Definition Of The Oedipus Complex
.... that we find the fateful
combination of love for the one parent and simultaneous hatred for the other as
a rival. Freud believed Oedipal was a normal part of human psychological growth
and it is during this stage children produce emotional conflicts.
Other psychoanalysts believed that girls experience a parallel called
the "Electra Complex". This comes from a Greek legend of a women named Electra
who helped plan the murder of her mother.
The Oedipus Complex originates from a myth about a Greek hero named
Oedipus, written by Sophocles. Oedipus was the son of Laius and Jocasta who in

Herpes-Simplex: Type 2
.... going along with a rise in general of many sexually
transmitted diseases. Sometimes accompanied by headache and fever, the condition
usually begins with a mild itching, followed by the development of clusters of
blisters that break and crust to form scabs that eventually dry up. The process
may last one to three weeks. In many cases new clusters of blisters appear as
others heal. When a baby is born to a woman who has active genital herpes
lesions, the infant is at high risk of contracting an infection that is often
fatal, so these women usually have their babies delivered by a cesarian section.
Primary cases of genital herpes .....

Multiple Births
.... children. These drugs cause
the ovaries to release an egg once a month but in some cases they release more
than one egg, sometimes releasing several at a time, increasing the chances of a
multiple birth. The drug clomiphene citrate is one of the most widely taken
fertility drug and has resulted in the birth of twins about once in every twelve
births, much greater than the chances of the birth of natural twins.
Twins are the most common form of a multiple pregnancy. About one in
eighty-seven births result in the birth of twins. Twins can be fraternal, also
known as dizygotic twins, or identical, also called monozygotic twins .....

AIDS
.... people, I believe they should have condom machines in girl and guys school
bathrooms. I also feel that they should be distributed in school social events
such as dances or proms, when it is most likely that they will be having sex.
Giving youth condoms is not encouraging sex, in my opinion yet it is educated
them that they must protect themselves not only from unwanted pregnancies or
venereal disease but from death, and from future spread of this epidemic.
Studies shown that 50% of infected people are youths between the ages of 15 to
24 years of age. (Public Health Reports Jul. 1995, v110n4, p462-466. If this is

AIDS
.... the United
States, AIDS cases have been reported in about 162 countries worldwide. Sub-
Saharan Africa in particular appears to suffer a heavy burden of this illness.
No cure or vaccine now exists for AIDS. Many of those infected with HIV may not
even be aware that they carry and can spread the virus. It is evident that HIV
infection represents an epidemic of serious proportions. Combating it is a
major challenge to biomedical scientists and health-care providers. HIV
infection and AIDS represent one of the most pressing public policy and public
health problems worldwide.

Female Genital Mutilation: Long Term Psychological Effects
.... the practice are
bewildering and unfounded in any scientific or medical fact. They fall into four
main categories: psycho-sexual, religious, sociological and hygienic. Among the
psycho-sexual reasons is a belief that the clitoris is an aggressive organ that
threatens the male organ and even endangers babies during delivery. It is
believed that if a baby's head touches the mother's clitoris during birth, the
child will be born with a low IQ. Hence, a girl who is not circumcised, is
considered 'unclean' by local villagers and thus unmarriageable. A girl who does
not have here clitoris removed is considered a great danger and ultima .....

Muscle Growth
.... contains millions of
muscle fibres whose coordinated contraction cause the whole muscle to contract.
Muscles are the foundation on which our bodies are built. Without muscles our
bodies could not perform the simplest tasks such as opening our eyes, talking,
breathing and even the pumping of our heart or the most difficult tasks, such as
running the hurdles in a track and field event.. Muscles are also important to
maintain balance and posture.
Description of Muscles
In the body there are several types of muscles that control different functions
in the body, one of these types being skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is the

but in a rare amount of cases, this protein is present by immunoassay but
defective. Haemophilia A is the most common severe bleeding disorder and
approximately 1 in 10,000 males is effected. The most common types of bleeding
are into the joints and muscles. Haemophilia is severe if the factor VIII:C
levels are less that 1 %, they are moderate if the levels are 1-5% and they are
mild if they levels become 5+%.

Alcohol Consumption By Adolescents

personality and behavior problems, because today's society has accepted the
casual use of alcohol (Effects, 1996, 1). Among men, research suggests that
greater alcohol use is related to greater sexual aggression (Shalala, 1995, 2).
Students living on campuses with higher proportions of binge drinkers experience
more incidents of assault and unwanted sexual advances because of their peers'
drinking than do students residing on campuses with lower proportions of binge
drinkers (Shalala, 1995, 2). Some campuses sponsor alcohol awareness events and
classroom lectures and distribute information about alcohol use. Although such

Nursing: Lifting, Transferring And Positioning Of Patients
.... as the nurse
should elicit information from the client to find out how and when they prefer
to be moved. This allows the patient to be involved in the decision making
process and be fully aware of what is occurring. By communicating with the
client, the nurse is also aware of whether or not the patient is experiencing
any discomfort during or after the lift.
The actions of lifting, transferring or positioning need to be completed for
numerous reasons, including relief of pressure points. Due to the patient being
in one position continuously, they are prone to the development of pressure
areas. In terms of patient needs, bei .....

AIDS Research

the research. The amount of money needed for the research may seem like it is a
lot, but it is worth it. It is worth it because if you consider the amount of
money that we give to foreign countries to aid their economy we could be using
this money to save peoples lives all around the world. People are dieing
everyday, and many more are in hospitals; so if we find the cure we will save
lives, and get these people who have contracted the disease out of hospitals,
and living on their own again.
Furthermore, research to stop the spread of A.I.D.S must be done. Meanwhile,
in the search for a cure, .....

In males, gonorhea usually strikes first at the urethra, the
tube that extends from the bladder to the tip of the penis. A burning sensation
during urination may be experienced due to the irritation of the urethra's
mucosal lining. Many males may also notice and abnormal discharge from the penis.
The penis itself may be red or swollen at the tip. Urination may become more
frequent or difficult. Occasionally, no symptoms are evident immediately.
In females, gonorrhea seems to strike selectively at the cervix
(the entrance of the uterus, but it also can appear elsewhere. As many as 80% of
