.... (Honig 209-211). Having a "split personality" is often incorrectly associated with schizophrenia. Possessing multiple personalities on different occasions is a form of neurosis vice psychosis (Chapman). Symptoms most commonly associated with schizophrenia include delusions, hallucinations, and thought disorder (Torrey 1). Delusions are irrational ideas, routinely absurd and outlandish. A patient may believe that he or she is possessed of great wealth, intellect, importance or power. Sometimes the patient may think he is George Washington or another great historical person (Chapman). Hallucinations are common, particularly auditory, as voices in the third person or comm ....

.... is a very serious disease and should not be taken lightly. Early on there was a struggle to learn about , but things soon became clearer, although not all is still known. When it was first discovered researchers had named it the T-lymphotropic virus, type III ( HTLV-III ), but later they renamed it HIV-1 because several more forms were discovered. After the virus enters the bloodstream, it destroys white blood cells ( T-lymphocytes). Since they play a big role in the immune system, their presence is very damaging. also infects another part of the immune system. Once the virus gets to the macrophages, it doesn't destroy them, but instead it stores it there. Later the mac ....

.... experience blurred or double vision. Most users experience dizziness, drowsiness and sometimes nausea. Repeated use or deep inhalation can cause confusion, loss of control and even loss of consciousness. Long term effects of glue inhalation include kidney and liver damage, and damage to the central nervous system (including the brain). Sniffing glue out of a plastic bag can cause suffocation. If you pass out the bag can remain stuck to your face. Never leave someone who's been sniffing glue on their own. Many sudden deaths are caused by glue sniffing. The location of where someone sniffs can be a danger too. Busy roads, railways, building sites, canals and rivers become e ....

.... information about the structure, organization, and characteristics of human DNA, information that constitutes the basic set of inherited "instructions" for the development and functioning of a human being. The Human Genome Project began in the mid 1980's and was widely examined within the scientific community and public press through the last half of that decade. In the United States, the Department of Energy (DOE) initially, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) soon after, were the main research agencies within the US government responsible for developing and planning the project. By 1988, the two agencies were working together, an association that was formalized by ....

.... are women. One out of every two women and one in five men have an Osteoporosis-related fracture. By age 75, one third of all men will be affected by osteoporosis. While osteoporosis is often thought of as an older person's disease, it can strike at any age. Osteoporosis is responsible for 1.5 million fractures annually, including: -more than 300,000 hip fractures -500,000 vertebral fractures -200,000 wrist fractures Certain some people are more likely to develop Osteoporosis than others. These factors can increase your chances of getting osteoporosis. -A family history of fractures in elderly women -Use of certain medic ....

.... of a sufferer's offspring inheriting the disease. Because a victim usually does not begin to display symptoms until after the period in which he or she would have children and the disease may have been misdiagnosed in earlier generations as Parkinson's disease or other similar affliction, he or she might pass along the gene without even knowing it. The gene for Huntington's disease is located on the short arm of chromosome four in cytogenetic band 4p16.3. It was first identified in 1993. While everyone posseses this gene, in someone suffering from Huntington's disease, the number of repeats of a certain trinucleotide, cytozine-adenine- guanine (CAG), is much larger th ....

.... mussels and sponges. Muscles, for instance, filter algae and other tiny organisms from the water and digest them within the cells of a special digestive gland. Intracellular digestion occurs even in some animals that consume large pieces of food; the prey captured by Hydra, for example, is partly digested in the coelenteron, a gut-like cavity, and the residue is completely digested in cells of the body wall. Scientists believe that intracellular digestion in organisms such as Hydra has evolved from such protozoans as amoebae and paramecia. In most higher animals digestion is completed not in the cell in the cavity of a digestive tract (the stomach and intestine). Animals wit ....

.... among already ill patients transferred from Kikwit to other hospitals. The index case, seen in early April, was a hospital laboratory worker presumed at first to have typhoid; subsequent cases were initially found among a surgical team and others who cared for the laboratory worker, with secondary spread to other health workers and to family members acting as carers. Two thirds of the deaths have been among health workers. Until the outbreak provoked a response, Kikwit General Hospital was short of barrier nursing supplies and disinfectants. The current outbreak resembles earlier African out breaks, in which the first cases were found in hospitals where infection control me ....
