the situation the best I can. Guilt is a form of pain because all I would do is sit and wish that it was someone else with the virus instead of somebody I love. I need to put my guilt and pain aside so my loved one does not see the pain and suffering that was accidentally forced upon them by a blood trusfusion or by their own bad judgment and the agony cau ...

... wastes. When lead enters the environment, it starts to become a problem. After a period of about ten days, depending on the weather, it falls to the surface. Here lead builds up in the soil particles. Where it may make its way into underground water or drinking water due to the fact the grounds acidic or if it's soft enough. Either way it stays a long time on the soil or in water. Months or years down the road after the lead has built up it starts to become a problem for children that play outside of their homes (Xintaras, 1993). These lead containing soil particles get on the child's hands or clothing and ...

... organisation's because of CIS. It would be stupid to believe that ESW's can walk amongst broken bones, burning bodies's, handle body part's, assist with the distraught survivor's and view terrible destruction without being effected in some way by such graphic exposure. People suffering from this experience physical, emotional and cognitive effects.(Mitchell 86). CIS reaction's are incident specific. They may be either Acute or Delayed.(Mitchell 81) An acute CIS reaction begins while the ESW is engaged with on scene operations. It is an incident that is often very disturbing for ESW's and may become physically ...

... control over it (O'Hair, D.)." The principles of biofeedback date back more than a half a century. "Biofeedback" is a term that was coined in the late 1960's. The theories involved in biofeedback and psychophysiology began with the study on homeostatic mechanisms. The human organism insures its survival through the maintenance of homeostasis. In order to control or altar behavior, a person must have information that is available through the senses. In biofeedback, the client obtains information about his biological state from feedback from the sensors. Margolin and Kubic (1944) conducted an early example of t ...

... The unborn human is still a human life and not all the wishful thinking of those advocating repeal of abortion laws, can alter this. Those of us who would seek to protect the human who is still to small to cry aloud for it's own protection, have been accused of having a 19th Century approach to life in the last third of the 20th Century. But who in reality is using arguments of a bygone Century? It is an incontrovertible fact of biological science - Make no Mistake - that from the moment of conception, a new human life has been created. Only those who allow their emotional passion to overide their knowled ...

... of the cell. These cells eventually become abnormal growths and can be recognized as not normal tissue. These traits are passed down as the cell reproduces therefore spreading the cancer. Neoplasms are generally classified into two groups: malignant and benign. Malignant tumors, or abnormal tissue, grow more rapidly than benign tissue and they invade normal tissue. Benign tissue is structured similar to normal tissue while malignant tissue is abnormal and has an unstructured appearance. Of greater importance, benign tissue does not metastasize, or begin to grow in other sites, like malignant tumors do. Cancer al ...

... (1). is a disease that usually affects the skin, nerves and the mucus membranes (: the Disease 1). The bacteria which causes is called Mycobacterium leprae. This particular bacteria is a cousin to the tuberculosis bacteria and shares many of the characteristics (A Brief 2). The bacteria is very slow developing and attacks the nerves, especially those of the hands, feet, and also the face. When the bacteria affects the nerves, they become swollen and numb which causes a loss of sensation in that particular area (2). Due to this loss of feeling sufferers are more susceptible to burns and other injuries. These ...
