Jasmine is diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which is the most common form of pediatric cancers. It is caused by malignant transformations that occur in hematopoietic stem cells, making them undifferentiated cells with increased longevity. In ALL, those cells are called lymphoid cells, and their rate of proliferation causes fast growth and destruction of healthy bone marrow. Because of Jasmine’s age, the chances for an initial remission can be estimated at 95 percent (Rytting, 2012). However, achieving a complete cure is not a likely outcome, and an open and honest communication with Jasmine and her parents about her condition ...

Dear Sir/ Madam,

The purpose of this letter is to explain the reason behind my poor academic performance in the past year.

The word borderline was a common term in the 19th century used to delineate a condition that was bordering two distinct types of psychiatric conditions that were by the time broadly categorized into major groups; neurosis and psychosis (Chapman and Gratz 9).

Findings from the researches point to the fact the Borderline Disorder could be described far much differently. Chapman and Gratz uphold that Borderline Disorder, conventionally known as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), ...

Domestic violence has adverse impacts on the development of a child.

With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that Susie’s exposure to childhood molestation at an early age contributed to her drug problems and overall response to his abusive marriage. Since she witnessed her mother withstand the abuse she received from his father, she felt obliged to keep up with his ...

He may attempt to compensate for the lack of financial income, once brought in by Susan, which could provide distraction, however, and the overworking may allow him to maintain a relatively normal sleep schedule sometimes. ...

At the workplace around each of us, there are people with whom relations seem to be more like a roller coaster. Sometimes we can talk to them easily and sometimes we are suddenly confronted with their reticence and even hostility. The reason for such behavior is aggression, i.e. a way of expressing anger. Even the most shy and quiet person cannot claim that he or she never showed aggressive emotions in public. Indeed, in reasonable doses aggression is needed to cope with traffic jams, ‘burning’ projects and recalcitrant partners; but there are such forms of aggression that are difficult to identify ...

Additionally, Fournier indicates that there is a considerable part that brands play in the lives of the consumers. The result of this thinking is that the brands of products ...
