.... Other dangers are dehydration, loss of potassium, and tearing of the esophagus. These eating disorders also occur in men and older women, but much less frequently. Women with diabetes, who have a high rate of bulimia, often lose weight after an eating binge by reducing their dose of insulin. According to recent research, this practice damages eye tissue and raises the risk of diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to blindness. Many anorectic women also indulge in occasional eating binges, and half of them make the transition to bulimia. About 40% of the most severely bulimic patients have a history of anorexia. It is not clear whether the combination of anorexia with ....

.... and convenient to use. And now more than ever we have a variety of choices that come close to these ideals. People often need different types of contraceptives to suit the different stages in their lives. A method that is useful for preventing pregnancies temporarily is not necessarily adequate for the woman who wants to stop child bearing completely. And a contraceptive that works well for someone who has sexual intercourse only occasionally may not be sufficiently effective for those who have sex often.

.... I screamed and screamed, but the monster got closer and closer. Soon, it began ripping my arm off. It hurt so bad, and the pain didn’t stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my legs off. I was dying. I knew that I would never be able to hear you say how much you love me, and I would never see your face. Although I was in complete utter pain, I wanted more than anything to be your little girl. No use now, for I was dying a painful death.” Maybe this isn’t what the baby feels, maybe it doesn’t feel anything at all, but its one very good perspective of it. I also believe that the pregnant woman should decided for herself whether or not she wants to abort her child ....

.... the best known antibiotic. Its discovery and later development is among mankind’s greatest achievements. have enabled the medical profession 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 th ....

.... is to never start smoking. Smoking can cause numerous diseases, such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and coronary heart disease. These three are the major causes of death for smokers. It also causes cancer of the lip and mouth, emphysema, cancer of the larynx, oral cavity and esophagus; about one third of all cancers of the bladder, kidney, and pancreas are attributed to smoking as well. Lung cancer has become the leading killer among cancers in the United States. More than eight of every ten cases of lung cancer are caused by smoking, and nine out of every ten victims die within five years. Emphysema is a progressive respiratory disease characte ....

.... of constant improvement. This theory further dismisses to a large extent the role of genetics, in which Ericsson reasons that there has been no great correlations between the attainment of superior performance and inherited traits. The purpose of this paper is to show agreement with Ericsson's theory, but only to the extent that deliberate practice is just one of many factors which must be included in order to gain expert status. Also, the task at hand can be a major determinant of how large a role practice plays in improvement. For example, in endurance sports such as marathon running, some are genetically endowed with a high aerobic capacity/VO2 max, and if these "spec ....

.... Thus, it was the decision of Socrates to drink the poison when he had the chance for escape. Judas committed after turning Christ into the authorities. He voluntarily hung himself from a tree to compensate, he thought, for his actions. Both Judas and Socrates fit the definition of because they took their own lives.

.... as foreign. At any given time in the body, there are approximately 2 trillion B cells present. The daughter cells resulting from B cell activation differentiate into two types. One of these types of cells that are being made in period I, is the plasma cell, a specialized antibody factory. It can make up to 30,000 antibodies a second. The second type of cell being made in period I is a memory cell. They also produce antibodies, however they live for long periods of time (up to a lifetime), compared to a plasma cell that lives only a few days. Memory cells are made so they can recognize this same antigen if it were to ever reenter the body again. Interactions between ....
