.... there were two types of word-blindness. In one type, a person could not read or write, in the other the person was able to write but was still unable to read. When the brains of these patients were studied they reveled hemorrhages (Copper 1). Another early case of was reported in 1895. Dr. Pringle Morgan diagnosed Percy a fourteen year-old boy with congenital word blindness. Percy was described as bright, healthy and skilled at mathmatics. He, apparently, however had difficulty reading and writing. In 1897 several cases similar to that of Percy were investigated.

.... was proposed by Fritz Heider (1946, 1958) and was later revised by Theodore Newcomb (1953) (Larson, 1995). Heider and Newcomb's theory was mostly looking at the interaction between two people (interpersonally) and the conflicts that arose between them. When two people have conflicting opinions or tension is felt between another person, it is more likely persuasion will occur. Because if no tension was felt between the two parties, or there were no conflicting opinions there would be no need to persuade each other. If you think about it persuasion occurs only because there is tension between two facts, ideas or people. Charles Larson writes .....

.... child inside them is their property and it's life doesn't be until birth. In 1973, the United States Supreme Court decided that as long as the baby lived in the womb, he or she would be the property of the mother. Because of this decision almost every third baby conceived in America is killed by abortion, over one and a half million babies a year (Willke vii). Many countries have followed our decision on the abortion issue and some of these include Canada, England, and France. Other countries still believe abortion should be illegal, they include Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand. Although many believe that abortion is a women's choice, a .....

.... understand the course of depression, it is first necessary to define exactly what depression is and what causes it. Heredity seems to play a major part in many cases of depression. “Studies of families, in which members of each generation develop bipolar disorder, found that those with the illness have a somewhat different genetic makeup than those who did not get ill. However the reverse is not true� (Morgan 561). A stressful environment, such as a bad work situation, family problems, and even problems with one’s own sex life are common catalysts for depression. Even though these are usually not at the basis of the individual†.....

.... intervention for patients experiencing surgical incision site pain within the first forty-eight hours after surgery. PROBLEM STATEMENT The question posed for study is: "Is therapeutic touch an effective intervention for decreasing a patients surgical site pain within the first forty-eight hours after surgery?". The independent variable is therapeutic touch. The dependant variable is decreasing surgical site pain. The population to be studied will be patients on a thirty bed medical-surgical floor of a Lake Charles hospital. Fifty surgical patients will be studied over a four week period. The patients will be randomly selected to a .....

.... Strep throats are spherical and are caused by streptococcus. Spherical usually link together to form long chains of cells. Another serious case of causing diseases is tooth decay and ulcers. Tooth decay leads to cavities, which means is arises the film on our teeth. People with diets high in sugar have a higher chance of getting tooth decay or cavities. The sugar us turned into lactic acid, the acid leads to a lost of calcium and if followed by the breaking down of the tooth. Scientists have found that most stomach ulcers are the result of l infection. Many of us once believed that stress was the caused of ulcers. It is possible tha .....

.... that she actually had active tuberculosis. This misdiagnosis shows the similarities between the two diseases and how easily they can be confused. Pneumonia Pneumonia is a serious infection or inflammation of the lungs with exudation and consolidation. Pneumonia can be one of two types: lobar pneumonia or bronchial pneumonia. Lobar pneumonia affects one lobe of a lung while bronchial pneumonia affects the areas closest to the bronchi (O'Toole, 1992). In the United States over three million people are infected with pneumonia each year; five percent of which die. Etiology There are over 30 causes for pneumonia however .....

.... Under Natural Selection, some individuals in a population have adaptations that allow them to survive and reproduce more than other individuals. These adaptations become more common in the population because of this higher reproductive success. Over time, the characteristics of the population as a whole can change, sometimes even resulting in the formation of a new species. Humans have survived for thousands of years and will most like survive thousands of more. Throughout the history of the Huminoid species man has evolved from Homo Erectus to what we today call Homo Sapiens, or what we know today as modern man.. The topic of this paper .....
