... the virus and not be aware of it and the majority of these victims are between the ages of twenty and forty. The only solution to this problem, as is the only solution to any problem, is prevention through education. Of course it is easy to hand out literature and condoms to adults, but are they really going to listen? As a community, we can encourage HIV/AIDS testing, but will it be taken advantage of? Since these are adults being familiarized with HIV/AIDS, how to contract it, the consequences, and the raw statistics, they will probably disregard all of the information. Education on the issue of HIV/AIDS obviously needs to begin at an earlier age. Since th ...

... signs of Huntington disease are progressive chorea, rigidity, and dementia, frequently associated with seizures. Studies & Research Studies were done to determine if somatic mtDNA (mitochondria DNA) mutations might contribute to the neurodegeneration observed in Huntington's disease. Part of the research was to analyze cerebral deletion levels in the temporal and frontal lobes. Research hypothesis: HD patients have significantly higher mtDNA deletionlevels than agematched controls in the frontal and temporal lobes of the cortex. To test the hypothesis, the amount of mtDNA deletion in 22 HD patients brains was examined by serial dilution-polymerase chain reaction ...

... that, in some cases, they cannot fall in love or marry (Mathias, 1992). It is important, therefore, to encourage individuality in, and a healthy relationship between, each twin from birth so that they will not experience individualisation problems (Siemon, 1980). According to Sandbank (1988), three main factors play roles in the development of twin individuality. These are: competition in the twinship, the school environment and parental attitude. Competition, according to Mathias (1992), results from being either envious or jealous of someone else. Jealousy is something that twins probably experience before other children as they are always competing for a s ...

... that can be broken into manic and depressive episodes. The depressive episodes are characterized by intense feelings of sadness and despair that can become feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Some of the symptoms of a depressive episode include anhedonia, disturbances in sleep and appetite, psychomotor retardation, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness, guilt, difficulty thinking, indecision, and recurrent thoughts of death and suicide (Hollandsworth, Jr. 1990 ). The manic episodes are characterized by elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, poor judgment and insight, and often reckless or irresponsible behavior (Ho ...

... girl has an individual need. Jon is angry. Why? Hmmm, I wonder. On our daily, basic T.V. showings, there is a news channel, cartoon channel, movie channel, Spanish channel; the list is endless. Last but not least, there is “Lifetime, the channel for women.” Why can’t broadcasters simply place these women commercials on one channel? First of all, men won’t have to watch these commercials and women, if they are inquiring about which device best suits their needs, can turn to this channel. To make it even more easy for them, the editors of the T.V. guide can list special “women ad” showings in its magazine just as it gives us listings of various shows shown ...

... sex. These people feel that every child is wanted by someone. They view adoption as a logical alternative. Researchers have said that if you give the woman the unrestricted right to kill her unborn daughter, one had better be prepared to some day give the daughter the unrestricted right to kill the aged mother. Many people that are against s are raised in the church or are religious. They believe that is murder, and that God does not approve of this. There is a book called “The Hand of God“, written by Dr. Bernard Nathanson, one of the doctors that was instrumental in getting legislation for passed in the 1960’s. Dr. Nathanson is now an ex- doctor, who ...

... than the average person you might be able to think more clearly which over time might improve ones physical and mental health which I suppose could be interpreted as wisdom, but as we have established early to bed early to rise does not result in more sleep. Perhaps if one were to wake up before the rest of the world they would have peace and quiet which would give them an opportunity to read which could make one more wise, but who can really learn that early in the morning? Who exactly is going to become wealthier as a result of going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier? I think that the average business person would become less wealthy as a result of ...

... groups of people: obese, diabetics and people suffering of heart disease. For these people, eating is a tedious task, as they have to control the sugar and fat levels of every food they ingest. It is why I think that food substitutes come to them somehow like a miracle. Until now, diabetics, for example, were faced with two choices: eat the fake foods that taste nothing like the real thing, or pass. Sure, a man with a heart disease will not be able to eat a steak, but maybe he will be allowed to eat the French fries to go with it if they are prepared with Olean (Olestra). Olean is a fat derivative that chemically resembles real fat, with the exception that is mu ...

... differences such as money, racism and increased exposure to violence, blacks have a greater chance to develop mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. Some definitions: Stress, Depression & Anxiety Stress is everywhere in our lives and it can be found in two forms. The life of Afro-Americans is filled with both eustress and distress, but it is the high rate of distress due to socio-economic circumstances that are responsible for higher rates of depression and anxiety amongst them. Depression is an emotional state characterized by extreme sadness, gloomy ruminations, feelings of worthlessness, loss of hope, and often apprehension, while anxiety is a ...

... one in every 205 white men, died violently also 1 in 117 black women met a untimely end as compared to white women which only 1 in 496 were killed due to violent crimes. This is not surprising that young males commit most of the serious crimes. According to an article in Scientific American, only 12.5 percent of violent crime in the U.S. in 1992 was committed by females. What is also surprising according to W.W. Gibbs the author of "Seeking the Criminal Element," in Scientific American,(1995 March) pp 100-107, is that a very small number of criminals are responsible for the majority of the violent crime. Sullivan who is now the president of the Morehouse School o ...
