Dreams
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 2033.... depth as a sleeper
goes from a light sleep to a deep sleep. As people fall asleep they first
enter stage one sleep. Research has shown stage one sleep to be the
lightest of the four levels of sleep. In this stage the E. E. G, a machine
that measures types of brain waves, shows many alpha signals. Alpha signals
really are fast low voltage brain signals. The sleeper can also be easily
awakened while in this stage of sleep. The next level of sleep is stage
two. In which the brain shows sporatic brain wave signals which consist of
high-voltage activity known as sleep spindles .....

Compare And Contrast Depression And Schizophrenia
Number of pages: 12 | Number of words: 3198.... birth may be important.
An obvious biological difference exists between boys and girls. Later, as children grow and develop, sex differences become stronger. Certain glands called endocrine have different physical effects on boys than on girls. These effects, in turn, produce different psychological experiences in the sexes.
But male-female differences in personality are not due solely to biology. The environment is equally important. Society tends to treat boys and girls differently from an early age. Mothers and fathers, for example, give boys trains to play with, .....

Tumours
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 659.... characteristics. The tumour grows locally by
spreading into surrounding tissues. Solid tumours, which develop in the
breast, colon, lung, and other organs, contain an inner core with high
pressure zones that compress and collapse blood vessels, often preventing
the penetration of blood-borne cancer treatments. It spreads to distant
sites by the breaking off of malignant cells, which move through the blood
and lymphatic systems, attach themselves, and begin to grow as new colonies.
Malignant tumours are diagnosed by examination of their vascularity,
shapes, forms of ce .....

Treating Diabetes With Transplanted Cells
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1248.... pain in extremities caused by
narrowed vessicles, may also be a problem. These effects are caused because
insulin injections can't perfectly mimic naturally made insulin.
That's why a therapy that maintains glucose values within normal from
the begging is needed. An ideal treatment would be the implantation of islets.
This, in theory, would only have to be done once and would insure proper insulin
production. Successful grafts would also prevent diabete-related ills.
At Paul E. Lacy's lab, experiments have been done for twenty- five years
on such a process. A .....

Malaria
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1153.... the parasites are
too, with only 60 of 380 species of female Anopheles mosquitoes as vectors.
With the exception of Plasmodia Malariae which may affect other primates, all
parasites of malaria have only one host, Homo sapiens. Because some mosquitoes
contain substances toxic to Plasmodium in their cells, not all species of
mosquitoes are vectors of Plasmodium. Although very specific, malaria still
causes disruption of over three hundred million people worldwide each year (Cann,
1996).
The life cycle of the parasite causing malaria exists between two
organisms, humans and the .....

Steroids
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 695.... shrinking of the male reproductive organ. Later in
life the pecks will start to look more like breasts. In women they will be
basically taking the hormone they lack to be a man, so their voice deepens,

Some studies show that the only reason why athletes use steroids is
to help stay injury free, to heal, to make themselves look better and to
help in their sports.
The amount of testosterone that the body makes is very small
amounts. Males have twenty to sixty times the testosterone than females.
Large amounts of .....

Malpractice Or Poor Judgement?
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 946.... These costs will only be passed along to the
patients in the long run, and the condition is only going to worsen. Take for
example the United States, where surgeons annually pay an average of $75,000 on
insurance premiums. On top of these premiums, doctors who practice very
defensively add as much as $21 billion US to the health care bill every year.
Twenty percent of the tests prescribed by doctors were not necessary, but they
are the result of defensive practising by doctors who do not want to be held
liable.
This condition, already appearing in India, could become the d .....

The Right To Die
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 715.... day to day pain if they choose to do so. If those who are our designated healers (doctors) cant heal the sick then the control should be past over to the individual.
Those people who suffer from terminal illnesses are forced to live out life while losing their dignity. Families are forced to watch their loved one deteriorate and in the mean time put their own lives on hold to care for the ill patient that has lost all will to live.
