“That Time Of The Month”
Number of words: 528 - Number of pages: 2.... can’t broadcasters simply place these women commercials on one channel? First of all, men won’t have to watch these commercials and women, if they are inquiring about which device best suits their needs, can turn to this channel. To make it even more easy for them, the editors of the T.V. guide can list special “women ad” showings in its magazine just as it gives us listings of various shows shown throughout the day. This will not only aid a woman’s interest, but it will also soothe men’s hatred with these commercials.
The reason Jon has noticed his horrible luck with the T.V. .....

Number of words: 2863 - Number of pages: 11.... and excreted in the
urine. Any disease or condition that reduces glomerular filtration or increases
protein catabolism results in elevated BUN levels.
Creatinine is another indicator of kidney function. Creatinine is a
waste product derived from creatine. It is freely filtered by the glomerulus
and blood levels are useful for estimating glomerular filtration rate. Muscle
tissue contains phosphocreatinine which is converted to creatinine by a
nonenzymatic process. This spontaneous degradation occurs at a rather
consistent rate (Merck, 1991).
Causes of increases of both BUN and creatinin .....

Gregor Mendel's Theories Of Genetic Inheritance
Number of words: 336 - Number of pages: 2.... in
inherited characters. The sescond idea is that for each character, an organism
inherits two genes, one form each parent. So this means that a homolohous loci
may have matching alleles, as in the true-breeding plants of Mendel's P
generation(parental). If the alleles differ, then there will be F hybrids. The
third idea states that if the two alleles differ, the receessive allele will
have no affect on the organism's appearance. So a F hybrid plant that has
purple flowers, the dominant allele will be the purple-color allele and the
recessive allele would be the white-color allele. The idea .....

AIDS
Number of words: 379 - Number of pages: 2.... the infected mother's fetus will also cause the disease.
Although some speculation, you cannot receive the disease from air, food,
water, or insects.
AIDS is a life and death issue. To have the AIDS disease is a
sentence of slow but inevitable death. There currently is no cure or
vaccine for this disease. There are drugs that have been proven effective

ourselves from it. But too few people are hearing the AIDS message.
Perhaps many simply don't like or want to believe what the .....

Number of words: 541 - Number of pages: 2.... look better. Many people believe that it is up to each individual to decide what they want to do with their body. Yet, does it really help to have your skin pulled up to your cheeks so you can’t smile?
Cosmetic surgeries carry a high degree of risk, sometimes can cost one’s life. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, five patients did not survive undergoing liposuctions. Although the doctors could not say for sure that liposuctions caused the deaths, they strongly suspected the procedure contributed to them.

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 of time.
How they work in the body:
When anabolic steroids are introduced into the body, under certain
conditions they increase: protein synthesis, lean body mass, and the nitrogen
balance in the body. A steroid receptor is formed which stimulates the

synthesis is also increased. One enzyme system tha .....

Is Ritalin Over Prescribed?
Number of words: 1676 - Number of pages: 7.... leaves the receptor site quicker than Ritalin, possibly making it more addictive (Snyderman 1). Ritalin is not a drug that is typically sold on the street like cocaine or marijuana. It is a drug that doctors prescribe to help children and adults with hyperactivity and attention problems. But are these trained professionals over prescribing it? The road a child has to take to get on Ritalin is very long and often very hard. A child has to be observed by a teacher or parent, get a medical exam, and be observed by many specialists. What are all these doctors looking for? Well, first the medic .....
