Baseball
.... At first, the athletes thought I was telling them to
put their mask on as an authoritative figure; however, after I explained to them
it was for their own good, and I was only looking out for their safety, they
realized why I was doing it. I believe one way to get the respect of the
athletes and coaches on a team is to let them see you care about them, and you
as the trainer care about them winning.
Warming and cooling down before and after practice is another good way
to prevent injury. Warming up by running and then stretching will help prevent
injury. Light jogging gets the blood supply flowing and will enhanc .....

Safe Sex Vs. Unsafe Sex
.... It does, however,
greatly reduce the chances. There are many examples of sexually active
couples where one member has AIDS disease and the other remains seronegative
even after many months of safe sex with the diseased person. It is
particularly encouraging to note that, due to education programs among San
Francisco gay males, the incidence of new cases of AIDS infection among
that high risk group has dropped massively. Between practice of safe sex and
a significant reduction in the number of casual sexual contacts, the spread
of AIDS is being massively slowed in that group. Similar responsible
action MUST be taken by straight fol .....

Schitzophrenia, Childhood, Mental, Anxiety And Other Disorders
.... inflicted with a disorder. This is mainly
because in the early 1900's people thought that people with disorders were just
stupid and they did not investigate further into the matter. The quanity of
people that have a disorder is unknown. There is an estimated guess that 15% of
the U.S. population has some sort of disorder but that is not factual. This is
because the survey people only can estimate from the people who check
theirselves into a institution, the ones who do so make up 3% of the 15%
estimation. The U.S. in 1990 spent an estimated 148 billion on treating mental
diorders.

Schizophrenia
.... in its primary logic, the
actual execution of the concept has been greatly undermined by the lack of good
community alternatives. At this time a large amount of the individuals using
community mental health treatment services are the homeless. Nearly half of the
homeless are chronically mental ill. These individuals are often separated from
their families and all alone on the dangerous street. These homeless
schizophrenics stay away from social structures such as community health
treatment centers. Since they start a new life of independence they often stop
taking their medications, become psychotic and out of place, and begin .....

Schizophrenia

illness to decide what is real and what is not (Swados 5). It is also clear
that this brain disease affects normal, intelligent people in all walks of life.
There are six concrete phrases that describe schizophrenia: it is a real
disease, has concrete and specific symptoms, is different from other mental
illnesses, is the result of flaws brain biochemistry, may be treated by specific
antipsychotic drugs, and is almost always treatable.
Scientist are unsure of the causes of schizophrenia, although research
is progressing rapidly. Scientist are almost certain that schizophrenia has

Schizophrenia: Explained And Treatments
.... is possessed of great wealth, intellect, importance or power.
Sometimes the patient may think he is George Washington or another great
historical person (Chapman). Hallucinations are common, particularly auditory,
as voices in the third person or commenting upon the patient's thoughts and
actions (Arieti). Persons may also hear music or see nonexistent images
(Sinclair). Schizophrenic thought disorder is the diminished ability to think
clearly and logically (Torrey 2). Many times, schizophrenics invent new words
(called neologisms) with unique meanings (Chapman). Often it is apparent by
disconnected and meaningless language tha .....

Schizophrenia
.... to the Encyclopedia Of Health,
schizophrenics account for nearly 40% of admissions to state mental hospitals,
30% of psychiatric admissions to Veterans Administration hospitals, and about
20% of admissions to private psychiatric hospitals. Schizophrenia is incurable.
Its cause or causes are yet unknown, and it is impossible to predict what course
the disease will take. There are many theories about the causes of schizophrenia,
its progression, and its eventual outcome. They are currently being explored by
researchers around the world.
Schizophrenia's most dramatic symptoms are severe and perpetual
delusions and hallucinati .....

Sexual Transmitted Diseases Defined
.... parts:
treatment, counseling, and following up. Sometimes treatment is given in a
single dose but in sometimes you have to take it more than once. A person can
still be infected even if the symptoms go away. That is why a follow-up visit
is important. To avoid spreading the infection the person should not have sex
until the doctor says that it is cured. It can take up to fourteen days. This
stops the Ping Pong effect.
GENITAL HERPES
This infection is caused by the Herpes simplex virus. The symptoms are
similar, and can result from either oral-to-genital or genital-to-genital
contact. The virus causes blisters on the genitals, .....

Skin Cancer
.... UV light that reaches the earth's surface
and its people. Very simply, sunburn and UV light can damage the skin and lead
to skin cancer (1., p 1). The American Cancer Society also faulted repeated
exposure to x-rays, artificial forms of UV radiation like tanning beds, and
contact with chemicals like coal tar and arsenic as other causes of skin cancer
(4., p 1). Additionally, if there is a history of skin cancer in the family, an
individual may be at a higher risk (1., p 1). Individuals who have experienced
only one serious sunburn have increased their risk of skin cancer by as much as
50% (1., p 4).

Sleeping Disorders

There have only been three standard types of insomnia that have been
identified by doctors. They are as follows:
- Transient insomnia is considered a few sleepless nights that is usually
brought on by stress, excitement, or environmental changes. A person could have
trouble sleeping the evening before a big meeting or shortly after a breakup or
a fight with his girlfriend. - Short-term insomnia is usually two or three
weeks of poor sleep caused by continual stress at work or at home, as well as
medical and psychiatric illnesses. Eliminating the source of the stress usually

Small Pox
.... is reproduced in the lymphoid tissue and released into the body.
Virus reproduction begins when the virion comes into contact with a suitable
host cell. The virus must interact with a receptor on the cell surface. The
infectious cycle usually consists of two stages. The first stage makes the
proteins necessary for the protein to form. The second stage forms the adult
virion to start the attack on the body. Smallpox attack with no warning.
There are several painful symptoms that are brought upon by this disease.
In most of the cases, symptoms in a new victim will occur ten to twelve days
later. Patients will develop chi .....
