.... the American Food and Drug administration for use in treating the AIDS virus is called AZT, which stands for azido-thymidine. AZT was released under the brand name of Retrovir and it's chemical name is Zidovudine, or ZDV. The structural name of AZT is 3'-azido-3'- deoxythymidine. AZT works by inhibiting the process of copying DNA in cells. More specifically, AZT, inhibits the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which is involved in the DNA replication process. When DNA is replicating in a cell, there is a specific enzyme that works along one side of the original DNA strand as the DNA is split into two strands, copying each individual nucleotide. T .....

.... thought, what would be done to him? The answer was obvious: the pound, and the chloroform. No human being with a spark of pity could let a living thing suffer so, to no good end"( Rachels 13). The experience of Stewart Alsop, a respected journalist, with his terminally ill friend Jack, forces us to ask why a dying dog is entitled to more humane treatment than a human in the same condition. Finding a humane and sensible approach to treating the terminally ill has become a hotly debated topic in recent years. One approach to this problem is euthanasia, which by definition mean "a painless death, a mercy killing"(Webster's 190). In oth .....

Psychologists argue that people store different experiences in the right and left halves of their brain. The left stores sequential, logical, language-oriented experience; the right stores perceptual, spatial experiences. When people try to retrieve right-brain information through left-brain techniques, they sometimes hit a blank (Bass 71). Psychologists also state that forgetting is one of the most common and effective ways children deal with sexual abuse. Many children are able to forget about the abuse, even as it is happeni .....

.... samples of spinal fluid they set apart the 15 samples that were from people with Alzheimer's or an other related condition from the 19 samples from people who didn't have Alzheimer's. Most Alzheimer's patients are determined to have Alzheimer's by symptoms, psychological testing, and medical testing to prove its not another disease that is causing the person to appear to be having Alzheimer's. Scientists and other Alzheimer's experts felt it was too soon to see how useful this test might be for doctors. Doctors diagnosis's are usually 80 to 90% accurate. Alzheimer's patients show an extensive amount of amyloid beta- protein. The test i .....

.... from it. If consumed at higher rate then needed it is stored in the tunica interna, the innermost layer, of blood vessels. As it is stored it starts to build up eventually clogging the vessel. As a result of this all cells feed by the vessel die because of a lack of oxygen. If this condition is found early, it can be corrected with surgical procedures or, in some minor cases, corrective procedures. Surgical procedures include bypass, laser and balloon surgery. In bypass surgery a vein is removed from the lower leg and a clogged vessel is worked around. Often in type of surgery the whole mid section of the body is cut and the ribs a .....

Not to be confused with asthma is a similar, but less intense, tightening of the bronchial muscles that occurs in people who are exposed to large amounts of noxious fumes, tobacco smoke, and other pollutants.

There are ways of preventing some epidemics from starting, but not everyone agrees with the terms. Thus, these prevention plans for some diseases fail. Humanity is faced with many dangers of a doomsday in the next millennium, but the one that seems the most likely to happen is a world epidemic. Human activities and behavior often help increases the risk of a world epidemic. In such activities like increased travel, shipments of resources and wild animals increase the possibility of catching a deadly virus and starting to spread an epid .....
