of heartburn, you must cut down on the causes.

.... and molecular biology. Many contributions to
these fields, as well as to our understanding of host-bacterial interactions,
have been made studying diphtheria and the diphtheria toxin.
Hippocrates provided the first clinical description of diphtheria in the 4th
century B.C. There are also references to the disease in ancient Syria and Egypt.
In the 17th century, murderous epidemics of diphtheria swept Europe; in Spain
"El garatillo" (the strangler"), in Italy and Sicily, "the gullet disease".

not interfere with the child's functioning, a doctor primarily uses the
characteristics for diagnostic purposes. These physical features are variable,

Individuals with Down syndrome also often have certain medical
conditions such as weak muscles, neurological impairments, heart disease,
intestinal abnormalities, poorly functioning thyroid gland, eye abnormalities,
hearing problems, and skeletal problems. Almost all children with Down syndrome
are mentally retarded, in th .....

Dreaming Problems
.... that sleep deprivation and work cost the economy
one hundred fifty thousand dollars.
Amount of sleep necessary depends upon the individual. Some are ready
to go with six hours of sleep, while others canąt function without nine. If a
person feels unable to stay focused during monotonous or boring work, it is
possible they may need more sleep. Also, need for sleep doesnąt decline with
age, it just may be more difficult to retain the ablility to sleep, as one may
lose vision or hearing.
Sleep is not just a time of relaxation and rest for the body. In fact,
the body is doing as much (almost) when asleep (sometimes) as when awak .....

Dreams
.... fire about every 90
minutes, sending random stimuli to cortical areas of the BRAIN. As a
consequence, memory, sensory, muscle-control, and cognitive areas of the brain
are randomly stimulated, resulting in the higher cortical brain attempting to
make some sense of it. This, according to the research, gives rise to the
experience of a dream. Now, as in the past, the most significant controversy
centers on the question of whether dreams have intentional, or actual personal,
meaning. Many psychotherapists maintain that while the neurological impulses
from the brain stem may activate the dreaming process, the content or meanin .....

are unique; each having individual strengths and weaknesses. Many dyslexics are
creative and have unusual talent in areas such as art, athletics, architecture,

Sometimes they must be hospitalized to prevent starvation because food and
weight become obsessions. For some, the compulsiveness shows up in strange
eating rituals, some even collect recipes and prepare gourmet feasts for family

disorder and men with this disorder usually become impotent.

Ebola

the health care systems are so under financed. Ebola wasn't thought to be an
airborne virus, but recent studies by the US Army Medical Research Institute of
Infectious Diseases and the CDC found that monkeys showed Ebola like symptoms
after being exposed to aerosolized Ebola. The studies also found that the virus
is many times present in the respiratory systems of Ebola victims. Although the
1989 outbreak in Reston, Virginia wasn't harmful to humans, it was found that
droplet and vomit transmission played a major role in spreading the disease
through the quarantine facility.
The onset of the Ebol .....

classified as a Group A carcinogen, the highest ranking under the EPA's
carcinogen assessment guidelines.

Epidemiology Of Varsity Sports
.... in 1982 found an injury rate of 41.7 per
100 players. Of these injuries 56.9% were ankle sprains, 24.1% were muscle
strains. 76.2% of the sprains and strains occurred to the lower extremities.
Injured fingers ( which were the only upper extremity injuries) accounted for
14.3% of the injuries and 4.8% of the injuries were reported as facial.
All information for this study was collected through the use of injury
forms completed by the coaches, and information forms by each player, injured or
not.
In a separate study for the American Journal of Sports Medicine by
Clarke and Buckley in 1980 on injuries incurred in colleg .....

Ethical Problem: Drinking Alcohol
.... from drinking nor did
it do much in the way of stopping them after they had started. The law was too
easy to avoid so getting caught by the cops was rarely a matter of great concern.
Besides, even when one of my friends would get caught, they were usually
released to their parents with nothing more than a stern warning from the
officer who gave them the ride home.
Now, being at home brings up another reason not to drink. We all want to
try to obey our parents, right! Well actually, I did, want to try that is.
This stage of moral functioning is called Conformity. Here you try to be good
boys and girls. I wasn't goi .....

Vaccine
.... done by the panel,
which proved vaccination risks to be 'too small to count', contains many
weaknesses. McTaggart links the appearance of learning disabilities, autism, and
hyperactivity to the beginning of the mass vaccination programs (1). Thus,
vaccination is directly related to many diseases, in which some are still
unknown. McTaggart adds that the mumps vaccine has proved to be a direct cause
of seizures, meningitis, deafness, and encephalitis. (6). These are extremely
dangerous and unrecoverable diseases. Dr J Anthony Morris, an immunization
specialist formerly of America's 'National Institutes of Health' and 'Food and
