.... not mean the disease has gone away. Prescribed drugs should be taken until all the medicine is gone so the disease is completely finished. If it is not, then this will just give the bacteria some time to find a way to avoid the effects of the drug. One antibiotic that will always have a long lasting effect in history is penicillin. This was the first antibiotic ever to be discovered. Alexander Fleming was the person responsible for the discovery in 1928. In his laboratory, he noticed that in some of his bacteria colonies, that he was growing, were some clear spots. He rea .....

.... to read. When the brains of these patients were studied they reveled hemorrhages (Copper 1). Another early case of was reported in 1895. Dr. Pringle Morgan diagnosed Percy a fourteen year-old boy with congenital word blindness. Percy was described as bright, healthy and skilled at mathmatics. He, apparently, however had difficulty reading and writing. In 1897 several cases similar to that of Percy were investigated. In 1900 Hinshelwood described word-blindness was a disorder that occurred in children with otherwise normal brains. The defect was disscribed as a disa .....

.... functons and return to a normal life. There are many cases in which euthanasia is acceptable. Brain death is one situation which merits euthanasia. It is also one of the more common cases where euthanasia is requested. Brain death is when all brain activities cease. The lines are fairly well drawn in the law about patients who are suffering but are still compotent, but when the law is asked to determine the fate of a lingering, comatose, incompotent patient the lines begin to blur. In many cases the courts turned to the patient's family, but what if there are not any or th .....

.... Romans by robbing them of their glory. Eleazar's plan was a success and history may well justify the act of suicide. I talked to both my parents and asked them what they would do in this situation. My mom felt that it was wrong to commit suicide in this case because the Jews didn't even try to put up a fight. As she put it, "Even if the Jews did lose, their lives may have been spared." My dad felt that suicide was the best thing to do given the circumstances In the Bible, Mark 14:32-42 deals with Jesus willfully being arrested and killed. Jesus knew that he would be killed, .....

.... feel totally drained of energy. This can lead to difficulty concentrating. Most fibromyalgia patients have an associated sleep disorder called the alpha-EEG anomaly. This condition was uncovered in a sleep lab with the aid of a machine which recorded the brain waves of patients during sleep. Researchers found that patients could fall asleep without much trouble, but their deep level (or stage 4) sleep was constantly interrupted by bursts of awake-like brain activity. Patients appeared to spend the night with one foot in sleep and the other one out of it. In most cases .....

.... By the 1940’s scientists discovered that thick secretions, which blocked digestive enzymes from the pancreas, were clogging the ductile systems and passageways. Which caused the ineffectiveness of the digestive track. The mucus is what trapped the infectious bacteria in the lungs.1946 scientists discovered that CF was a recessive trait caused by a mutation of a single gene. They also found out that about 5% of Americans are asymptotic carriers. Meaning they don’t show the disease’s symptoms. In New York there was a heat wave one-year and the hospitals were packed with over h .....

.... a baby by her side. It was just not possible. All her hopes and dreams had been shattered into a million pieces because of one mistake. If only there was a way to go back in time and change the past so that our present will be normal. As normal as a 15 year old girl should be. With problems relating to boys and meeting assignment deadlines, rather than the hard stuff. The kind of stuff a baby would otherwise provide to her with open arms. Unfortunately there isn’t, so we were left with the option of ending the baby’s life. This course of action was in the best inter .....
