.... play a big role in the immune system, their presence is very damaging. also infects another part of the immune system. Once the virus gets to the macrophages, it doesn't destroy them, but instead it stores it there. Later the macrophages carry the virus to other vital systems. Early detection is a key factor in saving lives. Even though the infected person can not be cured, they can at least worn others who might contract the disease. This way partners have an option. One way to detect it is by checking the amount of antibodies and type of antibodies in the bloodstream. Unfortunately the reading are usually false and "only be .....

.... greatly so that new anti-bodies cannot be produced and the defenceless patient remains exposed to a range of infections that under other circumstances would have been harmless. Most AIDS patients die from opportunistic infections rather than from the AIDS virus itself. The initial infection is characterized by diarrhea, erysipelas and intermittent fever. An apparent recovery follows after 2-3 weeks, and in many cases the patient remains without symptoms and functions normally for years. Occasionally a swelling of the lymph glands, which does not affect the patient's well-being, can be observed. After several years, the pre-AIDS st .....

.... mass is very well defined. A picture comes to mind of the giant body builder, who is so big he can't touch his back because his biceps are in the way, but he can manage to bench press his car. The possible growth and development is amazing. With much less work necessary, the results can be astounding. Athletes can get bigger, stronger and faster, with less effort than previous. The limits of an athletes potential with steroids seem to be unbounded. These are the positive aspects to the use of steroids. One study showed that as much as ten pounds of lean muscle mass could be gained by a mature adult using steroids over a ye .....

.... right ahead and do so, but your hurting yourself and the ones that love you and care about you the most. do KILL! As you will soon find out. are not the disease that you want to play around with, they are very dangerous, and can have a harsh effect on you and on your life. Never do you want to get involved with an Eating Disorder unless you want to pay the consequences. Introduction Eating Disorders are a way of life that can be called “suicide.” You vomit all that you eat and do not stop until it is too late, or you just do not eat. You wish and hope that the person you love will stop before it is too late, but they do n .....

.... for avoiding safeguards of bias and reporting "changes" that occur normally in the mammalian brain. Wu et al. found a correlation between cannabis use and low sperm counts in human males. This is misleading because a decrease in sperm count has not been shown to have a negative effect on fertility and because the sperm count returns to normal after cannabis use has stopped.. Another claim made was that cannabis causes chromosome breakage. The primary source for this are studies that were conducted by Dr. Gabriel Nahas in the early 1980s. Nahas observed abnormalities in somatic (not sex) cells of rhesus monkeys in vitro (i.e., .....

.... other types. Training usually involves 40-80 sessions, each lasting 40 minutes or more. This "treatment" costs $3,000 to $6,000. The studies which suggest impressive results for EEG Biofeedback are seriously flawed. Sample sizes were small and appropriate control groups were not used to determine if any results are due to maturation or an "expectancy" effect. Did you know that a large number of studies have examined the link between sugar and hyperactive behavior. A few of these studies have found some small effects of sugar on behavior though only a small percentage of children with ADHD seem to be vulnerable. Another con .....

.... deficiency Virus) can be transmitted through sharing of non sterilize needles and syringes, sexual intercourse, blood transfusion, and through most bodily fluids, it is not transmitted through casual contact or by biting or blood sucking insects. Causes HIV is primarily a sexually transmitted disease, it is transmitted by both homosexual and bisexual and heterosexual activity. The first recognized case was among homosexual and bisexual men. Many numbers of studies have shown that men who have sexual partners and those who practice receptive anal intercourse are more likely to be infected with HIV than other homosexual men. Resea .....

.... symptoms of anabolic steroids. Steroids were not always used for sports, they started out the same way most drugs did, medicinal purposes. Victims of starvation and severe injury profited from it's ability to build new tissue quickly. They also helped prevent muscle tissue from withering in patients who had just had surgery. Steroids are used to treat Addison's disease. Anabolic steroids are drugs that come from hormones or from combinations of chemicals that achieve the same result as hormones. Hormones may be given to an individual in their natural state, or in a synthetic one. The synthetic state is sometimes more potent .....

.... having information withheld that is relevant to his own health. There is a moral standard that condemns lies, deception and withholding of relevant information. To tell Ralph that "everything was all right and he would be up and around the house in no time at all" is deceptive, as his condition is terminal, although he does not yet realize it. The ANA Standards of Clinical Nursing Practice states that clients should be educated about ther illness, which is subsumed within Standards of Care (p3). In Standard V-Ethics (p15), measurement criteria #3 states that "the nurse acts as a client advocate" and #5 states the "nurse deliver .....

.... perceptual, spatial experiences. When people try to retrieve right-brain information through left-brain techniques, they sometimes hit a blank (Bass 71). Psychologists also state that forgetting is one of the most common and effective ways children deal with sexual abuse. Many children are able to forget about the abuse, even as it is happening (Bass 42). There is credible data on the reconstructive nature of memory, social influence, and the power of therapy to produce conformity in the patient. The techniques that are used in uncovering sexual abuse memories include direct questioning, hypnosis, age regression, massage the .....
