There are many different genetic disorders, conditions and diseases that can effect human beings of all ages, all genders, races and ethnicities. Rett Syndrome is a progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that effects females almost exclusively and occurs in 1 in 10,000 female births.

The young mind is a malleable and highly vulnerable entity with which trauma can dramatically influence with long-lasting effects. While both boys and girls are prone to posttraumatic stress disorder, evidence shows that females tend to experience greater effects from traumatic events than their male counterparts. When asking the question of whether boys and girls respond similarly to post-traumatic interventions, it is important to note that although females are wounded greater due to their emotional capacity, both males and females experience a measurable minimization of potentially damaging symptoms as a result of treatment. Ultimately, however, females are in a ...

Abstract

Juvenile delinquency is one of the most pressing issues that any society can face. There are certain risk and protective factors that influence children's disposition toward criminal behavior. These factors can be grouped into community, individual, and social categories. Each of these three categories contain certain risks that can contribute to a child's tendency to engage in delinquent activities. Schools, families, and other communities have a responsibility to try and protect the youngest and most vulnerable members of our society from being exposed to these factors. By doing so, we can address the problem at its root and curb ...

Many hard working students pride of getting by with less than 6 hours’ sleep. In reality they are just depriving themselves of the benefits that optimum sleep can provide. Sleep is a necessity and not a luxury. When a person sleeps, the brain catalogues previous days’ experiences and primes the memory for the day ahead. During sleep, the brain releases certain molecules that regulates energy, mood and mental acuity. An optimum period of 7 to 8 hours’ sleep is required for the brain to rejuvenate and get prepared for the next day. When this is denied, the performance of ...

1. Blocked Responses Robert Merton’s strain theory focuses on the stress, anxiety and deviance caused by “discrepancies in cultural goals and the legitimate means to achieve them,” (Murphy & Robinson, 2008, p. 503). This would entail situations where “society doesn’t provide the means to everyone to accomplish the goals it sets out for them,” (Wright, 2008). The most common shared goal in American society is the pursuit of the American Dream. But strain is caused when there are blockages to that goal. When a person is not born in a position of economic comfort or wealth, for example, ...

Diseases such as glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, Urinary tract infections, Hemolytic uremic syndrome, and Hydronephrosis could damage the kidneys.

Heart failure is a pathophysiologic condition characterized by the heart’s inability to generate sufficient cardiac output, resulting in either inefficient tissue perfusion or increase in the diastolic filling pressure of the left ventricle, or both, which lead to increased pulmonary capillary pressure (McCance, Huether, Brashers, & Rote, 2014). Heart failure is a leading cause of death in the US (McCance et al., 2014; Mozaffarian et al., 2015). American Heart Association has estimated that in 2013, cardiovascular diseases were responsible for 30.8% of all deaths in the US, or 222.9 per 100,000 deaths (Mozaffarian et al., 2015).

In modern dentistry, the ultimate goal is to achieve good oral hygiene and this is achieved by regular visits to the dentist for oral checkups. These checkups are highly advisable since early detection of periodontal infections that often lead to bad breath, gingival inflammation, bleeding gums, plague formation, and even teeth loss is imperative (Zadik, 2008). If untreated, these infections may also spread to other parts of the body leading to other fatal health complications and cormobid conditions such as heart attacks and strokes among others. Patients are therefore advised to maintain good oral hygiene, and this is by ...

Insect Life Cycles/Colony Collapse Disorder

Insects undergo several growth and development stages during their life cycle. There are three distinct processes that different insects undergo as they grow. The processes are; ametabolism, hemimetabolism, and holometabolism (Mackean 2004).

Introduction

In a criminal trial, a defense team will introduce evidence and theories on the turn of events. The concept is to sell a reasonable story to the jury and save the client from conviction. This approach known as case defense strategies have two classifications. They are defense against an innocent person, and defense for a guilty client.

Origination of the syphilis concept

How the modern concept of Syphilis originated My experiences with the syphilis concept reflectingon reading chapters one and two along with my own perceptions gained from previous knowledge, is that it embodies a geographic origin as well as scientific. There are many observed similarities between the origin and conceptualization of syphilis with the current reigning sexually transmitted disease HIV/AIDS. They create tensions and connect me to experiences/ beliefs. For example, syphilis is caused by a bacterium, which has mutated over time with symptoms becoming less severe as the bacterium undergoes changes. In the fifteen century when the syphilis bacterium ...

ABSTRACT

This study was mainly focused on repeating what other studies have done in the past; to understand the relationship between marijuana and schizophrenia. The literature suggested that there was not enough research on the topic in terms of finding out the root cause of patients taking marijuana, even if they had medication. What was discovered in the literature was also the theory that there were other contributing outside factors such as genetics and family history. Patients that were also mentally healthy were having the same effects when taking marijuana. What the literature also spoke about was distinguishing between actual ...

Sickle cell disease is a genetic blood disorder that affects the hemoglobin, the protein molecule in the red blood cells responsible for delivering oxygen to the body cells and throughout the body. The disease is characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin that forces the red cells to assume a sickle shape. Normal blood cells are disc-shaped which allows them to be flexible as they navigate through the blood vessels. The abnormal hemoglobin forms rod-like structures immediately after unloading the oxygen. The sickle-shaped red blood cells are inflexible making it difficult to navigate the blood vessels and can stick ...

The manner in which we make decisions on which products to consume is reliant on a variety of factors.

These are; our consumption and well-being, consumption and identity, consumption and our emotions and consumption and our beliefs and attitudes (Saad, 2010). These relationships do not all come into play when deciding which product to consume; there are some which are dominant determinants of ...

Recent literature has supported the robust correlation between sleep and mental health(Johnsen, 2013; Peppard et al., 2013; Sekhon & Strohl, 2014; Walker & Stickgold, 2014). The majority of psychiatric disorders are linked to sleep disturbances. In the past, ...
