.... home regulations provide for “warehouse-style” settings and are in most cases not therapeutic to the Alzheimer’s or dementia resident. Many of these regulations border on abusive for the dementia patient (Johnson 11). Some nursing homes are beginning to respond to this growing issue by developing distinct units, innovative in their design and operations. These new units are dementia special care units and are necessary to the treatment and well being of a resident with Alzheimer’s disease or a related forms of dementia. In order to understand what benefits a person will receive from a special care unit, we must first examine what dementia is. When most p ....

.... 'huntington' located on chromosome 4. The classic signs of Huntington disease are progressive chorea, rigidity, and dementia, frequently associated with seizures. Studies & Research Studies were done to determine if somatic mtDNA (mitochondria DNA) mutations might contribute to the neurodegeneration observed in Huntington's disease. Part of the research was to analyze cerebral deletion levels in the temporal and frontal lobes. Research hypothesis: HD patients have significantly higher mtDNA deletionlevels than agematched controls in the frontal and temporal lobes of the cortex. To test the hypothesis, the amount of mtDNA deletion in 22 HD patients brains was examined by s ....

.... years later W.P Morgan gave it the name dyslexia. WP Morgan also classified it much better. He described it as a variety of reading, writing, and spelling disorders. Later James Hinshelwood, a Scottish eye surgeon cleared up the myth that dyslexia is caused bye vision problems. There are many distinct types of dyslexia, but there is not just one particular cause of dyslexia. The causes are usually a combination of both biological and environmental influences. The left part of the brain controls the production and comprehension of language and it also deals with orderly and precise thought. The right part of the brain controls visual perception, emotion, instincts, and ....

.... are the biggest veins in the body. The Superior is really the biggest. These veins have a lot of carbon dioxide and have oxygen-poor blood. The aorta is the biggest artery in the whole body. Which will be covered in the report. The pulmonary vein takes the blood out of the heart and takes it to the lungs. Today we will talk about many different parts of the heart: The Three Layers of Muscle, Atriums, Ventricles, Systole and Diastole, Treatments for the Heart, Valves, and many Diseases. The Three Layers of Muscle The heart has three layers of a muscular wall. A thin layer of tissue, the pericardium covers the outside, and another layer, the endocar ....

.... actual facts surrounding AIDS. Some tend to believe that it is spread by kissing, touching toilet seats, and even that it is spread by mosquitoes. AIDS has also been labeled the disease of homosexual men. These are all false beliefs,proven through many scientific studies.

Prostitutes contract and spread AIDS through sexual activity with several different partners without knowing their part ....

.... during the cooking process. The average person consumes about one gram of Creatine a day from a regular diet. (3) Creatine is also produced endogenously by the liver, pancreas and kidneys. The body of a 70-kg individual produces about two grams of Creatine a day consisting a turnover rate of about 1.6% a day. The body of a 70-kg individual would contain a total of about 120 grams of Creatine. Approximately 60% of the Creatine is stored in its phosphorylated form, phosphocreatine also known as Creatine phosphate(1). Approximately 95% of the body’s Creatine supply are found in the skeletal muscles. The remaining 5% are scattered throughout the rest of the body, with the high ....

.... Scientist have concluded that there are three different strains of the Ebola virus. The scientist have been able to diagnosed the virus y a technique called ELISA(enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay, this technique looks for specific viral proteins mode from the infected patient. When the virus is detected there is stricked safety precautions all nurses and others have to go through and do. The CDC has classified the Ebola virus as a Biosafety level 4, which means that the greatest safety precautions are taken. This Ebola cell is shaped as a long filamentous, and sometimes are also found in "U" shaped. The virus consists of a coiled strand of RNA containe ....
