Psychoanalysis
... referred to
as conversion disorder.) The French neurologist Jean Martin CHARCOT tried to rid
the mind of undesirable thoughts through hypnotic suggestion, but without
lasting success. Josef Breuer, a Viennese physician, achieved better results by
letting Anna O., a young woman patient, try to empty her mind by just telling
him all of her thoughts and feelings.
Freud refined Breuer's method by conceptualizing theories about it and, using
these theories, telling his patients through interpretations what was going on
inside the unconscious part of their minds, thus making the unconscious become
conscious. Many hysterias were cured this way, and in 1895, Breuer an ...

other behavioral sciences and nursing. They also must take liberal arts

The Controversy Surrounding The Gulf War Syndrome
... as though
the allies had done their job. There was also another reason to celebrate.
The allies only lost 149 troops to Iraq's thousands and thousands. On
April 6, it was officially over after Iraq agreed to a
permanent cease-fire. Allied troops started heading home, including Mark.
There were tears and laughs along with parades and other festivities to
celebrate the war's end when troops returned home to their loving countries.
As for Mark, he had done his job, he defeated the enemy and kept himself
alive. His own personal joy and relief overwhelmed him to the extent of
asking his girlfriend for her hand in marriage. She immediately said yes.

superficial to the bones, like biceps, triceps...) and cardiac (heart). Their
functions are movement, to maintain body posture & tone and in the production of
body heat.
Now its time for the Nervous System. Its constructed of the brain, the spinal
cord and the nerves (neurons). Its functions are to communicate (fast with short
duration), integration, and to control. The subsequent system is the Endocrine
System (known as ductless too...). This is composed of a lot of things... They
are:pituitary gland - below the brain (master gland), pineal gland - brain (It`s

Xenotransplantation
... the back shelf until the 1960's when scientists started researching why was rejected by the body so quickly.
It was not until the last decade that transplantation of animal organs into humans became a realistic goal. Thanks to Jeffery Platt, a professor of experimental surgery at Duke University Medical center who devoted his career to the understanding of how the human immune system recognizes foreign implanted tissue and rejects it.
He concluded that the immune system works likes an army with several lines of defense to protect the body from infection by foreign organisms such as bacteria and parasites. This line of defense will also attack a foreign organ. It ...

Attention Deficit Disorder
... or do not at all in times, it all differs at times and when this happens it causes a.d.d. to occur.
There are a few different categories that a.d.d. can be broken down into one of them is A.D.H.D. which makes it very difficult for children to follow along in class. Usually children with A.D.H.D. are more problematic or harder to keep in line, because A.D.H..D. is involving much more hyperactive behavior.
A.D.D. is a genetic disease, and in the case of A..D..D. If a child has it there is a more than good chance the parent has it as well. Fifty percent of parents that have kids with A.D.D. have A.D.D. as well. There are many different symptoms and effects of A. ...

Resuscitation From Severe Hemorrhage
... often a problem. There are 3 types of hemorrhagic shock: compensated hemorrhagic shock; uncompensated hemorrhagic shock, the shock which is reversible; and irreversible hemorrhagic shock. The most popular way of resuscitation is the use of lactated ringer's solution to make up for lost blood volume by making the cells swell and in turn restores normotension. This works fairly well but it is not the optimal treatment.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Half of the deaths that occur annually are due to acute illness or injury, and are associated with circulatory failure or shock. Some of these deaths could be avoided by the proper monitoring. The present technology is the monitor ...

The Human Brain Vs. The Computer
... that the object cannot
surpass its creator? How can this be true? Even if we just focus on a single
creation of man, say the subject of this essay, the computer, there are many
ways in which the computer has the edge over man. Let us start with basic
calculation. The computer has the capability to evaluate problems that man can
hardly even imagine, let alone approach. Even if a man can calculate the same
problems as a computer, the computer can do it far faster than he can possibly
achieve. Let us go one step further. Say this man can calculate as fast as a
computer, can he, as the computer can, achieve a 100% rate of accuracy in his
calculation? Why do we ...

Health Care Reforms
... related acquisition costs. The key opportunities will be changing processes to reduce the delivered cost of materiel through cost accounting, imbedded cost and cash flow.
One technique that seeks to discover true cost levels is a commercially used management accounting system, activity-based costing. Activities that drive cost levels are identified and then analyzed in terms of their value to the production of the end product. For health services the end product would be the aggregation of applied procedures, tests and therapies related to a particular patient treatment. Accounting systems categorize expenditures in terms of labor, materiel and capital, all ...

Physician Assisted Suicide
... ill patient who is mentally competent has made the choice to either partake in physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia. “Physician-assisted suicide occurs when the physician provides the patient with the means and/or knowledge to commit suicide”(Death and Dying,91). “Euthanasia is when the physician administers the death causing drug or agent”(Death and Dying,92). The most recent case is that of The State of Florida v. Charles Hall. “Charles Hall is dying of AIDS and challenged the State of Florida to let him die by a self-administered lethal injection without fear of prosecution”(http://www.rights.org/ deathnet/open.html).
