The History, Use, And Effectiveness Of Medicinal Drugs
.... of a case of amputation instruments dating from about 1800.
Within medicine the most crucial component, besides the
professional Doctors,
Nurses and Pharmacologists are the drugs that make it possible for
millions of
humans everyday to overpower their ailments. Within the field of
Medicine,
Pharmacology is the study and methodology behind the actions of
drugs and
their reactions in the human body. Many early treatments didn't
actually heal
the patient, but just gave him a slight euphoria from the pain.

Dreams
.... of sleep. In this stage the E. E. G, a machine
that measures types of brain waves, shows many alpha signals. Alpha signals
really are fast low voltage brain signals. The sleeper can also be easily
awakened while in this stage of sleep. The next level of sleep is stage
two. In which the brain shows sporatic brain wave signals which consist of
high-voltage activity known as sleep spindles. Many people have been know
to sleep walk while in this stage. The next level of sleep is stage three.
In this stage the brain produces the highest voltage brain waves. This
informs us of the appearance of delta waves. While in this stage th .....

Vegetarianism
.... of meat or given up eating red meat. To truly be
vegetarian one must not eat any flesh, although some people eat no meat
except for fish and consider themselves vegetarian. The first type of
vegetarian is a lacto-ovo-vegetarian. They eat both dairy products and
eggs, but do not consume meat. It is fairly easy to get enough nutrients
with a lacto-ovo diet. The second style of vegetarianism is a lacto-
vegetarian who eats dairy but no meat or eggs. Very few people choose to
be a lacto-vegetarian because most people think that eating eggs is very
similar to eating dairy products in the way that each is produced. The
third .....

Why IQ Tests Don't Test Intelligence
.... To test a person's mind, it is necessary to
utilize their body in the process. If everyone's body is placed in
different conditions during the testing, how is it expected to get
standardized results across all the subjects? Because of this assumption
that everyone will perform equally independent of their environment,
intelligence test scores are skewed and cannot be viewed as standardized,
and definitely not as an example of a person's intelligence.
It is obvious that a person's intelligence stems from a variety of
traits. A few of these that are often tested are reading comprehension,
vocabulary, and spatial relations. Bu .....

Modern Technology And Medicine
.... the therapy provided by those
agents. The goal was to create a drug which could inactivate PNP until
therapy for these agents were complete. A computer was used to create a
model of the protein in order to understand each aspect of this model .
the computers assessed the chemicals which could possibly fulfill the code
of this protein, and begin fitting it into the simulated molecule . when
it came to the real thing everything was accomplished the only problem was
that the lack of technology in the 70;s led them only to tale pictures and
study them with x-ray technology. This data revealed to them that that PNP

Dreams

impression of ceaseless mental activity differing in quality from that of
ordinary waking life (Fine, 1973). In fact, the quality of mental activity
during sleep differed so radically from what we take to be the essence of
mental functioning that Freud coined the term "Kingdom of the Illogical" to
describe that realm of the human psyche. This technique of dream-
interpretation allowed him to penetrate (Fine, 1973).
We dream every single night whether it stays with us or not. It is a time
when "our minds bring together material which is kept apart during out
waking hours" (Anonym .....

The Dangers Of Smoking
.... of this would help deplete the smoking population.
Once a teen is addicted, at such a young age breaking the addiction
is more difficult. Teenagers are adolescents and their minds are still
developing. The task of breaking an addiction requires a mature,
responsible and dedicated intellect. It is for this reason that smoking in
teens should be treated like any other drug addiction.
Alcohol and drug addiction is treated with a very controlled and
monitored therapeutic program. High schools should run programs that
involve counseling and group sessions for cigarette addicts. Emphasis has
to be placed on self-responsibili .....

AIDS In The Classroom
.... Referring to my earlier statement that kids will be kids. Also,
what kind of environment is it to learn in when your teacher can't treat
your scrapes without putting rubber gloves on first, a situation which will
certainly lead to ridicule from peers.
There is a simpler, more affective way of dealing with this issue.
EDUCATE. By educating the parents and teachers about the facts of AIDS and
HIV and how it is transmitted addresses both parties needs. The parents
know the facts and can decide rationally on the steps they will take
concerning their children, and the AIDS victim has a better chance of being
treated .....

Obesity
.... in commercial weight-
loss programs, but results should be viewed skeptically.
Because measuring a person's body fat is tricky, doctors often rely on
other means to diagnose obesity. Two widely used measurements are weight-
for-height tables and body mass index. While both measurements have their
limitations, they are reliable indicators that someone may have a weight
problem. They are easy to calculate and require no special equipment.
One problem with using weight-for-height tables is that doctors disagree
over which is the best table to use. Many versions are available, all with
different weight ranges. Some tables take a per .....

Dissociative Identity Disorder
.... is indicated by not only loss of memory, but also travel
to a now location and the assumption of a new identity. Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD), although not officially a dissociative disorder,
can be classified as part of the dissociative spectrum. In PTSD, re-
experiencing of the trauma (flashbacks) alternates with numbing (detachment
or dissociation), and avoidance. Atypical dissociative disorders are
classified as Dissociative Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (DDNOS). If
the disturbance occurs primarily in identity with parts of the self
assuming separate identities, the resulting disorder is Dissociative Ident

Anorexia Nervosa

The American Anorexia Nervosa Association defines anorexia as a
"serious illness of deliberate self-starvation with profound psychiatric
and physical components."
Now that we know what anorexia means, lets narrate how this disease
came to be noticeable. We have the knowledge that anorexia nervosa is
affecting a greater number of individuals. Although it was discovered not
so long ago, anorexia nervosa has been around for quite a while.
According to Neuman, there is evidence of the presence of an identical
condition that proceeds from ancient times, long before the diagno .....

The Ebola Virus

taken.
This Ebola cell is shaped as a long filamentous, and sometimes are
also found in "U" shaped. The virus consists of a coiled strand of RNA
contained in a envelope derived from the host cell membrane that is covered
with spikes.
The transmission of the Ebola virus occurs by direct contack with
bodily fluids of and ifected patient. The handling of chimpanzees that aer
either ill or have died from the virus can also transmit the virus.
The way the virus uses to make its way into the host cell is
unknown at this time. It is assumed that the genetic characteristics are
most likel .....
