... is being on the foul line during a basket ball game. I get nervous and my hands start sweating and I can't concentrate, then sometimes I miss the foul shot. Another example is when I am playing baseball and there is a man on first and third and the count is 2 and 3 in the 7th inning. The game is tied and the pressure is on, which causes . People who don't handle their situations sometimes turn to drugs, alcohol and tobacco. If isn't handled, it can really impact your health.

... controls the right side of the body (this is reversed in about half of the 15 percent of the population that is left-handed) and, in essence, is logical analytical, judgemental and verbal. It's interested in the bottom line, in being efficent. The right brain controls the left side of the body and leans more to the creative, the intuitive. It is concerned more with the visual and emotional side of life. Most people, if they thought about it, would identify more with their left brain. In fact, many of us think we are our left brains. All of that non-stop verbalization that goes on in our heads is the dominant left brain talking to itself. Our culture- ...

... aborted or result in a miscarriage. There exists a consensus that an infant is the most precious form of life on earth, and needs to be protected under law. The philosophical and religious question behind the pro-choice/pro-life argument is: when does life become human life?. After that occurs, terminating life is a form of murder which many people believe can only be justified to prevent the death or extremely serious injury to the mother. Unfortunately, there is no consensus of when that event occurs. Many people believe that happens at conception. That is, a just-fertilized egg is a full human being and should be protected as such. Some hold this belief bec ...

... to a group of “negative-stranded RNA viruses.” To date, there are five different recorded cases of the Ebola strand. Ebola Zaire, Sudan, Reston and Tai. Though all have been known to cause serious internal damage to all types of organs, whether it is human or animal, Ebola Reston does not seem pose a threat to humans in any way. “Ebola viruses are spread though direct contact with a person who is very ill with the disease. Usually wide-spread action of the virus takes place among hospital care workers or family members who were aiding an infected person.” Ebola can spread by the reuse of hypodermic needles, which occurs frequently in under-developed countri ...

... about euthanasia should get all the facts first about the research being done on the particular illness that has invaded a member of their family. Think twice before making any serious decisions. Euthanasia is an inhuman way of taking care of a difficult problem. Some people might say that it is inhuman to have someone suffer through the pain of his or her illness. Many of the families have a harder time dealing with the pain than the actual victim does. The families would like to ease their own pain along with the victim's pain. It is not inhuman to keep someone alive as long as humanly possible. If a cure is found, then the victim could possibly go on to l ...

... separated by such a vast geographic distance from the organ. Scientists and doctors are currently only able to keep a donor heart viable for four hours before the tissues become irreversibly damaged. Because of this preservation restriction, the donor heart is ultimately given to someone whose tissues do not match up as well, so there is a greatly increased chance for rejection of the organ by the recipient. As far as the man in Oregon goes, he will probably not receive a donor heart before his own expires. Currently, when a heart is being prepared for transplantation, it is simply submerged in an isotonic saline ice bath in an attempt to stop all metab ...

... Anabolic means the ability to promote body growth and repair body tissue. It comes from the Greek word anabolikos meaning "constructive." Steroids are basically made up of hormones. One woman training to make the 1984 US women's basketball team used them, her muscles started to bulge, her voice grew deeper, and she even had the beginnings of a mustache. These are all the usual symptoms of anabolic steroids. Steroids were not always used for sports, they started out the same way most drugs did, medicinal purposes. Victims of starvation and severe injury profited from it's ability to build new tissue quickly. They also helped prevent muscle tissue ...

... durabolin, deca-durabolin, and winstrol were produced. One of the main effects of anabolic steroids is to increase the number of red blood cells and muscle tissue without producing much of the androgenic effects of testosterone. There are only four legal uses for steroids treatment for certain forms of cancer, pituatary dwarfism, and serious hormone disturbances. There are two forms of anabolic steroids those taken orally and those injected. The immediate effects of both are mood swings of many different kinds. In one study, physicians Ian Wilson, Arthur Prang, Jr., and Patricio Lara found that four out of five men suffering from dippresion when given a st ...

... intact skin, hence it cannot be spread through informal contact. AIDS has not been found to travel in insects or tame animals. In pregnant women, the virus only infects the infant near or at the time of birth. The virus dies quickly without a host. AIDS (Acquired ImmunoDifficiency Syndrome) weakens the body¹s immune system so it is sensitive to infection. The AIDS virus primarily attacks the T lymphocytes, which are a main part of the immune system. The virus is also incubated in cells called macrophages, where it is accidentally sent to other, healthy cells in the body like neurons and lymphatic cells. After HIV is contracted, the person looks and feels healt ...

... times stronger than the natural hormone testosterone. Not since the development of the anabolic steroid has any performance enhancer been so effective and so desired by athletes. Today, black market sales of anabolic steroids are topping $400 million per year. One million Americans, half of them adolescents, use black market steroids (Schrof, 54). Anabolic steroids are synthetic compounds that resemble the natural male sex hormone testosterone. Male hormones have two different effects in the body. Hormones have an anabolic effect, which stimulates growth, and they have an androgenic effect, which increases male sexual characteristics. Anabolic steroids are c ...
