.... , nor can it prevent the somewhat of an early death that occurs. The bottom line of this disease is that it causes a loss of chloride transport. In 1938 Dorothy H. Anderson of Columbus University discovered some definite symptoms of CF () by performing autopsies on infected children. She had also named the genetic defect. Those were destruction of pancreas, damage to lungs and infections in lungs. By the 1940’s scientists discovered that thick secretions, which blocked digestive enzymes from the pancreas, were clogging the ductile systems and passageways. Which caused the ineffectiveness of the digestive track. The mucus is what trapped the infectious bacteri .....

.... brain to the Alzheimer's brain. There was a loss of nerve cells from the Cerebral Cortex in the Alzheimer's victim. Approximately ten percent of the neurons in this region were lost. But a ten percent loss is relatively minor, and cannot account for the severe impairment suffered by Alzheimer's victims. Neurofibrillary Tangles are also found in the brains of Alzheimer's victims. They are found within the cell bodies of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, and take on the structure of a paired helix. Other diseases that have "paired helixes" include Parkinson's disease, Down's Syndrome, and Dementia Pugilistica. Scientists are not sure how the paired helixes .....

.... the whole idea of individual rights, asserting that your life is a gift from God and that you are put on earth to fulfill a divine plan. Not surprisingly, therefore, conservatives become furious at the very idea of suicide. According to them, one who decides to "play God" by causing his own death, or assisting in the death of another, insults his Maker and invites eternal damnation. The Supreme Court's conservative bloc would never explicitly adopt such reasoning, because the First Amendment forbids the establishment of religion. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed, for the first time in the history of nations, that each person exists as an end in him .....

.... you decide to hazard a terrifying and humiliating black-market procedure. Women may be robbed of their education and opportunity for any development and self-fulfillment because of an unwanted pregnancy. The incursion on the liberty of an unmarried woman who becomes pregnant is even more severe. Unable to terminate her pregnancy, she is often forced into marriage against her will and better judgement in an attempt to cope with the new economical and social realities of her life. Of course, frequently, the man who is responsible for the pregnancy refuses to marry her, and responsibility to provide support. The woman may be forced to become a welfare recipi .....

.... field. The child who was just "murdered" could have seen all of these events come to pass, but instead, the child's mother had a partial-birth abortion and ended the infant's life forever. Partial-birth abortion is a topic that has caused a massive controversy in the past few years. In September, 1993, Brenda Pratt Shafer, a registered nurse with thirteen years of experience, was assigned by her nursing agency to an abortion clinic. Since Nurse Shafer considered herself to be "very pro-choice," she didn't think this assignment would be a problem. She was wrong. This is what Nurse Shafer saw: "I stood at the doctor's side and watched him perform a .....

.... models, the ANN's retain enough of the structure observed in the brain to provide insight into how biological neural processing may work (He90). Neural networks provide an effective approach for a broad spectrum of applications. Neural networks excel at problems involving patterns, which include pattern mapping, pattern completion, and pattern classification (He95). Neural networks may be applied to translate images into keywords or even translate financial data into financial predictions (Wo96). Neural networks utilize a parallel processing structure that has large numbers of processors and many interconnections between them. These processors are much .....

.... in ten anorexia nervosa leads to death from starvation, cardiac arrest, or suicide. Fortunately, increasing awareness of the dangers of eating disorders, sparked by medicall studies and extensive media coverage, has led many poeple to seek help. Nevertheless, some people with eating disorders refuse to admit that they have a problem and do not get treatment. Family and friends can help recognize the problem and encourage the person to seek treatment. Anorexia nervosa is a disorder where people intentionally starve themselves. It usually starts around the time of puberty and involves extreme weight loss. Sometimes they must be hospitalized to prevent starva .....

.... other harmful additives that A come from meat. And while once thought to be a movement that would never gain much momentum, it has nonetheless moved itself to the forefront of Americans healthy diets. The word vegetarian, used to describe the diets of people who do not consume animal flesh, was not used until around the mid-1800s. The concept of vegetarianism, however, dates back much further. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras, considered by many to be the father of vegetarianism, encouraged a non-meat diet among his followers as a diet that was the most natural and healthful (Messina 3). A excludes the consumption of meat, and can be exercised by people for .....
