.... steroids can be taken in two ways, by injection or they can be taken orally. Both oral and injected steroids carry benefits and adverse effects. Orally taken steroids are well absorbed into the stomach and they are excreted fairly rapidly. The bad side of taking oral steroids is that they are more toxic than injected steroids. They are highly potent, which makes the risk of overdosing very high. Steroids that are injected are less toxic to the liver and are less potent than oral steroids on an equal dosage basis. Injected steroids have a delayed take up, which makes them last longer. It also allows them to be detected in drug tests for a longer period o .....

.... People who say that they are "pro-life" are in effect no more than "anti-choice". These pro-lifers want to put the life and future of a women into the hands of the government. Abortion, and the choice a women may make, is a very private thing and should not be open to debate. The question of morality should not even come into play when considering abortion, because in this case the question is not of morality but of choice and constitutionality. The ninth amendment states "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." This in turn, is guaranteeing a women the right to hav .....

.... Instead, different strains of HIV can be quantified by how fast they produce the onset of AIDS. In short, the more virulent strains have greater success in shortening the length of onset of AIDS after contracting HIV (1). The second type of virulence noted by Ewald (1) was in circumstances where contraction of the pathogen did not guarantee death to the host. Most pathogens we are familiar with today fall into the latter category. In this case, virulence of the pathogen can, and is, measured by mortality rates. Here, more virulent strains kill more hosts. If mortality rates are very low or not present at all, greater virulence can be expressed as causin .....

.... grows up, they are ideally taught to be good and to do good things, but it is possible that the concept of evil can be presented to us. When this happens, we subconsciously choose whether or not to accept this evil. An example of this might be when a young child does something wrong without knowing that it was wrong, their mother or father might yell at them, and say to them something like: "Bad boy, go to your room!" The child might then understand that what he did was bad, and he is getting punished for it. The child might then not do anything similar from then on, because he knows that it is socially unacceptable. The child might also continue to do .....

.... all together (move far away). They may also need to cope with the uncertainty of when their children will be leaving because there are no guidelines on when this stage will come or pass. The time of retirement, and when all the children have left, is called the empty nest. For most parents, this is the threshold of their lives and usually includes a large lifestyle change. They have the crisis of losing their role as a parent and needing to find a new sense of identity without this role. Feelings that come with this part of the crisis include depression, self-doubt, heartache and low spirits. They must also handle any kind of regret or feeling of failure a .....

.... surgeon general's report. The proportion of males who smoke decreased from more than 60 percent to about 25 percent; however, the percentage of women who smoke cigarettes increased. Smoking also became more prevalent among young adults, with about 29 percent of high school seniors admitting to smoking in 1975; but by 1987 this proportion decreased to 18.7 percent. There are programs that exist to help smokers quit. Some involve group support, whereas others use aversive techniques in which participants smoke many cigarettes rapidly to the point of becoming sick of them. More than 30 million persons in the U.S. say that they would like to quit smoking but c .....

.... of the factories? You would think that it would be thrown away, right? Well, you are wrong again. The meat is just picked back up and packaged. I don't know about you but I think something has got to be done to keep our food clean and edible. The other half of this story is the ridiculous cures that some people are receiving. I have heard of alcohlics who are trying to breaktheir habits being given a bottle of medicine that contains 80 % alcohol. Something there doesn't sound right. People are being given the same treatment for epilepsy and all sorts of other disorders. How is alcohol going to help someone that has epilepsy? The only thing these n .....

.... can use to protect yourself from these rays is to wear sunscreen. This sunscreen can protect your body from longer than it can normally last out in the sun. Depending on the person and the SPF of the sunscreen, you can stay as long it says you can. For example, if you usually start to burn after about 20 minutes, SPF 2 protects you for about 40 minutes. IF you are a dark individual you can get by with lower SPF than people with lighter skin can. Most doctors agree that SPF 15 is the best because there isn’t enough sunlight for a need to have higher SPF. Minimizing the effects on the skin and eyes of the sun’s UV rays is easy. When you are out side in th .....
