While cell phones have greatly influenced our lifestyle, consumers fail to look at the possible dangers or potential harm from cell phone usage. Throughout the years questions have arisen about the safety of cell phones. Cell phones are known to give off electromagnetic radiation. This paper will explore the dangers, if any, of cell phone usage. What is electromagnetic radiation?
The scientific evidence on the E-cigarette is not final; it doesn’t prove or show medical evidence on how they will affect a person’s health. They have surfaced at a prime time and hit the shelves when people are automatically viewing them as being much safer over a regular cigarette. The marketing
Which response to the test indicates that Shiri has myasthenia gravis? A) No significant change in Shiri's neurovascular assessment. INCORRECT This result does not confirm that Shiri has MG. B) Reduced amplitude of electrical stimulation in Shiri's muscle. INCORRECT This is the expected result of an electromylogram (EMG) study for a client diagnosed with MG but it does not confirm the diagnosis. C) Antiacetylcholine receptor antibodies present in the blood.
Another way of reducing the potential harm to intravenous drug users is to provide medically controlled drugs as a substitute for street drugs. Drugs such as methadone are less harmful than street heroin, partly because they are free from impurities. An issue with the public health interventions I have discussed is that it may be too early to measure. It is still too early to see the full effect of the smoking ban as it was only introduced fairly recently, which could explain why there have been no significant changes in the number of smokers following the ban. As well as this, harm minimisation programmes are controversial because they appear to condone
The results were that the chance of developing a cold correlated with stress index scores. The life event lowered the immune function and increased vulnerability to the virus. However there were several problems with this research, one of which was that it was an indirect study- there was no direct measure of the immune system for example no blood test or medical test was taken as evidence. Consequently we cannot determine how far the participant’s immune system was affected in relation to the stress. Another key problem was that there were was no direct manipulation of the independent variable so the study doesn’t tell us which element of the stress index is most important and related to the decrease in immune function.
The overwhelmingly negative results in studies about the efficacy in Echinacea in treating and preventing the common cold show that it is indeed no better than any other alternative medication. However, not much research has been shown about the effects of the herb on other illnesses. There have been suggestive studies on the positive effect of Echinacea on cancers and skin conditions, but there is little research to prove either side. Perhaps in the future a better use of this herb can be found that may benefit many people around the
Let’s face it; there is just not enough information and facts about the implantable microchip to be putting this into humans! So to answer the question, You want to put “what” under my skin? The answer is not this girl and not any time soon! References David, M. (2007). Implantable RFID May Be Easy, But That Doesn't Mean It's Ethical.
Keep in mind that hypnotherapy is not dangerous. The hypnotist cannot make you do something you don't want to do. The greatest risk usually involves the unintended creation of false memories based on suggestions from the hypnotherapist. As for the drawbacks, the major criticism of hypnotherapy for smoking cessation is that no research to date has proven it works. Also, hypnotherapy is not considered a valid treatment for people who are alcoholics or drug addicts or are dealing with hallucinations and psychotic
The author assumes that this surgery will correct future complications that Ashley might possibly encounter. However, she did not point out the fact that proceeding with surgery on a child who is already disabled might trigger worse case scenarios since this procedure has never been tested. Gibbs describes how anyone who takes estrogen is at risk for a blood clot and quotes Ashley’s doctor, “’There were very few reports of thrombosis amount the teenage patients, he says, ‘So I suspect the risk is fairly low...’”(742). It is stated that he “suspects”, meaning he’s only “guessing” that the chances of something dangerous happening is unlikely to occur. Gibbs gives an example of the doctor comparing a child to a teenager concluding that if a teenager’s risk of thrombosis is low then a child risk will be even lower.
Scientists believe this method will transform the severe disease of Duchenne muscular dystrophy to a much milder Becker muscular dystrophy. For me, some pros to this approach would be a cure for a severe case of muscular dystrophy, but it is unfortunate that the patient will still have the disorder, just in a milder form. A con would be any side effects that exon skipping may have. Since there are not any recorded cases of this being done in the United States, it is hard to know whether or not exon skipping could be potentially dangerous to those who want to try the treatment since testing in human patients is still out of the question. Another con is within the administration of the treatment.
