.... them medication to dull their pain. Instructors tell doctors in training to treat dying patients as people " that are alive but just that their death is more imminent than our own"(Moroney 2). Many families could rest easy that their relative is being treated well and are receiving the necessary attention. A lot of terminal patients decide to sign DNR forms or request euthanasia so that they would not be a burden on their families. Euthanasia should be legalized in all of the United States because it would end much suffering and pain. Euthanasia is the justified killing or assisted killing of a disabled or termi .....

.... probley wouldn't be alive. Your stomach is your main organ because it is the thing that makes your food into smaller units and you would die if you didn't have a stomach. Enzyme is a kind of protein that speeds up chemical reactions in the body. If we didn't have enzyme everybody would be walking 1 mile an hour and you wouldn't have any energy. The Liver is an organ that stores food substances and produces bile. Digestion is the process that breaks down food so it can be used in the body. Saliva is a fluid that helps food down the throat. It's like having a drink in your mouth all ready. Your Gall Bladder is a sac that stores bile .....

.... simply cannot be watched at all times. 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 .....

.... they called huntingtin that was unlike any protein previously identified. The question that they did not know was what either the healthy huntingtin protein or its aberrant form does in a cell. Recently, a team from Johns Hopkins University found a second protein called HAP-1, that attaches to the huntingtin molecule only in the brain. The characteristics of this second protein has an interesting feature- it binds much more tightly to defective huntingtin than to the healthy from, and it appears that this tightly bound complex causes damage to brain cells. Researchers are hoping to find simple drugs that can weaken this bindin .....

.... the bone marrow within its mid cavity and to top it all it is capable of changing its architecture and mass in response to outside and inner stress. It is this dynamic remodeling of bone which is of primary interest in microgravity. To feel the impact of this dynamicity it should be noted that a bone remodeling unit [a coupled phenomena of bone reabsorption and bone formation] is initiated and another finished about every ten seconds in a healthy adult. This dynamic system responds to mechanical stress or lack of it by increasing the bone mass/density or decreasing it as per the demand on the system. -eg; a person dealing with in .....

.... contact with. The virus is reproduced in the lymphoid tissue and released into the body. Virus reproduction begins when the virion comes into contact with a suitable host cell. The virus must interact with a receptor on the cell surface. The infectious cycle usually consists of two stages. The first stage makes the proteins necessary for the protein to form. The second stage forms the adult virion to start the attack on the body. Smallpox attack with no warning. There are several painful symptoms that are brought upon by this disease. In most of the cases, symptoms in a new victim will occur ten to twelve days later. .....

.... after surgery?". The independent variable is therapeutic touch. The dependant variable is decreasing surgical site pain. The population to be studied will be patients on a thirty bed medical-surgical floor of a Lake Charles hospital. Fifty surgical patients will be studied over a four week period. The patients will be randomly selected to avoid any bias by the researcher. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM "... therapeutic touch is a nursing intervention that has the potential for eliciting a state of physiological relaxation in patients and for decreasing patients anxiety" (Heidt, 1991). The use of therapeutic touch is very i .....

.... that low incomes and high poverty rates are suffered by great amounts of the rural population, making health care insurance a relative luxury. Because of this, many ailments and injuries tend to go untreated. Another problem is the lack of physicians willing to work in rural areas. The Hill-Burton Act of 1946 represented a major effort by the federal government to increase health resources in underserved areas. This subsidized construction program made it possible for many communities without a hospital or with inadequate facilities to obtain better health care. This had its shortcomings because hospitals without doctors wer .....

.... a delayed take up, which makes them last longer. It also allows them to be detected in drug tests for a longer period of time. How they work in the body: When anabolic steroids are introduced into the body, under certain conditions they increase: protein synthesis, lean body mass, and the nitrogen balance in the body. A steroid receptor is formed which stimulates the synthesis of enzymes. With the stimulus of enzymes in the body, protein synthesis is also increased. One enzyme system that is placed into the body by the receptor is the ribonucleic acid (RNA)-polymerose system. This system promotes cellular protein metabolism .....

.... would not feel comfortable asking her parents for help because they are devout Catholics and would obviously not be too pleased, nor understanding of her sexual activities. If Mary had a free condom distribution program in place at her school, then Mary might feel more comfortable receiving condoms from nurses and health officials at her school rather than her parents. That is why I believe that it would be extremely beneficial to have a program like the one at Mary's school in effect at our school. All the girls and boys out there that are in Mary's situation would flourish from a program like that. First lets talk about the con .....
