Hemophilia
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1118.... haemophilia A and B. Haemophilia A is a hereditary disorder in which bleeding is due to deficiency of the coagulation factor VIII (VIII:C)3. In most of the
cases, this coagulant protein is reduced but in a rare amount of
cases, this protein is present by immunoassay but defective.4
Haemophilia A is the most common severe bleeding disorder and
approximately 1 in 10,000 males is effected. The most common types
of bleeding are into the joints and muscles. Haemophilia is severe
if the factor VIII:C levels are less that 1 %, they are moderate if
the levels are 1-5% and they are .....

Analytical Chemistry
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1120.... a known one is found with identical properties. If none is
found, the uknown substance must be a newly identified chemical. Tests should
not use up excessive amounts of a material to be identified. Most chemical
methods of qualitative analysis require a very small amount of the sample.
Advance instrumental techniques often use less than one millionth of a gram. An
example of this is mass spectrometry.
Quantitative chemical analysis is used to determine the amounts of
constituents. Most work in analytical chemistry is quantitative. It is also
the most difficult. In princ .....

Darwinism
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1182.... the animals and
plants with the best genes. Supporters of neo-Darwinism believe that
natural selection operating upon random variation gave rise rise to all
animals and plants. While the source of variation is random, the
direction of evolution is not. In effect, natural selection removes
chance, and it makes the theory of evolution plausible. If neo-Darwinism
is correct then numerous small successive changes guided by natural
selection gave rise to all animals and plants.
I will prove that natural selection is not a creative process. Its
primary functi .....

Cardiovascular Conditioning
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1632.... due to the fact that while exercising deep breathing increases the blood flow to the lungs. Under a well-planned conditioning program conditioning can help to decrease cholesterol and the incidents of deadly heart disease. Individuals who exercise regularly have a lower rate of heart attacks than individuals who do not participate in an exercise program. One of the most important aspects of conditioning for the heart is the warm-up. Warming-up before intense exercise gradually increases the heart rate and prevents abnormal heart rhythms. Sudden extreme exercise can cause t .....

Adrenal Gland
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1019.... although they differ from each other in their effects.
Norepinephrine constricts almost all blood vessels. Norepinephrine is formed by intravenous infusion to combat the fall in blood pressure associated with types of shock. Norepinephrine is formed in the body from the amino acid tyrosine, and epinephrine is formed from norepinephrine.
Mineralocorticoids steroids control the overall body fluid. Mineralocorticoids are critical to regulate concentrations of minerals in extracellular fluids. The major target of aldosterone is the distal tubule of the kidneys. There it sti .....

Acid Rain
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 1940.... rain may be causing
great ecological damage to the planet. The problem was that by the time that the
scientist found the problem it was already very large. Detecting an acid lake is
often quite difficult. A lake does not become acid over night. It happens over a
period of many years, some times decades. The changes are usually to gradual for
them to be noticed early.
At the beginning of the 20th century most rivers/lakes like the river
Tovdal in Norway had not yet begun to die. However by 1926 local inspectors were
noticing that many of the lakes were beginning to show .....

Creatine
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1718.... down, phosphate in the muscle donates a phosphate group to ADP, and further energy reactions can occur. monohydrate is a precursor to phosphate. By supplementing with CM, CP levels in muscle apparently are maximized, and more muscular work can occur, since there are greater energy reserves to use. Approximately 95% of the body's supply is found in the skeletal muscles. The remaining 5% are scattered throughout the rest of the body, with the highest concentrations in the heart, brain and testes. A skeletal muscle itself does not produce , but utilizes .....

Depression 5
Number of pages: 10 | Number of words: 2664.... may even withdraw from families and friends.
Rod Steiger an Academy Award-winning actor who had starring roles in over 72 films is clinically depressed. During a time when Rod was down he wrote a letter to his wife and son:
I want to die; I don’t want to move. I have no feeling for movement. To be left alone, to disappear. Not to be bothered with washing, shaving, talking, walking, going to the bathroom. If only to get out of this tunnel and heavy darkness, cold and oily, constantly pressing against my brain and being (Carter, 39)
What would cause highly successful people li .....
