is a complex area which requires careful judgment by physician and patient.
Angina is a manifestation of coronary artery disease, the same disease
leading to heart attacks. Coronary artery diseas refers to those syndromes
caused by blockage to the flow of blood in those arteries supplying the
heart muscle itself, i.e., the coronary arteries. Like any other organ, the
heart requires a steady flow of oxygen and nutrients to provide energy for
rmovement, and to maintain the delicate balance of chemicals which allow
for the careful electrical rhythm control of the heart beat. Unlike some
other organs, the he .....

Antibiotics
Words: 1643 - Pages: 6.... to treat effectively many infectious diseases, including some that were once life-threatening.
How Antibiotics Work ?
Antibiotics can be bacteriostatic (bacteria stopped from multiplying) or bactericidal (bacteria killed). To perform either of these functions, antibiotics must be brought into contact with the bacteria.
It is believed that antibiotics interfere with the surface of bacteria cells, causing a change in their ability to reproduce. Testing the action of an antibiotic in the laboratory shows how much exposure to the drug is necessary to halt reproduction or to kill the bacteria. Although a large amount of an antibiotic taken at .....

Aspirin

irritation. ASA reduced fever, relieved moderate pain, and, at higher doses,
alleviated rheumatic fever and arthritic conditions.
Though Hoffmann was confident that ASA would prove more affective than
other salicylates, but his superiors incorrectly stated that ASA weakens the
heart and that physicians would not subscribe it. Hoffmann's employer,
Friedrich Bayer and Company, gave ASA its now famous name, aspirin.
It is not yet fully known how aspirin works, but most authorities agree
that it achieves some of its effects by hindering the flow of prostaglandins. .....

Why I Believe In Voluntary Euthanasia
Words: 1874 - Pages: 7.... all forms of self-destruction
'suicide.'
Let me point out here for those who might not know it that suicide is
no longer a crime anywhere in the English-speaking world. (It used to be,
and was punishable by giving all the dead person's money and goods to the
government.) Attempted suicide is no longer a crime, although under health
laws a person can in most states be forcibly placed in a psychiatric
hospital for three days for evaluation.
But giving assistance in suicide remains a crime, except in the
Netherlands in recent times under certain conditions, and it has never been
a crime in Switzerland, Germany, Norway and Uruguay. T .....

Abortion And Politics
Words: 1150 - Pages: 5.... liberty of an unmarried woman who becomes pregnant is even more severe. Unable to terminate her pregnancy, she is often forced into marriage against her will and better judgement in an attempt to cope with the new economical and social realities of her life. Of course, frequently, the man who is responsible for the pregnancy refuses to marry her, and responsibility to provide support. The woman may be forced to become a welfare recipient, become part of this cycle of poverty, and expose herself to the personal humiliation, loss of personal liberty, and inadequate income this entails.
The impact of pregnancy is not only restricted to econom .....

It is stated by Newkarm that general health requires that the total intake of all fats, especially animal fats is reduced. Fatty deposits in the arteries and gallstones are to a large extent made up of cholesterol (19). When foods high in fat content are eaten, excessive amounts of cholesterol are made in the body.
