.... fibrosis gene was discovered while at the same time, discussing the protein defect in the CF gene, the bio-chemical defect associated with CF, and possible treatments of the disease. Finding the Cystic Fibrosis Gene: The classical genetic approach to finding the gene that is responsible for causing a genetic disease has been to first characterize the bio-chemical defect within the gene, then to identify the mutated protein in the gene of interest, and finally to locate the actual gene. However, this classical approach proved to be impractical when searching for the CF gene. To find the gene responsible for CF, the principle of "reverse genetics" was applied .....

.... of counties without functional access to primary care increased by nearly 35% between 1970 and 1977. While rural America was facing this decline in available medical services, the total number of practicing physicians in the United States actually increased by 14%! Access to health care is a major problem in rural America. In some instances, driving through dangerous, winding, mountainous roads, which can be impassable in winter or when it rains can hinder people receiving medical services. Winstead-Fry, Tiffany, and Shippee-Rice (1992) stated that low incomes and high poverty rates are suffered by great amounts of the rural population, making health care in .....

.... by this account that the families support was not synonymous with autonomy. It did not appear that Mr. Gordon had ever desired or sought agency intervention for himself. Mr. Gordon's association with the mental health system appeared to be marked by power and control issues. "Consumers/ex-patients often report a feeling of "invisibility"; they sense that their views and desires do not matter (Carling, 1995, p.79 )." The commission's report (1995) spoke of several incidences where Mr. Gordon eluded to his desire for autonomy. Mr. Gordon did not wish to live in a supervised setting. Mr. Gordon did not wish to attend group day treatment settings. .....

.... cures and treatments springing into our clinics and homes at an unprecedented rate. Only a fool would argue that these advances are not helping millions, but the costs inherent with these new remedies make them inaccessible to many Americans who would benefit greatly from them. From 1971 to 1991 the price of health related goods and services climbed 30 percent faster that of other goods, placing far out of the financial reach of the working class of this nation. It is time to consider a true national health-care system, in order to insure that everyone, not just the wealthy, can enjoy good health. As it stands, America is the only civilized country where acc .....

.... as , But surviving the Marbug virus is higher. There are four strains of the virus that exsist. The first Strain is the Zaire. This strain was discovered in Zaire in 1976. The next strain is the Sudan. It was discovered in Sudan in 1976 and identified by Dr. Karl Johnson. This type of resurfaced again in sudan in 1979. Then Came Reston. This virus was brought by African monkeys that were imported to the United States in 1989. It was identified by Dr. Peter Jahling This type of is not believed to cause health poblems in humans. The most recent strain discovered is the Tai. It was identified by Dr. Bernard Le Guenno in 1995. It wa .....

.... introduced it to England in 1585. Raleigh also introduced the tradition of smoking it in a pipe. To comfort this tradition, many colonial inns hung clay pipes above their hearths for use of travelers. After smoking their tobacco they would break off a bit of the end and place it back above the hearth for the next person. By 1620, planters started to grow their own supply of tobacco. They started growing up to 100,000 pounds of tobacco a year! At this rate, the figure of tobacco got to be as high as 100 million pounds by the time of the American Revolution. In the 17th century, cultivating tobacco became the most important industry of the Virginia and M .....

.... the less that is known about an illness at the onset, the more possible causes it has. Think about all of the "causes" adduced fifteen years ago for AIDS! They include dope, sensation-enhancing drugs (poppers), etc. In the end, after scientific investigation, only one essential cause remains: HIV. No virus, then no disease, no matter what else is happening. By the same token, Gulf War syndrome has been attributed to a variety of causes, including, according to the Presidential Advisory Committee, these top 10 candidates: Biological warfare agents Chemical warfare agents Depleted uranium in shells, armor Infectious disea .....
