The Parkinson Patient At Home
Number of words: 1344 | Number of pages: 5.... with an illness such as this unless you know what it is. It may sometimes be diffi- cult to decide what to tell the neighbors and visitors who come regularly to the house as well as servants and others around the patient and family. It is, nevertheless, our opinion that you should be frank and honest in telling them that he has Parkinson's disease. Frankness of this type eliminates guesses that involve insanity, feeblemindedness, alcoholic brain disease, cancer of the brain, impending stroke, or something worse.

Down Syndrome: An Informative Essay
Number of words: 468 | Number of pages: 2.... it
can not really be proven that Down Syndrome is hereditary. A perfectly healthy
mother could have a Down Syndrome baby even though there was never any sign of
the disorder in her pedigree. There are however, three different kinds of Down
Syndrome. 95% of Down Syndrome babies have Trisomy 21. This is the presence of
extra genetic material on the 21st pair of chromosomes. Around 4% have what is
called Translocation. This is where the extra chromosome 21 decided to break
away and attach itself to another chromosome. The last 1% is made up of those
with Mosaicism. This is where some cells have Trisomy 21 while others do not.

Cognitive Development In Children
Number of words: 1148 | Number of pages: 5.... and focuses on the more narrow, continuous, quantitative changes (Westen, 1996).
Though these theories approach cognitive development from different angles, their advancements into how a child constructs thought and thinks are not totally at odds with one another as they similarly compare in some aspects.
This essay will discuss how these two theories compare and contrast, and in conclusion elucidate why Mary's seven-year-old son sometimes thinks very differently to his three-year-old brother.
Body of Evidence

nicotine, and marijuana.
Nowadays, drugs are a big problem in our society. The only drugs that
you should take should be drugs that your doctor prescribed for you. And you

be poisonous if you take too much.

The Cystic Fibrosis Gene
Number of words: 2157 | Number of pages: 8.... when searching for the CF gene. To find
the gene responsible for CF, the principle of "reverse genetics" was
applied. Scientists accomplished this by linking the disease to a specific
chromosome. After this linkage, they isolated the gene of interest on the
chromosome and then tested its product.
Before the disease could be linked to a specific chromosome, a marker
needed to be found that would always travel with the disease. This marker
is known as a Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism or RFLP for short.
RFLP's are varying base sequences of DNA in different individuals which are
known to travel with genetic disorders.3 Th .....

to be able to survive against that disease. What happened to those children?

cell anemia onto their offspring.
This disease is a hereditary blood disorder that affects the red blood cell.
Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin which transports oxygen from
your lungs to every part of your body. Hemoglobin's oxygen carrying ability is
essential for living but if there is a structural defect on the pigmented
molecule, it can be fatal. When a normal red blood cell .....

in size. If this increase is insufficient, the wisdom teeth may become
impacted, that is wedged between the jawbone and other teeth, sometimes
resulting in pain and inflammation. The upper teeth, called maxillary, and
the lower teeth, called mandibular, are shaped in such a manner that they
interdigitate (fit together) when the jaws are closed. This fit is
essential for the teeth to function properly when biting food with the
incisors (front teeth) and when chewing and grinding food with the back
teeth (molars and premolars). The molars and premolars have large surfaces
with points ( .....
