.... 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 .....

.... for the pregnancy refuses to marry her, and responsibility to provide support. The woman may be forced to become a welfare recipient, become part of this cycle of poverty, and expose herself to the personal humiliation, loss of personal liberty, and inadequate income this entails. The impact of pregnancy is not only restricted to economical and educational areas. Certainly, there is a physical impact as well as the emotional reaction to an unwanted pregnancy. When there is a compelling reason, women should be permitted to choose early abortion. For instance, when a woman is raped she is under no obligation morally, and l .....

.... of osmotic and electrochemical gradients. Both the Loop of Henley and collecting duct are used to establish these osmolar gradients. The tubule has a brush border that will absorb proteins and polypeptides through pinocytosis. These molecules are sometimes catabolised and converted into amino acids. and returned to the blood. Sometimes the accumulation of these proteins can lead to renal toxicity A second process that occurs in the tubules is tubular secretion. This is another mechanism used to excrete solutes. Secretion may be either passive or active. Secretions include organic bases, which occur in the pars recta of the prox .....

.... and femur provide for a tight fit and allow pain free movement. In a dog with CHD, the fit between the acetabulum and femur is loose causing friction between the two bones. This is manifested by varying degrees of laxity of the muscles and ligaments around the hip joint along with instability and malformation of the joint components (Anonymous, 1997). Much like Sickle- cell anemia, a genetic disease in humans, CHD is also believed to be a genetic (Smith, 1997). To date, genetics is the only known cause of , however, other factors may play a role in exasperating the condition. Such factors are nutrition, environment, body size, gro .....

.... public is the confusion of MPD with the disease of schizophrenia. Schizophrenics do NOT have distinct personalities, rather, they have hallucinations of voices outside their heads. Schizophrenia is caused by brain malfunctions and can be treated with drugs, whereas suffers of MPD cannot because MPD is an almost purely psychological disorder. MPD seems to be caused mainly by incredibly violent and terrible childhood abuse. In fact, about 98% of MPD sufferers were abused as children. The disorder also occurs between three to nine times more in women than men, the person being abused creates other personalities to handle the .....

.... a person's self esteem and self worth in the work environment. All of these poor and spoiling habits people have used cause the non-cherish world as it is. Most of people have that heavy habit regard to money. People have to work hard almost daily in order to earn money to survive and to put aside for retirement. They have to be extremely cautious with their money in order to be financially independent. It is difficult to keep ahead with payment commitments such as credit card bills, mortgage, taxes, and so on. Some people have lousy organizing habit with payment commitments. That can cause people to end in death. For exam .....

.... people inflicted with a disorder. This is mainly because in the early 1900's people thought that people with disorders were just stupid and they did not investigate further into the matter. The quanity of people that have a disorder is unknown. There is an estimated guess that 15% of the U.S. population has some sort of disorder but that is not factual. This is because the survey people only can estimate from the people who check theirselves into a institution, the ones who do so make up 3% of the 15% estimation. The U.S. in 1990 spent an estimated 148 billion on treating mental diorders. Childhood Disorders Several Ment .....

.... pass. Sure, a man with a heart disease will not be able to eat a steak, but maybe he will be allowed to eat the French fries to go with it if they are prepared with Olean (Olestra). Olean is a fat derivative that chemically resembles real fat, with the exception that is much bigger, cannot be absorbed by the organism and therefore, passes right through the digestive tract. It will also give a sense of normality to a diabetic when they want to have a chocolate bar. Sure, special chocolates are available, as well as carob bar, but these substitutes taste nothing like the real deal, with my personal experience testifies to that. W .....

.... which the doctor withdraws the machines or drugs, which are keeping the patient alive, and thus allows the patient to die naturally. Euthanasia ends pain mercifully and easily. It is used when the pain of degradation of life or the pain of a terminal disease is greater than the pain of death. In these cases death is not the nightmare experienced in war, but rather an alternative to endless pain. “At times we must look at death as a welcome release from an untenable life. Death need not be a source of horror. It can be freedom, a release from agony”. This observation by Dr. Milton D. Heifetz encompasses the purpose of euthan .....

.... be relevant. If more is known about the psychological and neurophysiological effects of music on the human mind, then the possibilities of this knowledge are unbounded. Music can be used to treat social and behavioral problems in people with disabilities. The use of music in the classroom might enhance or weaken a student's work characteristics. Therefore, whether the influence of music is positive or negative, much needs to be explored about the link between the mind and music. Physiologically, the brain receives information about sound waves from the ear through the auditory nerve. This information is then processed by the .....
