.... for many reasons. Treatments are aimed at easing pain, more so than curing the disease. How it is spread Herpes is spread by direct contact with the Herpevirus. A virus inside the sores. If you touch a sore with any area were the skin is thin, (eyes, mouth or genitals), the Herpevirus is spread. Herpes can be spread even when the sore is not visible. Herpes victims with the sore in on place can infect themselves in others. Symtoms The signs of the virus are itching or tingling and sores. .....

.... be very dangerous though. Pretty well all the people used in these particular ads are slim and beautiful and it can therefor be very misinterpreting to someone who is overweight. The pressure of being fit can lead to very damaging disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.

So it is important to be careful not to do any physical or psychological harm to one self when trying to lose weight.

.... to chose to use PAS when suffering with a terminal illness. Opponents fear that if PAS is legalized for use with terminally ill patients, it will not be very long before its uses broaden and people other than the terminally ill decide to try and benefit from the law (Kamisar 409). They are worried that PAS will become a dinnertime conversation, as common as football or music. Some fear that by legalizing PAS, the physician will be given too much power ("Assisted" 394). Also religious views argue against PAS. For example, the Roman Catholic faith has taken a firm stand against it. Christians believe it is up to God to decide .....

.... various organ systems of the body, where it is metabolized. The kidneys pass small amounts of alcohol and through urine, and even smaller amounts processed through the lungs and breath, most alcohol is metabolized through the liver. The body metabolizes alcohol about the rate of one ounce of whisky per hour. Most people, however, drink faster then this, and so the concentration of alcohol in the blood keeps rising. Moderate use of alcohol is not harmful, but excessive or heavy drinking is associated with alcoholism and numerous other health problems. The effects of excessive drinking becomes evident on major organ syst .....

.... the gene, and a 1:4 chance with each pregnancy to have an affected child. If you have a son or daughter with cystic fibrosis, then you have a 1:1 chance of being a carrier. If you have a brother or sister with CF, you have a 2:3 chance of being a carrier. If you have a niece or nephew with CF, you have a 1:2 chance of being a carrier. If you have an aunt or uncle with CF, you have a 1:3 chance of being a carrier and a 1:4 chance if you have a 1st cousin with CF. Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs in particular. The secretions are thick and sticky rather than thin and watery. This interferes with the removal of dust and ger .....

.... humans. The most recent strain discovered is the Tai. It was identified by Dr. Bernard Le Guenno in 1995. It was discovered in the Ivory Coast of west Africa in the Tai Forest. A Swiss researcher was the first to contract this strain he survived the infection. There are many differences betweent these strains. Reston does not cause illness in humans but does in monkeys it is also suspected to be airborn whee other strains are not transmitted by air. Their structures are quite similar in shape but have different gene sequences in places and properties. They pretty much have the same symptoms. Depending on the vir .....

.... about his biological state from feedback from the sensors. Margolin and Kubic (1944) conducted an early example of this kind of feedback. They used a subject's amplified respiration and heart beat to induce a hypnotic induction. Even though the subjects were not told to adjust these physiological functions, the feedback of their biological system was used to alter their conscious and emotional state (O'Hair). The principles of operant conditioning have often been used by people to explain biofeedback. In operant conditioning, any activity that approximates the desired behavior or response is reinforced or rewarded. By using .....

.... Guze. 1989, p.7 ). Bipolar affective disorder affects approximately one percent or three million persons in the United States, afflicting both males and females. Bipolar disorder involves episodes of mania and depression. The manic episodes are characterized by elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, poor judgment and insight, and often reckless or irresponsible behavior (Hollandsworth, Jr. 1990 ). These episodes may alternate with profound depressions characterized by a pervasive sadness, almost inability to move, hopelessness, and disturbances in appetite, sleep, in concentrations .....

.... a person can die. A forensic pathologist's main role is to figure out how a victim died. First they look at the proximate cause of death. That is the initial injury that led to a sequence of events which caused the death of the victim. Second they look at immediate cause of death. That is the injury or disease that finally killed the individual. Next they look for the mechanism of death, which is the altered physiology by which a disease or injury produces death. And finally they look at the manner of death. There are four manners of death. They include homicide, which someone else caused the victims death, whether by .....

.... lead Heckler, the secretary of health and human services, to say that a cure was just a few years away. Today, no cure is available and no sure treatment for AIDS symptoms is at hand. People are still contracting and dying from AIDS at an alarming rate. AIDS is a fatal disease that does not kill the patient. Its principle source of infection is the HIV virus which is a retrovirus. This means that the protein coat contains RNA instead of DNA and when the virus injects its genetic material into the host cell, it must first cause the cell to transcribe, using a unique enzyme called reverse transcriptase, it into complementary .....
